What is symbolic marriage?
The right solution for those who dream of a romantic wedding but at the same time free from conventions, signatures and bureaucracy.
The symbolic wedding can be held wherever you want: on a beautiful beach made of white sand, or in the middle of a wood with the sounds of nature around, in front of you the celebrant and around your loved ones. All this is not a dream, but a possibility: that of being able to get married with a symbolic rite.
Symbolic marriage, as the name suggests, is a symbol that represents the will to seal a union, with a ritual that has no civil or legal value, unlike the religious and civil rite.
The religious rite is generally celebrated only in the church and through the reading of the articles of the Civil Code, during the religious ceremony, it also has civil value. Civil marriages can only be celebrated in places authorized by the State (town hall, villas or gardens) by an authorized celebrant.
Symbolic marriage, on the other hand, has no constraints or restrictions: it is a very romantic ceremony, chosen by those couples who are not interested in signing a contract, but only witnessing and making a love concrete and tangible through a ritual.
How and where can a symbolic wedding be organized?
There are no constraints and therefore it is possible to organize the symbolic wedding where you like best: by the sea, in a private villa, in a garden, on a farm, in the woods, even in your own home. The only trick: always ask for permits and authorizations from the municipality for what concerns public places.
How to organize a symbolic wedding?
The ceremony requires the couple and a celebrant, witnesses are not necessary. The celebrant can be anyone but it is better to rely on an expert person.
Why choose a symbolic wedding?
There can be various reasons, such as having always dreamed of a romantic getaway to get married in the Caribbean?
