Civil wedding is a type of union increasingly chosen by couples who wish to celebrate their love in an authentic, flexible and personalized way. This option is distinguished by its simplicity and modernity, making it an ideal solution for those seeking an alternative to the religious rite, but with the same emotional depth and legality.
The characteristics of civil wedding
A civil wedding is officiated by a registrar, usually the mayor or a municipal delegate, and takes place at a licensed location. The main moments of the ceremony include:
- Reading the articles of the Civil Code, which regulate the rights and duties of spouses.
- The exchange of vows, an intimate and personal moment in which the future spouses declare their love and commitment to each other.
- The signing of official records, which legally sanctions the union.
The ceremony can be enriched with personal elements such as readings, speeches by friends or relatives, and music chosen by the bride and groom, making the rite even more special and closer to their love story.
Why is civil wedding increasingly chosen?
In recent years, civil wedding has seen increasing popularity for several reasons:
- Flexibility and customization: Unlike religious rite, civil wedding allows the bride and groom to customize many aspects of the ceremony, from the location to the program, creating an event that fully reflects their personality.
- Choice of location: While religious weddings are traditionally held in a church, civil weddings can be held in a variety of licensed locations, such as villas, cottages, beaches or gardens. This gives couples the opportunity to choose a setting that reflects their wishes.
- Inclusiveness: Civil wedding is ideal for couples of different cultural and religious backgrounds or even those who do not identify with a particular belief. It is a universal rite that celebrates love without limits.
- Organizational simplicity: Compared to a religious wedding, civil wedding is generally shorter and less formal, allowing the bride and groom to organize the event with more serenity.
- Modernity: Many couples see civil wedding as an option more in line with contemporary values, where the essence of the celebration is centered on love and commitment to each other.
Civil wedding is perfectly suited for couples who seek a unique, modern and customizable union, putting their desires and love story at the center.
