Secular and Humanist Wedding
A secular and humanist wedding has the formality of a religious ceremony but without the inclusion of God and other theological notions. Rather than adhering to the standard religious wedding fare, the couple is free to include readings, vows, and music that affirm what they find meaningful and important. Also, it emphasizes the humanist belief that we are creatures wanting and needing to learn, create, love, and, most importantly, direct our own lives.
