This is really important for anyone considering getting married, and for anyone with an opinion on how people should be able to marry.
Currently Independent Celebrants at not allowed to carry out a full legal Wedding Ceremony. So if you want a truly personalised Wedding Ceremony, you have to pay twice, once for the Celebrant who creates the Ceremony that reflects who you are and exactly how you want your day to go, you then have to pay for a Registrar - simply to do the legal bit. This is an outdated system.
Please have your say in the consultation, it's quite long but you don't need to complete all of it if that is a bit daunting, just complete the 'about you' stuff and then number 6 the celebrant stuff.
I would be so grateful if you could find 5 minutes to support me as an Independent Celebrant and all the other amazing Celebrants out there.
Please have a look at the attached slides and request the link to have your say. Thank you xx
