This is something that’s been popping up quite a bit recently in celebrant enquiries...

Couples getting married in 2027 are asking if they’ll be able to legally marry in their back garden, at their favourite restaurant, somewhere outdoors with someone like me - an independent celebrant.

And I completely get why.

There’s been loads of chat about possible new wedding laws and the freedom they could eventually give couples.

But they’re not here yet.

The proposals are still being consulted on. Nothing has changed in law. And even if the reforms go ahead, there’ll still likely be loads to sort out before independent celebrants could legally conduct marriages.

Which is all a bit annoying if you’re planning a wedding for next year.

Wedding planning already takes up enough headspace without adding more uncertainty around... do we book now, do we wait, will we regret any decisions we make now?

If you’re getting married in 2027, my advice would be to crack on. Plan using the system we have now.

If you want a celebrant-led ceremony because you want the freedom and flexibility to fully reflect the two of you, book your celebrant and do the legal paperwork separately.

If having one legally binding ceremony on the day is the most important thing to you, book your registrar.

And if the law somehow changes sooner than expected? Brilliant.

But I wouldn’t let something that is still being worked out derail the plans you’re making now.

And please still have your say on what you’d like weddings to look like in the future. The consultation is open until 24th September, you’ll find the link in my bio.

There’s a lot of pressure to write personal vows.

And for some people, that is lovely.

They get the words down exactly as they want them. They’re excited to say them. They know they’ll probably cry, laugh, wobble a bit. And it will be fabulous.

For other people?
Utterly terrifying.

Saying something deeply personal in front of your closest friends and family can feel incredibly exposing.

You might hate speaking out loud.
You might be nervous about how your partner will react.
You might know exactly what you want to say, but not want 80 people hearing it.

That is completely fine.

You do not have to say personal vows during your ceremony.

You can say them the night before, just the two of you.

You can say them at your legal ceremony.

You can sneak off after the ceremony and say them privately.

You can send them in a letter on the morning of the wedding.

You can not do them at all.

Your ceremony does not become less personal because you have decided some words belong just to the two of you.

One of the least glamorous parts of being a celebrant?

Thinking about what could happen in your ceremony if things go sideways.

Microphones that stop working.
Dress zips that spectacularly fail.
Doors which slam shut leaving you trapped.
Injured doormice in danger of being squashed in the aisle.

The things nobody notices when everything is as it should be.

Until it’s not.

I’m not saying things will turn to chaos, but if it does, a celebrant is a good person to have in the room.

We always have a backup plan, and a backup for the backup.

Oh and a bag full of everything you could possibly need that would make Mary Poppins green with envy. 🪴🪞🥄

Did you set out thinking, “Let’s keep this simple.”

And before you know it, your second wedding has become anything but.

It’s something I hear over and over again. Once you’re on the complicated bus, it can be surprisingly hard to get off.

Give the simple thing a go.

It has a funny way of cutting through the noise and reminding you what will still matter in ten years’ time.

I’d wager your ceremony ends up right at the top of the list.

Because that’s the bit that explains to everyone what this marriage means to you both.

If that’s where your head ends up too, don’t settle for a ceremony that just gets you married.

Find someone who’ll take the time to understand you properly and create a ceremony that reflects exactly who you are now.

You’ll find a ceremony does the heavy lifting. And once that feels right, everything else becomes a lot simpler.

The thought that this wedding could feel like your last one is real.

It’s a horrible thought. And something that can keep you awake at night when you should be loving planning your wedding and thinking about what this relationship means to you both.

A wedding ceremony can really do all the heavy lifting when it comes to showing the people around you what this means.

And no one wants a formulaic ceremony that could almost be the same as your first one, just with different names.

My advice?

Find a celebrant. One who really understands what this means to you both, then creates a ceremony that helps everyone else understand it too.

If you do that, I guarantee it will not feel like the first.
