It's just we haven't had anything alternative to faith-approved marriage outside that one. It's so nice that the ceremony is finally here! ^_^ I heard that they're looking for new celebrants, maybe I should try? ;) Hey, actually, one can get married outside the church in Poland (civil marrige), so we’re not totally medieval :D You just go to the registry ;) You can ask to remove any religious refrence in the vow, because it’s there, unfortunately.

This rocks. I'm happy to see such an event in the land of my heritage! Poles are religious by and large, but well educated. This encourages me, and makes me smile! I'll have to make some connections over there for further secular unity :) Wspania?y! This rocks. I’m happy to see such an event in the land of my heritage!

Of course here in the states you don't need any religious involvement whatsoever to get married. My wife and I went to Hawaii to get married. We merely filled out the application, found a non-religious officiant and viola, we're married. And a lot of states have statutes that allow anyone to become an officiant for a short period of time in order to conduct a ceremony. Hell, you can usually just make an appointment to get married at city hall if you don't need any type of ceremony. I'm guessing maybe it doesn't work this way in Poland?

It was off the stip, outdoors, beautiful, and not one mention of god in the ceremony, it was perfect. We did the Vegas wedding.

We're just planning our wedding at the moment, fortunately Humanist ceremonies are legally recognised in Scotland (not so over the border in England) and you can get married more or less anywhere. Actually we should really get a celebrant booked as they are becoming more and more popular. Congratulations to the happy couple!

It seems likely we will be seeing more of these weddings soon enough. My friend from Poland told me that it seems that very few young people in Poland are actually religious.
