Why do humanists get married?
A humanist wedding is a non-religious wedding ceremony that gives couples the opportunity to marry where they want, when they want, and how they want. Humanist weddings don’t have a set script and each wedding is unique, with couples able to set the tone that’s right for them, choosing their own words and music.
