Other Civil Ceremonies
The possibilities are endless
Taking vows: James and Laura
Many Civil Celebrants in Australia are trained to conduct many different ceremonial events, not just weddings! (see Diploma in General Celebrancy). These celebrants have undertaken courses of study in many ceremonial events. Any event that has some emotional or other significance to a person can, and should be, marked by a ceremony. Any event in your life that causes a strong emotion is worthy of a ritual or celebration.
Here is a list of significant or milestone events in one’s life which can be marked with a ritual or special celebration:
- Birth
- Naming/Baptism
- First Day of School or Kindergarten
- Graduation (transition from a primary to a secondary school, then to University or College).
- Significant Birthdays
- Engagement
- Wedding
- Commitment
- Same Sex Commitment
- First House
- Moving House
- Death of a special pet
- Reaffirmation of Vows (can be made at any time, typically at 5 year intervals)
- Divorce
- Change of Career
- Menopause
- Retirement

Honour these significant times in your life, they are milestones on your life journey and the subject of your story!
