commitment ceremonies

I wish for a world where all love is accepted and every human being is given the right to love.  I wish for a world where love has no boundaries and people are tolerant of others.  I wish for a world where every family is embraced.  Every partnership given a chance.  I wish for a world where judgement is not so harsh and prejudice is diminished.  I wish for a world where every loving couple is treated with respect and no true love is shamed.  

We are at a time when the performing of a commitment ceremony for a same sex couple is a must.   It is a must for the children of a same sex couple, and for the couple and for our future.    In truth a commitment ceremony is larger than a legalized uniting. Because it is not just about uniting two lives in love, It is also about standing up and against a society that shames that love.  It is about allowing that love to shine.  It is about tolerance and acceptance. It is recognizing that the love between a same sex couple is just as real, just as deep, and just as devoted as the love between a man and a women.  It is about allowing people to be who they are, to live the life that is true to them and to be true to the world around them.  A commitment ceremony embraces all love, it moves us forward, it keeps us grounded, it forces us to grow.
