Introduced in Italy in 2002, the symbolic rite was already practiced in a lot of non-Catholic countries of northern Europe (United Kingdom, Holland and Scandinavian countries).
It reflects the perfect choice for the spouses who want to confirm their union of love in front of their beloved ones and are often held in fabulous locations. Sometimes, whoever chooses this kind of service is already legally married and just wants to re-experience their big day in an outstanding scenario.
A symbolic ceremony is very personal and bespoke, designed uniquely for that bride and groom. It tells the guests about their love story and includes meaningful moments such as the reading of personal vows and the signing of the marriage certificate.
These celebrations, since have neither legal value nor are authorized by the Church, don’t have to follow any particular rule and the couple is free to tailor its structure according to their values and beliefs.
