Commitment ceremonies are alternative celebrations for couples who are already married, cannot, or do not wish to legally marry.  

WHY WOULD SOMEONE CHOOSE TO HAVE A COMMITMENT CEREMONY?

• Couples who cannot get married by law.
• Couples who don't want to be legally married.
• Couples inconvenienced by getting legally married.

The officiant must perform marriages in the State of Florida. The Couple can be anywhere via online. The couple do not need to be present in the State of Florida. 

Here are some of the basic requirements for getting a marriage license in Florida:

• Both parties (spouse 1 and spouse 2) must be age 18 or over and must apply in person at the same time.

• Two forms of identification are required:

(1) A valid photo identification issued by the federal or state government. The photo identification must have the correct legal name, date of birth and signature of the applicant. The following valid proofs of photo identifications are accepted:

— Driver's license (U.S. state or government)

— Passport

— U.S. military identification

— State identification card (U.S. state or government)

— Alien registration card

(2) A second form of identification is required if the applicant has been issued a U.S. Social Security number. In accordance with Florida State Statute, any person who has been issued a Social Security number will need to provide that number. Any person who is not a citizen of the U.S. may provide either a Social Security number or an alien registration number, if one has been issued. If neither has been issued, another form of identification may be required.

• If 16 or 17 years of age, both parents must sign and have notarized a Certificate of Consent for Marriage. If under 16 years a court order must be obtained. The exception is a minor who has been married before, as they are considered an adult.

• No blood tests are required.

• You do not need to be a Florida resident to obtain a marriage license. Marriage licenses can be obtained in any Florida county for use anywhere in the state within 60 days of the date of issue.

• By law, the Family Law Handbook must be read before you get a marriage license.

• If either applicant has been previously married, the exact date of the last divorce, annulment or death or must be provided.

• The marriage license is good for 60 days from the effective date and can be used anywhere in the State of Florida, however, there is a 3 day waiting period if both parties are Florida residents and have not taken an approved marriage class. (If you are not a Florida resident, there is not a 3 day waiting period.) The cost of the license is generally $86. If the couple has attended an approved marriage counseling class the price is reduced to $61.00. 

Get your marriage off to the great start it deserves. Invest in your relationship and create a love that will stand the test of time.

SELF ASSESSMENT

1. What does marriage mean to you?
   

2. What is your reason for getting married?

3. What do you appreciate most about your partner and your relationship?
4. Do you think your relationship will change after you are married?
5. Are you on the same page about having children?
6. How will you handle your relationships with your families?
7. What does spirituality mean to you?
8. What does sex and intimacy mean for both of you?
9. How do you look at spending versus saving?
10. How are you going to handle your finances (Together or Separately)?
11. How will you resolve future conflicts?

VALUABLE DISCUSSION(S):

PERSONAL HABITS

• If you have not lived with your partner before marriage, sharing a home can be surprising. Sometimes it's the seemingly insignificant things that can get under your skin and cause bigger problems than expected.

SPIRITUAL BELIEFS

• While religion and spiritual beliefs may be taboo topics for polite society, they can play a big role in your marriage.

FINANCES

• Money can cause a lot of stress in a family and are one of the leading causes of divorce. You don't necessarily have to agree to everything, and maybe one of you is better at certain aspects of it than others. As a partnership, dealing with your financial future together and understanding short-and long-team goals is a wise more.

CHILDREN

• Not every couple wants to have kids, but it's a good idea to keep an open dialogue about it.

FAMILY

• Every family is different, so understanding how your future spouse grew up and their relationship with parents and siblings today will be very helpful. After all, you are marrying into a new family, so it's best to try and understand them.

SEX AND INTIMACY

• No relationship can survive on sex alone, and intimacy is just as important. While you might think you know a lot about your partner's views on either, it's wise to have a serious conversation about it before marriage.

THE KEYS TO A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE

1. Communicate clearly and often.
2. Tell your spouse that you're thankful for having him or her in your life.
3. Make time for you two as a couple.
4. Plan for some personal time.
5. Understand that it's OK to disagree.
6. Build trust.
7. Learn to forgive.

For the State of Florida, witnesses is not required for marriage; marriage license.
