Ceremonies
The rules of the ceremony that I use for your wedding go like this: THERE ARE NO RULES!
I promise to work together with you to develop a ceremony that will not only meet your needs but one that will be meaningful and memorable to your invited guests and family.
At our initial meeting, one of the things we will discuss is what you are looking for in a ceremony. For example, If you tell me that you do not want any religious content in your ceremony I would recommend my Civil Ceremonies that are based on love and commitment only. You may choose one of these ceremonies, mix and match portions from different ceremonies or simply write your own. As your Officiant, I do believe in the importance of making vows and promises to each other so I will guide you along the way to ensure that element of your ceremony is upheld.
Marriage License Application
A marriage license is a mandatory legal document that authorizes you to get married in Ontario. In Oshawa, you can obtain one from Service Oshawa at City Hall. It costs $150 and remains valid for 90 days from the date of issue.
Private Wedding Officiants
A private wedding, or a confidential wedding, is one that is performed without any guests or public attention. This type of wedding is attended only by the couple, the officiant, and if you prefer, a photographer. If you opt for a private wedding, you will still need two witnesses
Previous Marriages
If you were previously married and the divorce was granted by a Canadian court, the original or a court-certified copy of one of the following three documents must be submitted: Certificate of Divorce, Final Decree or Final Judgement. A copy of the listed documents can be obtained from the court house where the divorce was granted.
Widowers
If you are a widower or a widow, you do not need to provide a death certificate of your departed spouse.
