| | Non-traditional ceremonies may combine religious ceremonial elements with secular material; some interfaith couples use elements from both of their traditions in one ceremony, or have two clergypersons conduct the ceremony simultaneously. | | | The term "non-religious" can mean many things in relation to weddings; it can mean a ceremony that's spiritual in tone but not beholden to any specific religion's ideas or texts, or it can mean a ceremony with a humanist or romantic emphasis without references to spirituality. | | | Couples choose elopement ceremonies if they desire to share the moment of their vows only with each other, if they wish to enjoy a stress-free and romantic private ceremony before their public wedding, or they have reasons to conceal their marriage. |

| | Once the proaulia arrived, a ceremony and feast would be held at the house of the bride's father. | | | The wedding ceremony's focus on the bride's passage to marriage and her sexual initiation is apparent in the rites performed on the proaulia, and it will continue to become clarified during the following two days. | | | In human weddings, the couple is made to parallel the divine couple, as in religious ceremonies, with comparisons voiced in songs and their quasi-divine images on vases. |

| | The designated ceremonial leader should open the ceremony with a prayer acknowledging “The Great Mystery,” giving gratitude to that ONE who answers to all names. | | | For example, you might use it as part of the actual ceremony, or participants might place a object for blessing on the altar beforehand. | | | At this point we end the ritual, but not the Ceremony, by saying: “The Circle is open, but never broken,” grounding the changes and releasing the energies of our Divine Selves into the field of Creation. |
