I work closely with
couples to create a truly personal and memorable ceremony. I
will help you develop all the elements, from the opening introductions
to the exchange of rings and vows, and from poetry readings to
expressions of blessings. You will receive samples of beautiful
ceremonies from which you can start to form your own. Since 2001,
I have had the privilege of officiating at over 500 ceremonies
throughout Vermont. I would be honored to serve as your officiant. |

CIVIL MARRIAGE
Celebrate Your
Wedding
If you're in a committed same-sex relationship,
have your relationship legally recognized by celebrating a Wedding
in Vermont. In 2000, Vermont was the first state in the country
to provide same-sex couples all the legal benefits, rights and
responsibilities of marriage with civil unions. Beginning on
September 1, 2009, Vermont law was changed to provide Civil Marriage.
Vermont welcomes couples from all over the country and abroad.
The properties listed in this directory
are pleased and honored to provide you wedding services and accommodations.
Visit their sites for information on gay wedding packages.
Getting a civil
marriage license
Your innkeepers can help you through this
process, but here are the basic steps.
1. Apply for a civil marriage license at a Town
Clerk's office. Out of state couples
may apply in any town. There is no waiting period to apply, no
residency requirements, no blood tests, nor witnesses required.
Call ahead to make sure they'll be open and to learn what information
is required. The license costs $45 plus local fees and is good
for 60 days.
2. Contact a Justice of the Peace, judge or minister
if you don't already have one. Your
host at any of the Gay Vermont Inns will be able to assist you
in finding an officiant.
3. Hold the ceremony.
Whether you have a lavish event
with 200 people or a small, private ceremony for two, it's your
choice. The justice of the peace, judge, or clergy and your innkeeper
can work with you to make your ceremony truly special. After
the ceremony, the officiant has 10 days to file the certified
license with the Town Clerk. |
