A Commitment Ceremony
A commitment ceremony is, or can be, very similar to a wedding. Rather than a legally binding ceremony, a commitment is a public affirmation of the individuals commitment to one another and can be used to formally acknowledge and celebrate a polyamorous union ie. an intimate relationship with more than one partner, with the informed consent of all partners involved. The legal requirements of providing witnesses, proof of identity and proof of the termination of a previous marriage do not apply.
