Hi There
I have just come across your inquiry and would like to offer you the following information.
You can certainly get married without a ceremony.
You need to have 5 people at the ceremony, yourselves, the celebrant and two witnesses over the age of 18 who can understand English.
There are certain legal pronouncements that HAVE to be said, according to the Marriage Act in order to be legally married. The Celebrant will say these words. Included are the basic simple vows stating your name and intention.
Formal Vows ( Must be said): I.......(name) call upon all present to witness that I take .....(name) to be my lawful husband/wife/married partner for life. ( That's it!)
The NOIM must be signed and handed to your celebrant at least ONE MONTH before your wedding date. The month starts when the Celebrant receives the NOIM.
The Celebrant must see your ORIGINAL documents ( not copies) of your ID, passports/and or birth certificates and death/ divorce papers. These can be scanned and sent by email, but the original copies must still be sighted by the celebrant before the wedding ceremony.
As close as possible to the actual wedding date, you need to sign a Statutory Declaration in which you state that there is no legal impediment to you getting married. This can be done right up to the start of the ceremony if there is no other suitable time to meet with your celebrant. Without the Stat Dec, the marriage cannot take place.
After the legal documents are signed, the celebrant will send these off to BDM on your behalf. Depending on the State, it may take a few weeks before your official marriage certificate is ready for collection from your BDM at a cost of about $50.
I hope this answers your question. All marriages are bound by law to follow and include these steps.
Good Luck with your planning, if you have not already "tied the knot".
Please contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.
