Amanda shares a unique wedding scenario where she conducted a non-legal commitment ceremony for a couple who were still married to other people. Let's explore the ethics and practicalities of commitment ceremonies versus legal marriages, unpacking various reasons couples might choose this path.
• Couples requested a budget ceremony on the opposite side of Pennsylvania
• They revealed they wanted a non-legal commitment ceremony via Zoom
• Both individuals were still legally married to other people but in the divorce process
• Amanda carefully explained the non-binding nature of the ceremony
• Commitment ceremonies serve many purposes beyond cases like these
• Financial considerations often drive decisions about legal marriage
• Immigration status can prevent couples from legally marrying
• Amanda conducted the ceremony via Zoom as they stood by a lake with candles
• The podcast theme "We listen and we don't judge" guided the approach
