Wedding or Commitment Ceremony

Wedding.

I am not inviting people to see Catie and I form a domestic partnership. This isn't a business agreement.

There is something terribly off sounding about the phrase commitment ceremony. It lacks the specific joy of joining two lives together, we could be committing to anything.

And this is not a civil union. It has nothing to do with the law.

This is a wedding.
