A commitment ceremony is usually a non-formal, public declaration of a couple’s life-long dedication to one another. This kind of ceremony is usually conducted when a couple aren't able to get married legally, too often the case for many same sex couples around the world. Leni and Brendy compare commitment ceremonies to legal weddings, discuss how LGBT+ people conceptualise commitment and plan their dream ceremonies.
