What happens at a civil partnership ceremony?
The ceremony is a very personal event, and can be written to suit your specific requirements. You can have a consultation with the registrar who is going to conduct the ceremony to discuss your wishes. However, the civil partnership registration and ceremony are civil processes and so there cannot be anythingreligious in the wording. Just as with a marriage you do not have to have a ceremony if you do not want to but you must attend a register office and sign the register of births, deaths and marriages with two witnesses. You can simply sign the paper work and leave.
