Commitment ceremony, also known as engagement ceremony, is simply an event when a couple pronounces their commitment for togetherness, from their deepest heart and with their own words, in front of family, friends, and other attendees.
This is a choice for those who want a kind of pre-marriage commitment, or those who want to express their commitment, but for some reasons do not want to get bound into a legal marriage. Among reasons could be different religion, different lifestyle, family objection, and many others.
Some beliefs that commitment of togetherness has nothing to do with official paperwork form either religion or government, and therefore willingly choose commitment as a more pure and honest way than official marriage.
Your commitment pronounced in a ceremony in Bali is blessed by good spirits. Together you light one candle from two smaller candles as you acknowledge your union. By allowing the flame of the two smaller candles to remain lit, you also accept the individuality of each other as a mean complementary fulfilling to each other’s.
