What do you think about a Commitment Ceremony for straight couples?

Since my "husband" and I aren't legally married for several reasons we are thinking of having a Commitment Ceremony to show our families and friends how serious we are. I've found a lot of information about it on line and think it's a great idea for us. He's as much a sentimental person as I am and we already started thinking about the vows we would like to say to each other. I've been reading that a lot of people don't get married for reasons very much like our own and have done this so if gays can do it why can't a straight couple do it right? What do you think about a Commitment Ceremony for straight couples? ******************************************************************** Commitment Ceremonies Commitment ceremonies mean many different things to different people. A commitment ceremony can look just like a wedding, complete with church, wedding gown, and hundreds of guests -- but no marriage license. Or, a commitment ceremony can be the most alternative event imaginable: a ritual to bless your relationship, or just a big party to celebrate your love. A commitment ceremony can be a huge bash with all your friends and relatives in attendance, an intimate exchange between you and your partner, or a family rite of passage to strengthen the bonds between parents and children in a new unmarried stepfamily. You can call it a commitment ceremony, a wedding, a ceremony of union, or anything else you like! http://www.unmarried.org/commitment-ceremonies.html
