The Renaissance was a turning point in history, where everything improved and people’s opinion and ideas change. An idea where people decide to take action instead of not doing anything. It also is when people become who they truly are and live their lives to the fullest.

The Renaissance was the rebirth in art, writing, learning, architecture, and culture and it began in Northern Italy because Italy had 3 distinct advantages (City states, Merchants and the Medici, and classical heritage of Greece and Rome.) What spurred by the Crusaders that led to growth of Large city states. Trade.

The 3 cities that were notable for its achievements were Florence, Venice and Milan.

Humanism introduced a program to revive the cultural—and particularly the literary—legacy and moral philosophy of classical antiquity. The movement was largely founded on the ideals of Italian scholar and poet Francesco Petrarca, which were often centered around humanity’s potential for achievement.

At present, therefore, humanist marriage ceremonies do not have legal force and the parties must have an additional ceremony (for example, at a register office) for the marriage to be legally valid. Humanists UK has campaigned for the law to be changed to allow humanist celebrants to conduct legal marriages.

Currently, humanist ceremonies are not recognised in law, so couples must also have a civil ceremony. Humanist weddings are non-religious ceremonies which are conducted by a humanist celebrant. Currently in England and Wales, non-religious weddings are only legal if they are carried out by a registrar.

A humanist ceremony can take place anywhere; on a beach, in the woods, in your parent’s house, in a castle, be it a private or a public area, indoors or outdoors. Humanist weddings can follow a typical format or something different, it is completely the decision of the wedding party.
