For those who do not want to or can not hold a formal civil or religious wedding with all the legal paperwork, a blessing may represent a beautiful alternative. It is often very similar to many other kinds of weddings, the difference being that it is not legally binding. As it is more symbolic, no paperwork is required and there are no restrictions on the locations.
