A legal marriage is the joining of two people in matrimony by a person qualified by law to perform the ceremony (a minister, priest, judge, justice of the peace or some similar official), after the couple has obtained a valid marriage license, issued in the State of Nevada, and presented that upon their arrival to the Chapel for their ceremony. A commitment ceremony is a ceremony in which a couple publicly declare their commitment to each other without getting legally married. Chapel of the Flowers welcomes both legal marriages and commitment ceremonies. If participating in a commitment ceremony, you will be asked to sign a waiver stating you understand that the commitment is not recognized by the government and thus not legally binding.
