I think as long as you are true to yourselves in the ceremony....it really wont matter where it takes place, or who says the words everyone else hears. It is the words you say to each other that will be remembered, and hold weight.

Right on.
So many marriages begin under the auspices of a religious ceremony and then fall apart. Makes me think the deal between the two people getting married is the most important concept here. And if you are spiritual but not religious I don't see how having a religious ceremony in important.
I think we often lose touch with what is important for what some of society makes us think is important. It's called marketing.
