Last weekend I went to some friends' wedding at a public park in Northampton. The groom is a Jewish atheist who's very serious about both the Jewish part and the atheist part and the bride is a mostly-lapsed Catholic who I believe is now some sort of religious naturalist. The ceremony included elements of Jewish weddings--including some of the religious aspects, reframed as simply cultural--and also personalized secular elements, mostly playful riffs on the couple's geeky interests and socialist politics. I don't know if that would be considered a humanist wedding in the sense that this thread is discussing, but I thought it was a really nice way to make an event of it rather than just doing the legal aspect pro forma.
