[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Seriously, if nothing else I am surprised that there are such few attempts at being PC, even on an anonymous website. [/quote]

It's not about being "PC" or victimizing poor little atheists. The problem is, you haven't explained what this celebrant is supposed to do, therefore, we can't imagine why you would need one. Your goal for the celebrant seems to be to [u]add "formality" instead of the religious meaning in a religious ceremony. So from what we can tell, you want to get a free total stranger to introduce your baby to your family and friends [/u]-- but this seems totally unnecessary, when you could do a better job yourselves, because you know yourselves and your baby.

Seriously, you and your partner can do this way better yourselves. You know your baby and yourselves. A total stranger you've borrowed from the UUs for free doesn't know you and won't be able to take the time to know you. Having this total stranger say something like "let's all welcome baby Zoe and wish her the best for her future" just [u]seems plastic, and lame[/u], compared to what you and your partner could do. You claim your first baby's ceremony was "incredibly meaningful", but without details from you, it's unclear what your guests thought, and we on DCUM are still in the dark about what the celebrant's role actually was.
