I really don't see how I can put my position any more clearly.

Listing what makes a ceremony legal, and what are legal requirements to a ceremony are two different things. It doesn't help matters at all because as we both know you posted information that shows marriage is legalised with NO ceremony.
I'm asking if you can personally post what YOU regard as necessary components in a ceremony.
Why is this so hard. No-one is doing it. Everyone is happy to post that they'd like two ceremonies, but aren't able to tell me the difference.
For example Mouse, even under your proposal, there is nothing stopping me having a religious ceremony, and no civil one, and yet still being married by simply waiting a year.
This is why I need PERSONAL clarifications from contributors to this discussion.
(Ironically the spiritual "grafting" Jesus speaks of takes time, so in my mind it would take a good year to be fully spiritually married in any case.)
