The Founder

The why.

A note from the founder, on what was missing and why Bonded had to exist.

Portrait of the founder of Bonded Ceremony

In her own words

It's called Bonded Ceremony, and it came from something I noticed that's been missing in the world.

Right now, you can be boyfriend and girlfriend, or you can be husband and wife. But there's this whole space in between, and beyond, that no one has really named or celebrated.

I've been married twice. Ten years to a man. Seven years to a woman. Both built on real love, for all the right reasons. I loved them both deeply. And I didn't want to get married again.

But I fell in love. I wanted to commit. And I realized there was nothing that really existed for people like me. So I built it.

Bonded is simply this. I choose you, and you choose me.

That's it. And you get to declare that publicly or privately, on your own terms.

The whole thing is three simple steps

  1. 01

    Choose to bond

  2. 02

    Seal the bond

  3. 03

    Upload. Held on a permanent record. Public or private. Yours to keep forever.

On the rings.

I also have a range of rings available. Not because you have to choose one, but because I wanted to offer something beautiful at a fair price. I've deliberately taken out what I call the "marriage markup," so they sit below average retail. They're just a nice option if people want a symbol to go with the moment.

Most of all, I want Bonded to feel cool, contemporary, and genuinely meaningful. A beautiful, modern way to commit to someone you love, without the noise that usually comes with it.
