The "not to marry" ceremony was held as part of the annual grape harvest celebration in the presence of the mayor of the 18th arrondissement of Paris. At the end of one of these ceremonies, Eric Levonder, the mayor of this area, said to the couple: "I declare that you are officially single and engaged forever." Participants celebrated the symbolic vows of "not to marry" with special clothes and hair ornaments. A woman chose her dog as her constant companion in happiness. 76-year-old Dominic and 80-year-old Michelle, who have been living together for six years, were among the participants of this ceremony. Pointing out that his partner has already been divorced twice, Dominic said he does not intend to be his "third" wife and that marriage is not in their plans at the moment.
