The Founder
The why.
A note from the founder, on what was missing and why Bonded had to exist.
In her own words
I'm Rachel. And I built Bonded Ceremony because I noticed something missing, and once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it.
Right now, the world gives you two options. Boyfriend and girlfriend. Or husband and wife. But there's this vast, valid territory of love and commitment that sits entirely on its own terms, and nobody has built anything for it. Let alone celebrated it.
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'm not anti-marriage, anti-religion, or anti-government, not even a little bit. Those paths are meaningful and valid and wonderful for so many people.
But they weren't the right path for me. Not again.
Because I fell in love. And I wanted to commit. And when I went looking for something that reflected that, something real, and mine, and ours, it just didn't exist.
So I built it.
Bonded is really just this: I choose you, and you choose me.
That's the whole thing. Declared however you want, publicly or privately, with a room full of people or just the two of you, and held forever in the registry in Auckland, New Zealand.

On the rings.
On the rings, I have a range available, not because you need one, but because I wanted something beautiful at a genuinely fair price. I've deliberately stripped out what I call the "marriage markup," so they sit below average retail. They're just a lovely option if you want something to wear that marks the moment.
More than anything, I want Bonded to feel cool, contemporary, and genuinely meaningful. A modern way to say I'm in without all the noise that can sometimes come with it.
