The New Wedding Revolution | Andrés Allemand Smaller | TEDxCarouge

Many couples cannot have a traditional wedding. Others want something more personal. Think outside the box! You are unique, make sure your ceremony is too. Celebrants like Andrés Allemand Smaller are inventing powerfully genuine ones. A new wedding revolution is underway. Andrés Allemand Smaller was born in Buenos Aires in 1968. He grew up in Puerto Rico, New York City and Geneva, where he is now based.

At the University of Geneva, he studied English and Spanish literature, with a special focus on emerging literature in former colonies and in migrant communities. Consequently, he studied journalism, was in charge of a monthly protestant magazine, became the United Nations correspondant of the daily Swiss newspaper "La Tribune de Genève" and eventually took on the responsibility of world news editor.

The son of a Protestant pastor, Andrés Allemand Smaller defines himself as an open-minded atheist. His loved ones are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Agnostic and Atheist. He followed a two-year seminar comparing Catholicism and Protestantism, and he explored Judaism, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism. In 2011, he trained as a secular wedding celebrant. From 2015 to 2017, he was the president of the Association of Professional Celebrants in French-speaking Switzerland.
