In the name of religious liberty, the Quakers serve as an excellent "example".
Here's a non-Quaker couple's story. They are liberty minded conservatives:

Here's an ebook on Sovereign Christian Marriage (Non-Quaker):

Here's an article by a conservative independent pastor:

And many churches call these "commitment ceremonies", here's an example of one of these:

I could post many, many, more non-Quaker examples of this practice. But you get the point. It's not strictly a Quaker thing. However, the Quakers have been doing it the longest.
