hey guys
I would like to wish everyone a very happy New Year, one that is filled with much happiness and memorable moments. 2012 for me has started in a joyous way. My diary is filling up with Weddings and Namings. I am also looking forward to my trip to Tamworth late January to once again experience the country music festival. My first visit was last year and loved every minute of my stay. If you love dancing, meeting new people and seeing some of the best country artists in Australia and also enjoy having a drink or two or three then go to Tamworth!
At this point I would just like to tell you about my last wedding for the year which was on New Years Eve at 4.30pm on the foreshore at Blue Bay. It was lovely. The weather was perfect and as the bride walked down the stairs and onto the beach and then the rock platform escorted by her father the sixteen guests milled around closer for the start of the ceremony. A memorial candle was lit in memory of the groom's father who had passed away. A ring warming before the exchange of rings and a unity sand ritual between the couple was also a special part of the ceremony but I think what made it very special was the couple's first dance.
It's not often that the couple dance together directly after the ceremony finishes, I have only had one other couple do the same thing and their dance was in a park at 11.30am in front of 30 guests. At their wedding as with this one the guests joined in as well which made me quite emotional. It was vey moving and one of those moments that I will always remember and I am sure the guests will as well.
I might have started a new trend. The bridal waltz at the ceremony and not later in the evening after dinner,speeches and cutting of the cake. You never know!
All my ceremonies are individual and warm and personal so what ever the couples want I make sure that I will not let them down by giving them a lovely professional crafted ceremony, one that they will remember and one that their family and friends will comment later on at how nice the ceremony was. That makes me a very happy Celebrant!
Once again guys I hope this year is a great year for every one. Time marches by so quickly so enjoy each day.
take care
warm regards

"Little Bag of Love"
hey guys,
A few weeks until Christmas and a few more weddings to officiate before the New Year. I have been so busy of late and I am very thankful as well for the opportunity to have met so many wonderful couples and in turn have referred me to their friends so I must be doing something right! I really love my chosen career as a Civil Marriage Celebrant.
I would now like to share with everyone something that one of my young clients gave as their Bombadierre. I loved it so much that I made up some and gave to my Celebrant Class of 2005 at our Xmas get together which was last Friday at Potters Brewery Resort at Nulkaba. The girls loved it! I also am making some "little bags of love" for my Line Dancing friends. Our party is next Wednesday. There will be some toe tapping done that day.
LITTLE BAG OF “LOVE”
contents
MARBLES- So when people say you’ve
lost them, you can show you haven’t.
5 CENTS- So you are never broke.
ERASER- To rub out all your mistakes.
SAFETY PINS- To hold things together
when they are falling apart.
ELASTIC BAND- To stretch you
beyond your limits.
HEART- To let you know you are loved.
STAR- To wish on…………………………..
(just get a little organza bag & fill it with the above items and type and laminate all the above on card and then hole punch the top and secure the bag to the laminated card)
I love Christmas and I love the festiveness of it all. I love partying and dancing and having fun! So if I don't blog again until after Xmas that is what I will be doing.
Take care everyone and I wish each and everyone that reads this superb piece of literature a beautiful happy and wonderful Christmas and may your New year be filled with many happy days and wonderful moments.
Also if anyone needs a wonderful talented funny and beautiful and professional celebrant please contact me you will not be disappointed....
take care
warm regards

50th Wedding Anniversary
Hi guys
The weather has been wonderful the past couple of days. Let's hope that it stays that way for all of my celebrations over the weekend and of course for anyone that is celebrating a wedding, birthday or just having a picnic down by the lake. There is nothing nicer then to be out in the open and feeling alive! Not that we don't whilst we are inside but over the winter months we don't feel like getting out & about because it's too wet, cold & miserable. Make hast whilst the sun shines! That's what I say.
I was privileged to be invited to a 50th anniversary dinner last Monday night. The couple are on my bingo table and are always together and the past years have been spending most of their time going on cruises together. John will be celebrating his 70th birthday in December so together with his family and friends will be having another wonderful night.
I wrote something for John & Norma which was very appropriate for them and I read it out that evening. I would like to share it with you now.
Fifty years together is a mountain
Congratulations John & Norma you’ve made it together through five decades, umpteenth thousand days, but well whose counting (18250) & in minutes (26,280,000)
Fifty years together is a mountain in which many of us would not wish to climb.
Each year your journey together has been represented by a different named anniversary.
The first represented Paper, the 7th year was Wool, and the13th year was Lace. Your 20th year represented China, your 21st was Brass, your 27th Sculpture and your 29th wedding anniversary represented New Furniture.
Your 39th was lace (again) but I am going to change it to BINGO!
Your 41st was land & your 42nd was real estate.
I think John & Norma are still celebrating their 43rd Anniversary as this year represents Travel!
Your 46th anniversary represents Poetry and your 50th Anniversary as we all know represents “GOLD”!
Back in the day, way back in the day in Medieval Germany a husband would crown his wife in either Silver for their 25th Wedding Anniversary or on their 50th he would crown her in a Gold wreath. This symbolises harmony!
Your love and your lives together
are as a beautiful sonnet from beginning to end
sweet notes, meaningful words that mean so much as the years pass by.
A half a century of life together
and that mountain ever so high splendid in it's form,
in it's shape and close to heaven,
Splendidly unmoved by passing storms.
To quote an old Chinese proverb
An inch of time is an inch of gold but you can’t buy that inch of time with an inch of gold
John & Norma your time together is worth every inch of gold and all of us here tonight are so glad that you are able to spend some inches of time with us.
Please raise your glasses and toast the couple that have climbed a mountain together
Happy 50th Anniversary kids!
John and Norma loved the special reading I did for them and now proudly have it in a frame for all to see. I was happy to be able to a part of their celebration and hopefully will be able to do something for their 60th Anniversary!
Take care
warm regards
