Sunrise wedding

Hi guys

There is nothing nicer in this whole wide world then seeing the sunrise BUT sometimes due to weather conditions it doesn't happen! My sunrise wedding at Port Stephens on Dutchmans beach last Sunday week was one of those occasions.It was overcast and the sky looked angry.
Never the less my Bride and Groom shone brightly. He had tears of happiness in his eyes when she walked down the aisle. All the guests applauded and welcomed the happy couple. This ceremony was all about ritual and bright colours and the love of the beach and friends and family so it didn't matter that we didn't see the sun rise, we saw a beautiful couple unite as one through ritual and beautiful words spoken.
I will never forget this sun rise wedding especially since I had to get out of bed at 2.30am in the morning... hey it was all worth it!

take care
warm regards

All things weddings and other stuff!

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....
