I will assist you in creating a wedding ceremony, that reflects the unique people that you are and help make your special day, extra special
My role is to assist you in creating a wedding ceremony that reflects the unique people that you are, and to help to make your special day ‘extra special’. This can be achieved by skilfully crafting a ceremony that is based on your personalities and backgrounds, encompassing your personal stories, music, poetry, and readings that are symbolic of your emotions, values and hopes, for your future life together.
In our initial meetings, we will chat about your personal stories; how you met and the subsequent development of your relationship. I also chat with each person separately to capture the different sides of the ‘same’ story! This introduction is usually the one thing that will set your wedding apart; it is often amazing how some seemingly basic information can be transformed into the most entertaining story about how some wonderful relationships came to be. I work with each of my clients to create a ceremony that is warm, engaging, appropriately light and humorous, but above all, distinctly unique to their relationship.

Firstly, I have no idea how long it has been since the question, as to whether anyone has an objection to the wedding proceeding, has been included in a marriage ceremony but, it would be a long time. In essense, because the question has no legal standing, it has no place in a legal marriage ceremony, for one basic reason: in Australia, when the marrying couple approach a celebrant, priest, rabbi etc. to perform their ceremony, they have to provide legal, documentary evidence, and sign a 'Declaration', that they are 'legally able to marry', when they sign the 'Notice of Intended Marriage' form (NOIM) and, if they have been married previously, again, they have to provide legal, documentary evidence as to how that marriage was terminated. Therefore, no-one has any 'legal' reason to question the Bride and Groom about their conjugal status, except the celebrant.
