About
Life experience has taught me that a sense of humor can overcome many tense situations and especially with nervous grooms. By taking a relaxed and flexible approach to ceremonies, I aim to make ceremonies a happy and positive experience for all those involved. My advice to the couple I have the honor to marry is to forget about their guests and focus on each other, and the reason they are standing with me, to begin a loving journey and maybe some new adventure with that special person.

Get Expert AdviceHow to choose bridesmaids?
I want to have bridesmaids at my wedding but I have no close girl friends or sisters that I am particularly close to. My daughter who will be 9 and my youngest sister (19) are all I have but neither live close by and neither are maid of honor material. What should I do?
When meeting with a celebrant am I supposed to know what readings I want already?
or do they usually offer suggestions and examples at the meeting? Is there anything else my partner and I should decide on first?
Laurel Donaldson Registered Celebrant
No my approach is to discuss your thoughts for your ceremony then give you time to think about exactly what you want and then you let me know what you want, some couples have definite ideas other dont so if you need ideas, samples etc or want me to prepare a personalised ceremony that how I proceed.

Hi Amanda
There are quite a number of marriages with no bridal party or I have officiated marriages where the `Maid of Honour' was a male friend of the bride and also bridal parties with an odd number of attendants.
Go with your `gut' and have whoever you are comfortable with, it could be an aunt, your daughter or sister. You dont have to give anyone the title of `Maid of Honour`.
The most important is that you and your soon to be husband are both comfortable with your bridal party.
Just relax and enjoy your day.
Laurel
