Wayne Rees - Civil Marriage Celebrant
Some celebrants do not feel comfortable getting dressed up and being a "character" for a wedding. For me, being an ex-professional actor, its easy. I have an assortment of costumes in my wardrobe, and I'm married to a costume designer and maker. I always ask my couples what they want me to wear. As long as I'm wearing something. If a couple want a special costume I don't have, they usually arrange to get it for me.
