A Simple Celebration - Kathryn Drew
A rehearsal is typically personal choice for couples. If they've been to their ceremony venue previously as guests at another wedding, I find they often don't want a rehearsal. Furthermore if their venue is not local to them, some couples and all the wedding party don't have the time and/or availability to travel to it for a rehearsal. My preparation is quite thorough, so many couples these days don't feel the need to add in a rehearsal. However, many couples still do feel more comfortable with a rehearsal and the practice is still common.
Can a wedding service be done in two languages?
My partner and I are from different backgrounds. He's European and I'm from Australia. Are we able to get our ceremony done in both languages?
A Simple Celebration - Kathryn Drew
Yes, and it's lovely to hear! The celebrant does not need to speak the language, you can have a translator or guest translating. The celebrant will say the official legal wording in English and the couple need to say their official wording in English, and as long as both of the couple have a clear understanding of what's being said, all is fine. Xx
Can I have a friend as my celebrant
What are the logistics of having a friend be your celebrant, whilst getting an official celebrant to organise the legal side of things? We want to do the legals on the day so we don't have to get officially married before/after our wedding day. Is this a service that many celebrants offer? Ideally also with guidance for the friend who has never done this before
A Simple Celebration - Kathryn Drew
Yes, your friend can co-officiate. You do need a registered celebrant to perform the legal vows and monitum, which is only a few minutes, and can be easily interwoven into the ceremony. Your friend can simply call upon the celebrant to come forward to say these few words then your friend continues. This is how I do it and it's a fabulous way to include someone very special on your wedding day.
