Wow, thank you for such beautiful words Nikki. You were a fantastic couple to work with from day one. I love hearing all about your lovely plans for your wedding day. We had a fun rehearsal, everything was ready. Then on the morning of your wedding it was all clouded over and brisk. Then just before your wedding the clouds blew away and the sun came out to see you get married in front of your friends and family. Nikki you looked sensational in that dress and veil. Your husband teared up the minute you all started coming down the aisle. Perfect day, glad to be a part of it. Happy future awaits!!

Get Expert AdviceI am a terrible public speaker. How can I get ready for my wedding ceremony?
Hi there. Was hoping for some advice on how to tackle ceremony nerves so I can get through my vows. I really want to write my own vows but have always been terrible at speaking in front of crowds. What can I do ahead of time and on the day?
Barbara Beames Friendly Celebrant
What you can do ahead of time is write your vows out on a card and say them out loud in front of the mirror. Do this often so you get used to the sound of your own voice. Then have a practise with your family or friends.
A good celebrant with have your vows also written into her service so if you are unable to say them (which has happened) because you might become overwhelmed with emotion she will be able to say them for you.
Also a good celebrant will give you a couple of seconds to compose yourself if this happens.
That is a brave thing to do and I commend you doing and reading out your own vows.
At my wedding I couldn't do that as I was so nervous I was glad to follow the celebrant.
See how you go on the day, don't stress too much as your celebrant should be ready and comforting for you should you be unable to do so.
Good luck and have a great wedding

There are many ways of doing this, ask the question and she how the answer fits with you both, congratulations on getting married, Barbara Beames Wedding Celebrant Berwick
How can I tell my sister her kids aren't invited to our wedding?
Hi there. We don't want to have kids at our wedding, but I also don't want to offend my sister. I adore my nieces but we want a particular vibe at our wedding. Any suggestions?
Barbara Beames Friendly Celebrant
Hi there, this is a good quetion and a bit of a tricky one.
You say that you dont't want kids at your wedding and you don't want to offend your sister. And, you also say that you want a particular vibe at your wedding.
I have had this a lot lately, my couples want to go "retro wedding" like back to the future, what is old is new again. By this I mean that a lot of my couples want to take a couple of things back that worked really well in the past.
One of the most popular new but old trends are that the guests are encouraged to be present totally at the wedding service so they can experience the words of the wedding as well as the beautiful sights they will see. So, they are encouraged to turn their mobile phones off or on silent.
This way they are totally present watching a lovely couple make a beautiful commitment to each other, right in front of them.
This works extremely well. They embrace it totally and at end of the service at the signing they are welcomed up to take as many photo's that they wish to.
Similiarly, years ago there were no children at a wedding ceremony. This was for a number of reasons but mostly it was so the guests once again can be totally present at the wedding and the reception. THey can experience the joy of the couple getting married and the reception with them. Barbara 0402065819 MELB.

Thank you, Stacey, for that lovely review. Your wedding was amazing, and your wedding gown was just stunning it was so elegant and just right for you. It was a lovely wedding at the Golf Club. I have never done a rehearsal before where golf balls went wizzing past us on the green. A lot of fun. The weather held all afternoon, and it was just perfect! Happy life!
