Di was beautiful, shes an older lady with her husband that helps with set up and music. She got to know me and Ben so well through the few times we spoke to her and face timed with her. She made the most beautiful speech on the day. Highly recommend Di!

do you think celebrants would be up for flying to officiate a destination wedding?

would i have to pay for their flights accommodation food etc

Di Kleinert Blairgowrie

As your previous celebrants have reiterated most would love to travel to a new destination. The matter of cost would need to be clearly noted so that all are aware of the expenses, and who would be responsible for the booking of accommodation and flights/vehicle costs if driving.

As Australian celebrants are not authorised to perform overseas however if your destination is OS, and... you did have a celebrant in mind you could be married legally in Australia by your celebrant of choice. This need not be a lavish affair and then have your celebration ceremony overseas. You may even have your celebrant write the ceremony to be presented. Mindful this will all come at a cost to you.

Best wishes

how can i make my elopement special?

Di Kleinert Blairgowrie

Oh, this is an easy question to answer. By eloping, you are "there in the moment" just for each other. Be aware You do need two witnesses over the age of 18, as well... family! Are you including them, if not maybe arrange a dinner party on your return. Parents only want the best for their children and hopefully, they will respect your decision to elope. Not knowing your circumstances there may be other issues at play. Just be true to your feelings.

Choose a destination that holds special memories for you both.
Frock up, it is your wedding day, just because you are not having a huge affair there is no reason not be glam.
Write the most beautiful Vows to each other, keeping them a secret until the day. (your celebrant will help if you are not confident doing this)
Celebrate in style, dinner with a view may be? or, high on a mountaintop. So many decisions for you.
Choose a celebrant that can help you plan your ceremony in the manner that you have envisaged.
From personal experience, I know what this scenario is like, and it all depends on many factions at play... be true to yourselves. Have a beautiful day (just the way you want it to be)

Please feel free to call and discuss, love to chat.

How should I let a friend know that she's not included in my bridal party?

We haven't been close for years but she has only a few other friends and had an expectation that she would be included as a bridesmaid. She found out through one of the bridesmaids that we had already gone looking for dresses, and she said she was devastated because she wanted to come (although we had never talked about it!). We are having a super intimate wedding and only inviting our family and closest friends - everyone else seems to have picked up on it but I'm so worried that she'll be hurt when she finds out she's not invited to the wedding itself! Your advice is appreciated!

This is not an uncommon dilemma, and when asked "what do I do" my reply would be to be honest! You know your friend, albeit a few years have passed since you were closer. Explain the situation.. small.. intimate... budget to adhere to etc. Maybe ask her to come along to a girls afternoon tea party! drinks, with others that are not coming to the wedding. This way it will include all others that as you say have picked up on the situation. Explaining face to face you will be able judge her reaction, however it will also let your friend know that you care enough to talk the issue through. Best wishes, enjoy your wedding day, remembering after all it is your day!
