OVERVIEW
Family is our most important social unit and I believe marriage is the foundation for this. Marriage shows a binding commitment and should be recognised with a special ceremony. You show your family and friends that you not only love each other but you plan to spend the rest of your lives together.
I am a history teacher and became a marriage celebrant because two of my friends and work colleagues wanted someone they knew to marry them. A high point of the wedding ceremony was the story I was able to create about the couple which I tried to make as humorous as possible. Maybe the kissing of the Blarney stone during a holiday to Ireland had something to do with this!
I will provide you with a ceremony that suits your tastes and lifestyle. My job is to guide you through the process. I take care of all the legal matters and I can help with your order of ceremony, your vows, rituals, and poetry, readings and songs.
You can call or email me for a no-obligation inquiry. I would be honoured to help you create your special day.
One of my most recent adventure was at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Liverpool where I officiated at 3 drive- through ceremonies on 14/2/2023 St Valentine's Day. The first was a wedding, televised live on Channel 7's Sunrise and also 2 vow renewals.
About
In May 2016 I completed my training to become a marriage celebrant. This followed from a request by two colleagues ( one of whom was also an ex-student) that they wanted someone they knew well to officiate at their marriage. I am also an experienced Head Teacher - HSIE with a demonstrated history of working in the education management industry. Skilled in Years 7-12 History and English education, literacy, staff development, educational leadership, and classroom management.

Will our wedding date be off now officially and we'll have to have it dated after our actual wedding which is in two weeks?
Crowley The Celebrant
How would this have happened? Surely your celebrant would have been on top of this. You need to have the witnessed NOIM to a celebrant at least one month before your ceremony date. You could apply for a shortening of time. If this fails you could have a commitment ceremony and do the wedding at a later date.
Can my vows be funny?
Crowley The Celebrant
You need to include a sentence ( legal requirement) that says something along these lines, " I call upon the persons here present to witness that I, ................, take you, ..........., to be my legally wedded wife/spouse/partner from this time onward."
Other that that you can include whatever you want - serious, romantic, funny...or a mixture of all these.
