We can do this... we just need to be creative and flexible. With the latest relaxation of the Covid-19 rules, weddings are going forward... with a little different format. Social distancing applies, gathering limits are growing larger, and there is a little more documentation needing attention. All in all, a good sign as South Australia has been doing a great job of staying ahead of the virus.
Marriage... this is a very person thing between two people. Sharing it may be difficult during the COVID-19 Rules period of isolation. Be it is STILL about the two of you. What can we do to celebrate the two of you now... and the whole family, friends, and loved ones at a later date? The 'lock down' will not last and my calendar is still very flexible.
After living 35 years in Alaska and being asked to help perform a couple of bush weddings for friends in the ‘Alaskan Out Back’, I realized I have a strong belief in the celebrations of life.
In this increasingly crazy world we live in, when someone can find their soulmate, this is the beginning of something very special.
As a storyteller from a young age, I also love to express feelings, passions, and life with words. Every couple has a unique and wonderful story to tell.
I would love to help you start a new chapter in your story.

The associated photo is me speaking recently at an open air meeting. Through the years, I've had quite a bit of experience speaking publicly as an educator, orator, and prelate to name a few. I believe in the institution of marriage, and as a writer, believe with a little work together, your wedding day can be made even more special. It is my hope that I can do that with you. I'll be posting an audio/video of a little public speaking soon so you can see (and hear) what you think. Thank you!

Good afternoon! A pet in a ceremony. The easy answer is 'YES'! But that begs more questions. What kind of pet? Big? Small? Is it trained in any way? It's easy to have them bring in the rings during the ring ceremony. They can be present in many ways around the ceremony. Trained to bark on command? Bark like crazy when asked if he thinks the couple should be married. Trained to stand up? Dance? Have him dance in little circles. Big dog? Have him 'dragging' the bride to the groom. So many things you can do. Use your imagination. A good celebrant will find ways to make your ceremony the best it can be, especially when you wish to have... unusual... inclusions. :)
