What a beautiful way to spend an afternoon—officiating a heartfelt, intimate ceremony in the park just across the street from our home. Surrounded by a select group of their closest family and friends, they will share their vows, promising to cherish one another for a lifetime.
To add to the magic, the official announcement will follow as a delightful surprise for the wider community, a testament to their love that will soon be celebrated by all.

An interesting new trend. The newlyweds decorate their own cake before cutting. Do you think it will catch on?

This change to the Marriage Act is not a significant problem for us. We can even discuss this the day before the ceremony at your rehearsal. I just need to speak to you separately for a few minutes. Please call me at 0419 742 605 if you have any concerns.

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mothers in my life - my own mum, my daughter who is also a mum and to all my friends who are mothers. I would like to also send best wishes for a happy day to all those awesome women who may not be mothers themselves but have taken on the role for others. Bless you for your caring souls.
Have a great day everyone.

On this ANZAC Day, as we gather in remembrance and reflection, we pay tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of those who served and continue to serve our nation. Their courage, resilience, and unwavering commitment to defending freedom and democracy serve as an enduring reminder of the values we hold dear.

Today, as I reflect on the Dawn Service I attended, conducted entirely by the youth from the local primary school, I am deeply moved by their dedication and reverence. With their tender hearts and earnest spirits, these young minds are the custodians of our traditions, ensuring that the flame of remembrance continues to burn brightly in our hearts and minds.

In the face of recent global challenges and uncertainties, the spirit of the ANZACs resonates more profoundly than ever. It reminds us of the strength that emerges from unity, the resilience that arises from adversity, and the hope that springs eternal in the human heart.

As we commemorate the Gallipoli campaign, let us not only honour the memory of those who fought and fell but also recognize the vital role that the youth of today play in keeping our traditions alive. Their involvement and dedication embody the essence of the ANZAC spirit, inspiring us all to carry forward the legacy of courage, mateship, and sacrifice.

In the midst of turmoil and uncertainty, let us be guided by the enduring values exemplified by our community's youth. Let us draw strength from their commitment to honouring the past while embracing the future with hope and optimism.

On this ANZAC Day, may we honour the past, cherish the present, and entrust the future to the capable hands of our youth, who will continue to uphold the traditions that bind us together as a nation.

Lest we forget.

Wahoo! It's St. Patrick's Day, my friends and family! 🍻Let's get ready to party! May the luck of the Irish shine down on you today, bringing a sparkle to your eye, a jig to your step, and a smile to your face.

Picture your upcoming wedding day ... are you feeling overwhelmed by the thought of the planning involved? You could just take the easy way out and have a simple and intimate ceremony in a beautiful location with your partner and a couple of witnesses. Plus, it's a great excuse to avoid inviting the in-laws! Just kidding, of course (kinda). But seriously, this stress-free option allows you to focus on what's truly important - your love for each other. So, let's ditch the stress and celebrate your happily ever after in style.
After the ceremony is over and you have had a few days (or longer) to enjoy being married, you can throw a party and announce to everyone that you are married. Done and dusted 🥰

On the deck of our Rhino Bar and Grill in Cordalba, Mick and Flo decided to tie the knot, in an intimate and quiet wedding ceremony. Their love for each other shone brightly as they exchanged their vows, surrounded by the beauty of nature. With our friend, Allie, and my husband Tony as photographers and witnesses, Flo and Mick embarked on a new journey together.

After a week filled with a large influx of new clients referred to my psychology practice, I am excited to officiate at my first elopement wedding ceremony on the deck of the Rhino Bar tomorrow. It was a crazy busy week, and I was almost scared to check my emails and referral sources, but I am very much looking forward to the upcoming ceremony. Such a change of pace.

Karl and Ella were married a week before Christmas at HSG @ The Gardens in Bundaberg. The morning dawned with threats of rain that held off for the day and evening. To round out the ceremony, they chose to wield a branding iron and burn their initials into a framed piece of cowhide to hang on their wall as a memento of the day they said, "I do". A unique ending for their ceremony.

“Maybe you expected marriage to be perfect - I guess that's where you and I are different. See, I thought it would be all about making mistakes, but doing it with someone who's there to remind you what you learned along the way.”

“Patience gives your spouse permission to be human. It understands that everyone fails. When a mistake is made, it chooses to give them more time than they deserve to correct it. It gives you the ability to hold on during the rough times in your relationship rather than bailing out under the pressure.”
― Stephen Kendrick

“We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.”
