Nerd alert! I was coming into the CBD today to have coffee with the delightful Jo Hayes and decided to take the opportunity to come to the to check out the copies they have of these marriage celebrant handbooks, dating from 1940 (when celebrants were only ministers of religion) through to 1988. Now we have the Guidelines on the Marriage Act to help us interpret the rules we work under; back then they had the Handbook for Marriage Celebrants. Yes I am thoroughly enjoying my nerdy afternoon!

Lauren had a new obsession almost every week. Once she’d achieved a goal, it was on to the next one. One of her favourites was working for the SES, which she joined in hopes of getting to use a chainsaw - she did! Today we farewelled her with lots of laughter and tears.

This evening’s theatre visit was to see the extraordinary Heather Mitchell in the exceptional RBG: Of Many, One. I don’t think I have many words to describe the phenomenal performance we just witnessed. The packed full Playhouse at was utterly silent as everyone was mesmerised. Brilliant.

After performing over 800 ceremonies, speaking in front of people is no longer nerve wracking for me. In fact most of my job is a pleasure. There's just one thing that still fills me with dread to this day: sending the script to the family or the couple. Clicking that send button after spending hours carefully constructing a eulogy or a couple's story is honestly terrifying - how will they react? Will they hate it? Have I got it right? Last week, in response to my second draft of a funeral ceremony, I got this comment, and I cannot begin to tell you the waves of relief that washed over me. I hope I can do this for every family and couple I work with - that's the goal.

ID: Teal words on a cream background with a teal border reading "Absolutely brilliant, I love it. You have captured the very essence of my dad and for that I thank you."

Congratulations Romin and Ruchi, married today near their home in Berwick! I married their witnesses way back during COVID, and it was lovely to see them again!

Congratulations Claud and Pam, married today at Malvern Public Gardens in a ceremony!

This is an option I offer to all my funeral families. First, would you like to speak? If that seems a bit difficult, would you like to write something for me to read on your behalf? If even that's a bit much, if you have something you want to say to your person but you don't want it said out loud, do you want to write a letter to pop in the coffin with them? People take up the offer more than I might have expected! Remember there are no rules with funerals - whatever works for you and your family is what we'll do!

01/03/2024

I often find people describe my funeral family meetings as cathartic, which I'm honestly delighted by. I work hard to build rapport and create a safe environment for people to talk about their loved one in whatever way is meaningful to them. After our meeting last Friday we farewelled this person's parent today, and I'm glad to have played a small role in helping them say goodbye in the right way for them.

Today my all time favourite show: Rent. It’s been my fave show since the first time I saw it way back in 1998. I’ve seen seven different live productions over the years plus I own the (admittedly awful) movie and final Broadway performance on DVD - that last one gets a workout. This production has had outstanding reviews and I’m excited!
