😍Top 5 Tips for Crafting Personalized Wedding Vows

📜💕 Writing your own vows can add a beautiful and personal touch to your wedding ceremony. Here are my top 5 tips to help you craft heartfelt and meaningful vows that reflect your unique love story:

1️⃣ Reflect on Your Journey: Take a trip down memory lane and reflect on your journey as a couple. What milestones, challenges, and special moments have defined your relationship?

2️⃣ Express Your Feelings: Don't be afraid to express your true feelings. Share what you love most about your partner and the reasons you are excited to spend your lives together.

3️⃣ Use Personal Anecdotes: Incorporate personal anecdotes and inside jokes that are special to the two of you. This adds a touch of humor and nostalgia to your vows.

4️⃣ Promise and Commit: Make meaningful promises to each other. Whether it's a promise to support, cherish, or adventure together, let your vows be a commitment to your shared future.

5️⃣ Speak from the Heart: Speak from the heart and be genuine. Your vows are a unique expression of your love, so let your authentic voice shine through.

Remember, there's no right or wrong way to write your vows, and I'm here to guide you every step of the way! 💑✨ If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. Happy vow writing! 💖👰🤵‍♂️

When your fur baby is an important part of your family, you might want to include them in your ceremony.

Would you include your pet in your wedding?

🤓Ever wonder why there's a Bridal Party at a wedding?
The bridal party was a Roman tradition. Apparently there was concern that evil spirits might jinx the poor married couple, so friends of both the bride and groom got equally as dressed up, so the confused spirits would not know who was marrying. Therefore they could not cast an evil spirit over the happy couple.

I had the absolute pleasure of marrying this beautiful couple yesterday at Burrum Heads Beach. A bit of a breezy day didn't spoil the enjoyment of this relaxed and happy pair and their family and friends, and the sun came out for us right before the start. Thanks to you both M & V for making my last wedding of 2022 such a fun and lovely one!

**Wedding Idea!** Instead of having a traditional guest registry or guest book at your reception, ask guests to take a selfie with a polaroid camera, and let them write a message to you on the polaroid. It will make a great addition to your wedding album!

I'm travelling through Tassie this week with my best friend, and I'm reminded how lucky we are to live in Queensland. On the day we visited Wineglass Bay we had rain, sun, wind, chilly temperatures and still got sunburnt! Tassie may be beautiful, but there's nothing as good as Queensland's reliable sunshine.

Rest in peace, HRH Queen Elizabeth. A woman who was the epitome of unwavering strength and grace.
But no matter what family you're born into, remember that every woman deserves to feel like a princess on her wedding day, and marry her prince!
