Wedding preparation has so many details, so many facets to organise…
It is very normal, usual and expected for there to be a considerable amount of stress within the group gathered…

Early on in the gathering I like to assist everyone in letting go of some of that stress, and of relaxing into the moment, and the occasion.

A little relaxation exercise, a deep breath, and a settling down ready for a love story 🄰

Being fully present enables a greater depth of joy and authenticity.

Such a beautiful venue for a wedding šŸ‘Œ
It suits a relaxed, informal occasion in the bush, or equally a more formal outdoor setting.

The sun is shining and everything has that golden glow that causes our souls to sing and love to bloom 🧔
If love ripens to a commitment of marriage for you, or someone you know, get in touch!! As a registered Marriage Celebrant, there’s nothing I’d like more than to officiate at a friend’s wedding.

Tis the season…

Are you still wearing your wedding dress 38 years on?
I am!!
Check out the lace of the bodice… can you find it on the corner of the scarf?
The buttons from the bodice back are felted into the merino wool on the opposite scarf corner…
Pieces of lace from the skirt are incorporated randomly throughout the scarf…

I have such fond memories of shopping with my mum for the satin fabric and then the lace… Mum’s best friend made the dress for me. It was a very special process, choosing it together, and her friend making it. It’s so lovely to be able to still wear aspects of it in this ā€˜every day’ item. A Tassie merino scarf.

If you have your dress packed away for mould and moths, pull it out, contact me and let’s get designing! Time for rebirth 😊

That’s another year’s legalities testing done āœ”ļø
Every 12 months, as a Registered Marriage Celebrant I am obliged to pass a test concerning the legalities of marriage within Australia.
Topics covered range from conduct and integrity of the ceremony, to integrity of evidence provided around identity, legality of parties to marry, right through to coercion and forcing individuals into marriage.

My role to you as a Celebrant authorised and appointed by the Attorney General’s Office is to ensure that your marriage is legal.
Basically, that’s it.
I’ll make sure that all aspects of your marriage are in accordance to Australian law ā˜ŗļø

Message me if you are considering it! šŸ’•

Facilitating for family and friends at the funeral of their loved one is so much about gathering stories and memories and assisting in the presentation of them.
This one was a beauty!!

The owner of this Collingwood Premiership Port had followed Collingwood his entire life. He watched every single game. Year after year they lost… he called them the ā€˜collywobbles’ šŸ˜‰. For 35 years he supported them, and when they lost… he said anyone who barracked for Collingwood was in for a life of disappointment 😩

Then, in 1990 they WON!!! šŸŽ‰

With great jubulation this celebratory bottle of port was purchased - but it wasn’t drunk…
Collingwood didn’t win a premiership for another ten years. On that occasion anyone who hadn’t already drunk the celebratory port, did so then. But not this individual.
It’s a rare drop in this bottle of UNOPENED 1990 Collingwood Premiership Port.
It’s location is a big secret 🤐 😜

I’m driving away from a funeral feeling very … something… it’s hard to capture in words…

Knowing her days were very limited, a woman wanted to meet with me to share some of her life stories in preparation for her funeral. I’d already conducted a funeral for a member of her family previously and she was familiar with my ferreting about to uncover significant life events and poignant moments. She wanted to save me the trouble and give it to me herself.

Today at her funeral I told her stories. I delivered her last message to her children. I shared her romantic thoughts of when she first met her husband 60 years ago.

She was a very private lady, and emotions were not easily or readily expressed.
The family listened intently.
After the ceremony her children and grandchildren marvelled at some of the history revealed.
They wanted a copy of my notes to keep the details.
They said she was a very private person and much of what I had shared was not known to them.

I left with a profound sense of privilege in the realisation that this woman had shared so much with me, an almost stranger, and that I had been able to gift it on to her children. Through the physical loss of their mother and matriarch, they had gained a greater understanding, love and intensified respect of who she was.

It’s a strange role, this funeral celebrancy. I often never quite know the complexity of what I’m doing in the simplicity of celebrating a life.

The absolute honour of assisting a dear friend to celebrate the life of her departed love.
How to summon sufficient words to portray how special he was...
Insufficient words.

A privileged and unique life moment.
