😍 FAMILY 😍
I keep coming back to look at this photo, a quick moment captured beautifully, of one of my beautiful couples BEAMING 😁 at their greatest creation.
All I see is LOVE ❤️
My little ones may now be big ones (16 and 18), I still gaze adoringly at them, but now they tell me I’m being weird 🤷🏼‍♀️

CREEPER, LURKER, WATCHER 👀

I DON’T DROP BABIES 👶
Rach and Josh wanted to have their little squishy son Odin, as part of their day, he smiled and chatted baby talk during the ceremony and was an absolute JOY 🤩
It got to the vows and Mum and Dad needed a moment, so I scooped up that bundle and had the best cuddle ever!
YES TO KIDS AT WEDDINGS! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Wonderful pics by the legend

ASH ❤️s JORDAN
These cool cats were so very chill on their wedding day. Like so chill. Not a sweat bead formed on any brow, no nervous twitches.
After waiting for a wee bit to get married, they were soo ready, and the crowd was SO PUMPED 🙌🏼
Be like Ash and Jordan and be chill, as you cruise into Monday 😊😉

Such an EPIC CELEBRATION OF LOVE 😍

🌈 BRIDGETT & LYNDA 🌈
During the ceremony we honored Lynda and her connection to the land by including an acknowledgment of country wrapped warmly by the sounds of her family playing didgeridoo.
After the ceremony we honored Bridgett by feasting on the hangi prepared by whanau, to honor Bridgette’s deep Maori roots and connection to her family.
Marrying a beautiful same s*x couple in their 60’s, from different cultures, was so profound, I cannot tell you how special this ceremony was to me, the gravity of the day was not lost on anyone.
So I took a photo of their epic shoes, as you do.

There’s vomit on his sweater already, Moms spaghetti 🍝
Okay dokes, enough quoting lyrical genius , but the man’s got a point, so let’s chat about
NERVES!! 😬
You are gonna feel nervous on your wedding day, it’s so normal, it’s expected, there is a lot of pressure (that you put on yourself) for things to go well, for you not to stuff up, trip on your feet or trip on your words😅
I encourage you to relabel your nerves on your wedding day as EXCITEMENT!😆
Physiologically the feeling of nervousness and excitement are the same, both produce increased heart rate, butterflies, sweats, your body is readying itself for action.
Start training yourself now to interpret your nerves as excitement, so you can better cope on your big day. 👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏼‍♂️🤵🏽‍♂️🤵🏻👰🏻‍♂️👰🏽
FLIP THE SCRIPT 📝 - instead of thinking I’m nervous, I’m going to f-up, say to yourself, FARK I AM EXCITED! This is gonna be amazing! Get HYPED!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
PS. I’m a HYPE GURL 😄

👟KICKS 👟
I wear ‘em everywhere! 💥
I own around 50 different pairs, air-force, huraches, cons, vans, you name it.
Please bring comfy shoes on your wedding day, don’t tootle about on some uncomfy heels all day and night, put on some dancing sneakers, do some high kicks, burn outs and running man! Kicks=FUN!

Looking for a word with no gender basis for a Bridesmaid or Groomsman?
Look to this gorgeous Greek word ‘Paranymph’ ✨
It literally translates to ‘person standing next to the person getting married’.
Gather your paranymphs peeps, and get married!

BEACH WEDDINGS IN MELBS 🏖
TBH, they very rarely turn out like the pics you pics you see of …insert lush tropical beach location here… weddings.
I’ve had n**e sun bathers that have refused to move in Port Melbourne, sand in my eye from windswept Williamstown, and mosquito bites as big as a 20c piece from Paradise Beach.
But this day all the planets aligned for Sal and Jono and their boys, and Briggsey captured it in his brilliant casual style.

THE UNVEILING OF THE CERTIFICATE 📜
When a ceremony is almost over and we tootle off to the signing table, I get to have a quick chat to my couples and the adrenaline is PUMPING 💥
The relief they feel getting through the ceremony without falling and the just married high is at its peak!! 🏔🙌🏼😃
Absolutely love this little moment!
Shendar and Jack here married on a quiet Sunday morning up at the gorg .gardens and they were so HAPPY WHEN THEY SAW THE CERTIFICIATE! Actually they were happy the whole day, but it was fever pitch right here!

😍 Carleen and Corey 😍
These beauties were so gorgeous in their approach to getting married. They laughed, they handled any problems with grace and they were soooo super duper organised!!
An absolute dream!! 😄
Potters in Warrandyte is one of my regular venues and this luscious🌿place is a location that I can’t recommend highly enough! The staff are absolutely BRILLIANT, the venue is DIVINE and there is accommodation on site!

SUZY AND PETE 👀
These lovelies were so LOVELY! ☺️ Chilled and relaxed, they bantered their way through the ceremony, got sweet and intimate during the vows, then straight back to jokey, joke, jokes.
That’s what weddings are, they are serious and funny, intimate and public, loud and quiet. It’s the dichotomy that I ADORE!
Photographs by and I was so impressed, such a great guy and the photos blew my mind 🤯❤️

😎COVID FILL IN 😎
I’ve filled in for 3 other Celebrants who had COVID in the last week!
I understand this must be hard for couples to have a stranger step in and do a warm, connected ceremony, so let me break the ice with some random Mel facts-
👉🏻 I LOVE WEDDINGS, be it a vegan celebration of lovely love or a rockstar wedding with shots, I can adapt!
👀 I am pretty animated, like Jim Carey but less funny
🤷🏼‍♀️I fall over a fair bit, but laugh it off
🤩 Friends call me Melly, Mel, Melster, Hairy Legs (thanks Mum) and B***s McGraw

Calmus-farmus is a very old fashioned 🖋📜 way to describe ‘a leader who has the ability to expunge the tension, nerves or bad energy in a singular person or group environment .’
Okay totes made that s**t up 😝, but that’s what I do, that’s my job, I am always the calmest person in any wedding tornado🌪. I find solutions and I stay positive, ALWAYS 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

THESE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING HUMANS are my IRL couple Petra and Ross🙌🏼
They married at in front of a handful of family and friends.
And even though they almost broke the camera lens with their stunning good looks and swagger, the most beautiful thing about their day they kept everything so simple and they just loved each other
SO. DAMN. MUCH ♥️

I FULLY BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF A PINKY PROMISE!✨🤙🏽✨
Pinky promises were the first promises we made with friends as kids, they MEAN SOMETHING!
I still make pinky promises with family and friends because I know they are the DEEPEST PROMISE YOU CAN MAKE ❤️
So my new vows books from remind my couples just how powerful a pinky promise is.
You can use my vow books to hold your wedding vows during your ceremony and I would be so chuffed if you link little fingers while you speak those magical words🗣😍

😃HABITS😎
Usually this time on a Sat morning I would be -
Getting paperwork prepared, deciding what to wear, curling my hair and running here and there, prepping for an onslaught of Saturday wedding fabulousness😍
Today though big GAHHHH! No weddings, still locked down 😔
But ohhhhh baby, I can feel it in my waters, GOOD TIMES ARE AHEAD!
Soon I am gonna be back licking my mic and slamming some post-wedding fireballs with my wedding lovelies AND I AM SOOO EXCITED ABOUT THAT, I think I just wee’d a little 😂😅😂😅😂

‼️THE DOUBLE DOUBLE ‼️
These two beauties are besties, that do everything together. 👯‍♀️
For their wedding day, they hired a HUGE air bnb, spent the day before the wedding cooking up a massive feast, and the next day family and friends arrived and these besties married their partners, one after the other, in a little backyard ceremony, had some quick snaps and then feasted like there was no tomorrow.
They shared the same friendship group so the place was filled to the brim with people they all loved.
What a PLAN 📝
Loved seeing this flashback in my camera roll today!
