🎄Merry Christmas, from me and mine
✨ ✨ ✨
Tonight I’m grateful for the time I shared with my family, and I hold in my heart all the families who have been forced to face today without their loved ones. Christmas doesn’t stop, it comes relentlessly whether you’re ready or not. I know today would have been hard for so many, and to those - I send an abundance of love and light. I hope you found some magic in today, I hope you were kind to yourself when the tears came uncontrollably, when you sat to eat, or you smelt the food you’d usually share. I hope that although there was an empty seat, your heart still grew full of love and laughter 💖
Big love, Kahlia xx

THE DE WAL’S
• • •
I still get goosebumps thinking of this day! And not because it was cold - it was quiet the bloody opposite 🥵
Madi and Luke fell in love at their local pub. Luke was head over heels from the moment he saw her but Madi didn’t care to admit at the time that Luke’s smile and sparkle in his eye was constantly on her mind also.
After a few knock backs Luke finally got a date with the illustrious Madison and on 22.10.22 they were married (by me!) at ! We had a brilliant night as I stayed on to MC with the legendary on the decks! I cannot thank you two enough for having me as part of your day!! SO MUCH LOVE for you guys xx

PALMERS LANE PERFECTION

Caleb & Jacqui. The epitome of high school sweethearts! They met in their senior years, Jacqui pretending she didn’t understand equations but all the same knowing the probability of Caleb offering help was high and it would be a 50% chance he’d ask her out following that. Who says the girl didn’t know Math!!!
This is one love story I cannot get enough of! I’m still watching on through the lens of Instagram as they travel around australia making the most incredible memories! I don’t know about Jacqui and Caleb but thanks to Puzzleman Productions I’m going to be living this special day over and over 🥰🥰 forever grateful for supportive industry friends!

You’ll hear a perfect example of your “LAUGH” vows in here… in a style I like to call “the cheeky celebrant” where I craft your I Do’s based on your pet hates detailed in your couples questionnaires 🤣

And minor details too …

Thankyou to the amazing for capturing my whole vibe during Casey & Dil’s ceremony! Have you ever seen two people have so much fun in the rain?!!
We all cried, we all laughed, we all said some words to make the whole thing legal and then they did SHOTS! Just for that extra warm fuzzy feeling 🥰

Thankyou Casey & Dil for allowing me the honor of being there with you on your big day!! It was something special ✨

DANCING IN THE RAIN

They say life is about learning how to dance in the rain! Brit and Josh did exactly that. As the heavens opened right on ceremony start time they took it all in their stride and just went with it!

I’M IN LOVE, LOVIN’ ON YOU!
• • •
Mr & Mrs Kershaw committed to forever way back in January! With their loved ones joining via the interwebs, we shared a small intimate ceremony amongst the sunflowers as they said their ‘I Do’s’.

But in a style true to Charlie and Brendan, I said I’ll accept any of the following –
I Do, I will, Hell Yeah, Yeah I guess so, 100% yes, Sure why not or you betcha!!

Im sure I heard a mixture of them all!!
Thankyou for asking me to officiate your marriage!! Wishing you both so much love and light ###

WHAT DO YOU DO?
• • •
Oh I’m a celebrant… so you do weddings?! Yes I do, and I LOVE them…But am not limited to them!
In 2018 I completed my Cert IV in Celebrancy. Yes this is highly structured around wedding ceremonies and the legalities involved in becoming a Commonwealth Authorised Marriage Celebrant, but the completion of the certificate doesn’t qualify us to be a “marriage” celebrant, there’s far more involved with the Attorney Generals Office before you are authorised!
What the certificate does qualify you for, is to deliver ceremonies. ALL ceremonies! Funerals, Naming Days, Vow Renewals, Commitment Ceremonies!
I love all of these ceremonies equally! What’s so special about being a celebrant? It’s being let into peoples lives that you may not have met. It’s helping them to celebrate through the happiest times, being around to congratulate them as they grow and achieve goals, it’s being a unit of support for families who are grieving and gaining the trust of each person, during each chapter of their lives to create 30 or so minutes of heart moving, tear jerking, laughter filled memories that each couple/person/family take with them as a memory of a special time in their lives.
I feel so incredibly blessed to be doing this job, so if you’ve trusted me to be your celebrant, and/or stuck around long enough to read this whole post, Thankyou 🥰

LOVE LOCKED DOWN 💛🔐
• • •
December marks three months as an Authorised Marriage Celebrant and I celebrate locking down the marriage of three amazing couples who trusted me to share their big day! I’m so grateful for each one of these amazing humans, and for all of the beautiful couples who have already booked me for their 2020 wedding!!
I’m so unbelievably honoured to announce that I’m FULLY BOOKED for January-June 2020! I could never have imagined being in this position so quickly and I’m so thankful for each one of you who have supported me!! If you currently have a live enquiry with me for the first half of 2020, I’ve kept your dates open - any new enquiries please still send through, I’ve got a bunch of amazing celebrants I can refer you too 👌🏻

From the bottom of my heart, Thankyou!
💛Kahlia x

How lucky am I, to marry such amazing couples that spoil me 🥰 and how lucky are you, that you can sign in style with my fancy new pen 🖊

30 YEARS!

Yesterday was my birthday 🎂 it’s okay if you missed it, I’ll celebrate all week-month even! 🤣🥳

But seriously, there was something extra special about this year! I was given a new title. Not friend, sister, mother, wife, daughter, cousin etc (all of which I absolutely adore) but BEST CELEBRANT EVER! I mean, that title pulled a few heart strings I didn’t know existed!! I like it, a lot! I think I’ll keep this title 🙊💁🏼‍♀️ this “job” is the best in the world and I absolutely love the buzz and energy that’s created from celebrating love!!

THANKYOU to everyone who took time out of their day to wish me well! Every msg made me feel a little more loved and special and reminded me of how many amazing people surround me everyday 🥰🥳

And an extra Thankyou to for the birthday msg that set my day to a new high! I marry the most amazing couples 🥰

WHO DAT GIRL?!
• • •
Oh, little ol’ me? I’m your celebrant! A love enthused bossy boots who isn’t afraid to direct a crowd, give you a boost of confidence on your wedding day and help you create a ceremony that leaves you and your guests on a huge love high!
I’m a mum, a wife, I sell steel most days, and steal the hearts of your guests on the weekends!
I’m not your average celebrant (I wouldn’t turn down a barefoot bowls ceremony, a hike up a mountain elopement or anything else that’d be fun AF!)
I’ll more than likely be more excited than you about planning your ceremony, and you betcha butt were going to plan the best ceremony ever! One that oozes love and laughs and leaves your guests in awe!

So, enough about me! Tell me, when are you getting hitched?!!

MY BEST FRIENDS
• • •
About Saturday. I married my best friend, to her “other” bestie. I’m so unbelievably honoured to have played such important role in their wedding day! To create a ceremony that I know they’ll hold so close to their hearts, just as I will, leaves me absolutely speechless (and that’s impossible at the best of times!) I’m so proud of you & ! I’ll never be able to express how special yesterday was to me!! Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness and may you always have a bottle of Captain Morgan at the ready for nights of endless (literally) laughs and life defining moments! Love you both to the moon & back xx

Tomorrow is going to be something special! I get to marry my bestie!!!...to her other bestie! Rehearsal, done ✅
Let’s get you guys married!!

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
• • •
Can anyone spot the groom?! Here’s a hint... he’s the one NOT in a suit 😂🤦🏼‍♀️
Yep, you guessed it. He forgot his suit. He found out precisely 50mins prior to his due arrival at the venue. But, He did have his socks (the one thing his now wife packed for him! No wonder he wifed her!!) and he did still have a smile on his face. Wanna know why? Because, with or without a suit, he was still going to marry his best friend!! Catching what I’m throwing? S**t happens, things don’t always go to plan. The important thing is as long as you have two people ready to wed, two more to witness AND ME (your celebrant) then everything else is just aesthetics! Fun fact. Harry (the groom) has only ever been late for things twice in his life. First time was his first date with Kate and the second... their wedding day! Talk about consistent!! Props to you for keeping a smile on your face and remembering what’s important! That would walk down that aisle and marry you in whatever you were wearing!

My number 1’s!! Kate & Harry, two lovers who took a chance (in form of a fancy new app) coincidently, swiping right on each other and BAM! they’re married! It’s that easy, you guys!!
No, that’s a lie! But, they are married. And they do tell a more modern day fairytale then most! They’ve worked hard to be where they are today and yesterday couldn’t have been a more perfect celebration of their love! Not without its challenges, much the same as most marriages, but their resilience shone through and now they have a couple of cracking stories to laugh about when telling stories of their forever memorable wedding day!
Thank-you doesn’t even begin to express how much gratitude I have for you two, for trusting me to create your ceremony, knowing it would be my first! You’ll forever hold a special place in my heart! All my love to you and congratulations, again - again!!

20/10/2019

A little gift for my amazing first couple Kate & Harry! When a steel salesman marries a police woman, who he met on tinder, it was safe to say he copped a steel 😝 and after they read their rights...I mean vows... Kate forevermore has the ! Huge shoutout to for the killer brainstorming hashtags and to for putting together the best gift & keepsake! A practical memento for a warm wedding day!
