Poetry time! When we look for wedding poetry, we don't always want to be deadly serious. Give your guests a break from the happy tears with this cheeky little ditty!

Love Me
by Bee Rawlinson

Love me when I'm old and shocking
Peel off my elastic stockings
Swing me from the chandeliers
Let's be randy bad old dears.
Push around my chromed bath chair
Let me tease your white chest hair
Scaring children, swapping dentures
Let us have some great adventures
Take me to the dogs and bingo
Teach me how to speak the lingo
Bone my eels and bring me tea
Show me how it's meant to be
Take me to your special places
Watching all the puzzled faces
You in shorts and socks and sandals
Me with warts and huge love-handles
As the need for love enthrals
Wrestle with my damp proof smalls
Make me laugh without constraint
Buy me chocolate body paint
Hold me safe throughout the night
When my hair has turned to white
Believe me when I say it's true
I've waited all my life for you

Check out my blog post on symbolic actions - a great way to add meaning and drama to your wedding celebration!

These are just some of the symbolic elements that can be added to your celebrant led ceremony - not only a wedding celebration, but a naming ceremony, a renewal of vows - whatever works for you!

Here's a really useful article about 'the legal bit' from Claire at Creating Ceremony, a Sussex based celebrant. Couldn't put it better myself so I shamelessly nicked it! Thanks Claire!

How to 'do the legal bit' so you can get on with having your awesome, personalised celebrant-led wedding wherever and however you want it.

A new weekly feature here on my page will be wedding poetry ideas!

This week's poem reminds me of my own man, my Mr third-time-lucky, and the pic is because he always brings me coffee in bed!

I Belong In Your Arms by Deborah Brideau

I belong in your arms
Finally, I have found a place
Into which I fit perfectly, safely
And securely with no doubts,
No fears, no sadness, no tears.

This place is filled with happiness and laughter
Yet it is spacious enough, to allow me
The freedom to move around,
To live my life and be myself.
This wonderful place, which I never believed really existed,
I have found finally
Inside your arms, Inside your heart, inside your love.

What a lovely day at Weddings on Pudding Pie Hill Fox and Goose Wedding Fair! Met some lovely people (nearly-weds and fellow exhibitors alike). I am always excited about other people's wedding plans but totally jealous about the adorable couple who will be having a 'Harry Potter' themed wedding. Wish I'd thought of that!

Remembering your loved one your way needn't add money worries to your grief. Words, music and actions can be more meaningful than expensive cars and coffins. This Celebration of Life which I arranged, following a direct cremation, used a funeral celebrant to tell the life story of this much loved lady, a retired librarian, followed by a fully catered buffet for 40 people with her favourite music and many happy memories, came in at under £1000.

I'm delighted to announce that I will be attending the Wedding Fair this weekend at the Fox and Goose.

Celebrant-led weddings have boomed in popularity in recent year - but what is a celebrant and what do celebrant weddings involve?

I am currently working as a Funeral Celebrant only, but will be taking bookings for Couples and Naming ceremonies from January 2024.
