It truly was an amazing send off!!
A vivacious character who adored her job as cabin crew. They all came to line up outside as the horse and carriage arrived & it was deeply touching! I'm honoured to have everyone fly with us on her last flight, Airbus Flight C๐งก
Hopefully everyone took a little orange ribbon at the end to place on their suitcases, so she will continue to travel the world forever more!!
Awwww my Malta lovies...BayNayNay... left me speechless.....
Yes... speechless!!!!!!!

Today..... I'm doing things a little diff!
Here is me...... ๏ผฃ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ
....๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
If you want to know....... ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
I like a lot of things,
but one thing I'm passionate about is travel! ๐
I'm ๐๐๐๐ friend..........
๐ฃ if you say to me
"hmmm she we take a trip?".....
๐ within 24hrs I've researched, screenshotted sights, mapped out a route & sky scannered the flight deals!
๐ Mentally my bags are being packed & if you decide to not take the trip, I'm likely going to go to some awesome place anyway! Soz!
๐บ Taking a penny to my scratch map once again.... those who know me,
will know full well......
I have recently popped away,
(if im not talking about funerals or weddings, I'm annoying people's ears with my trip!).....
โ๏ธSo I thought I'd share a little about me with everyone.....
Here's only a couple of treats over the years (spot the age differences haha)
from Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Bali & Austria
Oh.... & this song that's playing?.... ๐ง was the song I listened to every day, 8 years ago, when I first went travelling all on my own for 3 months!!!!! It still gives me goosebumps to hear ๐ง
AND SO...... there's no wonder .....
destination weddings call to me..........
Bเพeเพ uเพnเพiเพqเพuเพeเพ, bเพeเพ YเพOเพUเพ!
๐ซ No moulds to fit into here.....
you are THE mould! ๐
Whether you're an introvert, extrovert, simplistic, outlandish, elegant, extravagant, neat, untidy, undecorated, embellished, quiet, exuberant...
๐ญ๐ฐ ๐๐บ๐!
UNAPOLOGETICALLY ๐๐๐!
..... & as a celebrant, this is exactly what we are here to embrace!
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
You won't find any standard generic scripted words that do not reflect or represent you in any way.....
โ๏ธ
What you will get is.... a completely unique, bespoke, memorable ceremony to take you and your guests on your journey into becoming a married couple.๐
๐ถ With tones, vibes, feelings, emotions, wordings that reflect exactly you!!!โฅ๏ธ

๐With some exhilarating twists & turns,
๐a spot of hand tying,
๐laughs, ๐ซtears and โบ๏ธawwwwwws.....
esp at the doggo.....
๐คณfinished off with a major selfie!
What a day!!!!! โก๏ธ
I often wish I could re-live days like this again and again! ๐
โจ๏ธAs a Master (mistress) of Ceremonies I will remain a solid presence throughout your day, introducing you into the dinner, the dance, etc with some personalised pizazz ....plus making sure the day continues to flow without you haven't to think of anything! โจ๏ธ
ย ย
I asked
"what epic shots have you captured? "
....& OF COURSE Vix completely smashes out an album FILLED with soooo many shots that had me oooo'ing ahhhh'ing & laughing!!!! ๐๐คฃ

Becoming a funeral celebrant was the biggest honour. It's humbling, tough, joyous, challenging, beautiful, emotive, warm....
the words could continue on & on.....
Thank you for trusting in me to get to know your loved ones & create a beautiful farewell.
Huge thanks to all the amazing Funeral Directors who have supported me, believed in me, and introduced me to so many lovely families every day.
Never Underestimate the different you make โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
It was an honour to be asked by a local Funeral Director, to do a reading for The Light Of Life Service at St. Andrews Church.
It was lovely to be able to have some hugs with families I have helped support over the past years.
Each year people can leave a message to loved ones on the Xmas tree, light a candle in remembrance and listen to a beautiful choir.
Bringing everyone together who have lost loved ones, to feel so much love and know that no one is alone ๐
๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ฉต๐๐๐ฉถ๐ฉต๐๐ฉถ๐ฉต๐ฉถ๐๐
One thing about this job is get to meet people from all walks of life & many stories to tell....& I meet the most wonderful families!
It is always a huge honour to support those saying a beautiful farewell to their loved one xx

On Tuesday, I opened my WhatsApp in the morning to this most delightful message!!
In fact, it was more than delightful....
It was blooming marvellous!! ๐
I appreciate these words soooo darn much!
Bravo to the brides mum for planning a surprise venue
As well as a multitude of organisational skills throughout the day!!!!๐
After Dan and Si signed their certificate, another surprise unfolded.... their good friend who is a singer, stood up to sing them a personal song....
& wowsas! What a voice! ๐ถ
We mixed in a sand ceremony & some words given to me from their family & friends....
And Dannielle.... well.... strikingly beautiful Dannielle.... had multiple dresses on stand-by!
One for the legals, one for the wedding ceremony & those for as the night unfolded. The black sparkle dress was showstoppingly adorned for the first dance!
5 dresses..... all looked perfection! ๐
While guests ( including the chairs & myself ๐คฃ) took to the theme of emerald & gold.

Look forward to hearing about all their crazy adventures to come!! ๐

Nailed it โณ๏ธ Sand ceremonies...... Pouring layers of sand into any vessel you wish, layer by layer, incorporating children, family or friends, shrouded with beautiful words of what each layer represents. Once filled, it remains as one, unbroken and bonded with layers of meaning. There's many way this can be done to fit your bond as a couple. . . . . . #celebrant #independantcelebrant #wedding #sandย #weddingvenue #weddingcelebrant #sandceremony #ceremony #fpccelebrants #familybond #weddingincoming #clairedeniscelebrant #weddingvenues #weddingceremony #weddinginfo #essexwedding #essexcelebrant #fellowshipofprofessionalcelebrants #bridetobe #groomtobe #yourwedding #uniquewedding #loveislove #married #wifetobe #husbandtobe #layers #colouredsand
A little script for a beautiful funeral ceremony - I always leave families or wedding couples with a hand made ceremony script with a personal touch fitted to that person or couple ๐
