Had an absolute BALL marrying Chris and Tamara this weekend. 🌊 ☀️ ❤️

They have such a beautiful little family and their gorgeous babes were so adorable being the ones to pronounce them husband and wife and introduce their first kiss - it melted me, they were so proud!

It is extremely special and an incredible privilege being able to be a part of family and friends special days!

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Ball!

P E R S O N A L V O W S

Writing and sharing your own vows is an optional part of your ceremony but it is definitely one of my favourites, it’s so so special!

Prior to your wedding day, I will ask you to send me a copy of your vows (if you’re choosing to include them). I will print them and bring a copy to your ceremony so that it is one less thing you need to remember!

Feel like you want to memorise them and know them off by heart? That’s cool! I’ll keep a paper copy and follow along, just incase nerves creep in and you need a little prompting - I got you!

Here are my top tips for writing your personal vows:

🌟 RELAX - you are writing and reading them to the person you love.

🌟 START EARLY - be organised, don’t leave them until the last minute. Leave yourself time to edit (I can help proof read if needed)

🌟NEED HELP? - research some key phrases to get your juices flowing “when I’m with you…” “when we first met…” “together we will…” “I’m sorry your football team always lose but I promise to support you through it”

🌟 BREAK IT DOWN - start in smaller sections and then piece them together into a nice flow. They don’t have to be a set length, whatever makes you feel calm and comfortable as you deliver them.

🌟 PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE - read them out loud so you can get timing, flow and wording familiarised.

The cutest little ring bearer delivering Mum & Dad’s rings 😍💍

So special to have your special little people included in your ceremony like Maddie and Boyd did.

💡 I am a mother of two little babes and have a background in Early Ed, I am more than happy and in fact, encourage and love to help you include your little ones your special day (children, nieces/nephews, siblings, friends children etc - the special little loves of your life).

If you’re unsure on how to do this, we can run through together what that may look like for your special day!

Tomorrow marks two weeks (already?!) since Sarah and Jarrad said “I do”.

I’ve known Sarah since we were little girls - our mums worked together in the banking world in the small country town of Oberon, so it was so special to be part of Sarah’s big day!

Sarah and Jarrad oozed confidence and calm in their rehearsal on Friday afternoon and that carried through to their beautiful ceremony on Saturday in front of their closest family and friends.

Congratulations Sarah & Jarrad.

“Life’s too short not to drink great wine” 🍷

My beautiful cousin is visiting from Darwin ✈️ and we ventured out to to sample delicious drops.

The hospitality was delightful, the venue was gothic glam, with a wine to sample that suits everyone 🩶

I already can’t wait to go back!

If you ever have the pleasure to meet Zerlina and Michael, you’ll feel instant warmth and kindness - I know I did. Together they’ve created a beautiful little family and throughout this whole ceremony they radiated love and happiness.

➡️ the proof is in that laughter!

🎉 Celebrating ONE WHOLE YEAR as a registered Marriage Celebrant! 🎉

So grateful to all the beautiful couples, past and future, that I get to be a part of their life story.

Rounding out the year with two more November marriages before kicking off a busy first half of 2023 - 💃🏻.

Ash and Ryan 🤍

Ash and Ryan participated in a game of scissors, paper, rock to decide who would say their personal vows first. (Ash was the champ 💁🏻‍♀️)

It was a fantastic way to add some light hearted humour to their ceremony - check out those smiles!

💡 hot tip: this tactic can be used to settle a good portion of relationship decision making and disagreements.

Five years ago today, the love of my life got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife, 🚨 spoiler alert - I said yes 🤣

And so started, my search for the perfect wedding celebrant (this can be harder than you think!) and so too my interest in becoming a celebrant!

I attended several friends weddings shortly after my own and my desire to follow this path became stronger until I finally (with a fair bit of encouragement to follow this dream from my beautiful husband) enrolled to begin my certification when on maternity leave in 2020.

It’s been an incredible journey and there are no words to describe the feeling of pure joy, love and fullness in my heart at each ceremony - I can’t wait to continue this beautiful ride!

SQUAD GOALS ✨

Pick the people you love the most to stand beside you on your big day, the ones you turn to when best things happen to you… and the worst. The ones who support and share in your dreams. The ones you have the biggest belly laughs with. The ones you can be raw, open and honest with.

It’s your day, choose your people because you want them next to you. No expectations, no obligations on who you should or need to have - you pick your people, who love and support you. They’re the real MVPs.

Jemma and Ash certainly did, check out the epic vibes this bridal party are giving! 👏🏼
