POV: House keeping is done, crazy uncle Roy with his digital camera is seated & has been told to enjoy the ceremony rather than capturing his pixelated pics, I’ve checked in with you both, your parents have extra loved Mads tissues, the ‘I do’ crew have picked their wedgies, there’s no phones or extra objects in pockets, the music is ready, you are about to glide down the aisle and I have spotted YOU! ✨❤️

🩵 Elly & Ben 🩵

These two have a story like no other, one of their iconic memories include giving the Horsham football club exactly what they were dying for!

A reenacted live scene of Jack & Rose on the bow of the Titanic 🚢, just like the ice 🧊 berg Ben sunk or dropped (is the best way to describe it), Elly straight on her ass.

Elly knew from that moment, that he was the one 🫶🏻⚡️

These two got married surrounded by their fabulous family, my faves include Grandma “The Vogue iPad Shooter” & Nonno “The Heckler”. 🤭

🌸 SURPRISE, It’s The Laffan’s! 🌸

Mads & Hugh got married their way last weekend, surrounded by their parents and their little man Loui. 👶🏻

Knowing Mads since we were teenagers, watching her marry the guy of her dreams had me emotional in almost every part of their ceremony!

It’s true that when you find your person, everything falls into place, it’s effortless & unwavering. It’s home ❤️

Thank you for having me Laffan’s ⚡️🫶🏻

My heart! SC & KB, literally made my heart skip a beat from the moment they landed in my saucy emails. To the moment we had our last good-bye. Scientifically that’s not possible, HOWEVER, I am still catching my breath from the beauty that is these amazing humans 🌈

SC & KB ooze empathy, love & make everyone feel comfortable in their presence! All of their family and friends were fabulous, warm, inviting and loved the dance floor.

Beautiful vibes really do attract beautiful vibes ✨

It was a privilege to be apart of your journey & make your love officially, official. 🫶🏻

Farrrrr out, does any other vendor hate the vendor-couple break up?! 😭

A massive thank you to all of my fellow hopeless romantics who have trusted me and are trusting me to make their love officially, official. I fu**in love you ❤️‍🔥

My family, friends & industry besties, where would I be without all of your hand holding (ew touch), pushes off the cliff and guidance?!

Not bloody here I tell you that! 🙌🏻

I’m in awe of the people that rally around me, and surround me. I’m obsessed with you ❤️‍🔥

My celebrant association & I can’t imagine what my celebrant journey would look like without you all. Thank you! 🩷

Kara & Tim knew exactly what they wanted, how they wanted people to feel and even how they wanted their beautiful fur babies to feel. They got hitched their way! ✨

Tim surprised Kara with a brand new puppy as she walked down the aisle & it had them in tears.

It’s was sooo amazing to witness just how the small things were extremely important them both!

Their families, were so warm and welcoming. I felt so right at home. I cannot wait to see what Kara & Tim have in store 🩷

Also… it was a thrill to see Tim get nervous, that guy is a cool as a cucumber 🥒 (I’m sadistic I know) The amount of times he wanted a beer throughout the SMALL duration of the ceremony had me laugh every time, it became the tagline of the ceremony 🤣

My oh my, these guys know how to elope! In the morning they got ready together amongst a small amount of family, & after some cute fam pics. We trecked towards the Grampians on Dja Dja Wurrung & Jardwadjali Country and hiked!

Ebony hiked in her wedding dress & Gary hiked in a suit! Like whattt?! Living legends in my eyes! ✨

They got married their way, earlier with two witnesses, & I all in attendance and I couldn’t be more honored to be apart of this adventurous day. I bloody love them!

Their ceremony, reflected all of their main character moments & quirks. 🎯

Also… did I mention they hiked in wedding attire 🫠✌🏻🤭

Honestly, one of the calmest, most go with the flow couples I have ever met! The rain held off just in-time to see these lovers get legally, locked and loaded for life!

J & M are a local-pub-love success story. Who share a love so honest, fun & genuine. They honestly just love the s**t out of each other. What more could you want?

What an privilege it was to get you two married in front of your beautiful boys, as well as your closest fam & friends 💌

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for choo-choo-choosing me to make your love officially-official 🫶🏻✨

❤️ Cheers Big Ears ❤️

Howdy there darlings,

Goodness it has been nothing but busy, busy, busy over here at Marry Me Mads. SO, I do apologise that I have been extremely quiet as of late.

But PLEASE, do not fret. Mads is here now. 💋

Can you believe I signed up 8 couples within the last month to make their love officially, official as well as 4 MC Bookings? No... me neither, WILD. 🙌🏻

I have been taking my time prepping for my November and December weddings, to ensure everything is PERFECT! Or at least a true representation of the lovers getting hitched.

I have ALSO been able to squeeze a wedding expo in & catch up with some gorgeous humans from my celebrant association, who gave me a real kick up the ass to keep doing what I'm doing and to continue to keep it real - A.K.A Marry Me Mads Style. 🫶🏻

Anyways, just wanna say I'm thinking of you lovely humans!

Also if you are thinking of getting in contact, do it sooner rather than later because my books are filling & I'm even starting to take bookings for 2025! *mind blown* 🫣🤯

All the love,
Mads x

A little kit I have been putting together as I go, for things that brides, grooms, people getting married or the bridal party might need. The panadol + antihistamines are a non negotiable, spring/summer weddings can honestly get the best of me, let alone you peeps in gowns, & suits. I’ve got your back 💅🏻⚡️

I still need:
- Mini Sewing Kit
- Mini Setting Spray
- Stain Remover Pen

If y’all have any suggestions, I am so open 😍

R U OK? 🫶

It's super important, that we take a moment to stop, think & reflect.

Are we okay? Are our mates okay?

Everyone has it tough lately, especially with the cost of living, staff shortages, lack of work, less harvest, less resources. The list goes on.

It has not been easy for anyone, so the bare minimum that we can do is ask if some one is okay or take 15 minutes to ground yourself, connect with your breathing and ask for help.

R U OK?

Today is National R U OK? Day, a day to remind us to check up on our family, friends and community around us - to check in with how they are going and create safe spaces for some meaningful yarns.

It can be as simple as asking “are you okay” or “how have you been”, these conversations can sometimes be everything for someone who is struggling. Listen with an open mind - be supportive and encourage action if needed.

There are lots of free resources on the website!! Reach out you mob and ask someone today how they are 🫶🏽💛

If you are struggling and need to reach out to someone here are some numbers you can call:

My face when a couple requests I wear sequins to their ceremony! 💃

Saturday, I had the pleasure of meeting C + B, one of the first things they said to me was…. We knew we had to meet you because we love your pretty pink sequin dress. 🙌🏻

The meeting was going amazing which then lead me to ask the most important question of all! (Not really but for the purpose of creating humour) What colour scheme would you like me to dress to? C replied with, pleasseeee wear your sequin dress. ✨🦩

I internally screamed with excitement! I calmly responded with, for you… ANYTHING!

These cuties are now locked in for October 2024. I’m so excited to make their love officially, official ⚡️❤️💒

Iconic Duos + Me as your Celebrant ⚡️

Every couple, is iconic in their own right. Whether you think that you’re not or don’t know how to be, is honestly irrelevant to me. I will find something, that is super unique about you both & glorify it to the fullest degree. 🦩

It’s what I pride myself on, finding something truely special in each individual person & how they work together with their partner/fiancé.

One of my questions that I ask couple is what is it that you want out of me and your ceremony. I will never prepare a script that is not a true representation of how you both are… because that’s weird & it would be super cringe to say that you would find your way back to each if you were in a different dimension, and you were both ghosts or something wild like that 🤯

No doll, that’s too much if you are like, hey Mads I love them because they make the best sticky date & make me feel secure in who I am. 🫶🏻

They are the Kath to My Kel, or the Jane Fonda to my Lily Tomlin. If you don’t get either of those references… I’m sorry but I’ll have to send you Wikipedia pages so you get it 🎬

Also, don’t be afraid. I wouldn’t show up to your wedding in sequins or lay on the ground, unless it was requested, as it was here. 🙊
