I was just in Office Works and noticed the Wedding invites priced to clear. Great way to save a few dollars for your wedding budget.

This is a very unfortunate side of our wonderful celebrant role. You can check a celebrant is registered (feel free to search for me at any time!), on the Attorney General's website.

One of my favourite movies, with two of my favourite actors!

It’s been 15 years since Margaret Tate asked Andrew to marry her in The Proposal! We wonder if any of the 7,330 Canadians on temporary visas here will fall in love with an Aussie? 💍🇦🇺🇨🇦

These zero-proof sips are 100% celebratory.

My parents with their wonderful celebrant, who married them in December 1975, only 2.5 years after the Celebrant program started.

Wonderful to have the very first appointed celebrant Mrs Lois D’Arcy at the AFCC Conference.

19/07/2023

**Today, we celebrate 50 years of the celebrant program in Australia**

The first appointed celebrant was Mrs Lois D’Arcy on the 19th of July 1973. It is rumoured in the dead of the night, Attorney General Lionel Murphy, typed the appointment himself, found the envelope and stamp and walked to the post box and posted it!

The program was Murphy’s vision and he made radical (for the time) steps by appointing women (ceremonies up to them had been provided by men), he appointed aborigines, he appointed young people.

He went onto say people could choose their celebrant (unheard of before!) and his goal was that celebrating the milestones of life was just as important for secular people as it was for religious people.

So Cheers to Lionel 🥂

Just picked up my registration pack for the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants Conference in our Nations Capital.
Looking forward to two days of interesting and inspiring speakers, some tips and tricks and finishing with the Gala dinner celebrating 50 years of the celebrant program in Australia.
