Hi Sweethearts. So exciting!!!
Okay so firstly, you do not need to have personalised vows if you don't want them. You can say the legal vows (a grand total of 21 words) and be done with it. However, adding in personal vows brings so much depth and meaning to a ceremony. It’s also the part of the ceremony...
Well hello there. I get it, I really really get it. Surely $2500 is too much money to pay for a celebrant? Aren't they only there for 20 minutes on the day anyway?
WRONG! A very common misconception with celebrant work, or really any performance based work, is that the celebrant (or musician, or dancer, etc) only has to rock up on the day, read their script and be on their merry way...
So you’re getting married, you’ve seen the stereotypical weddings and you’re just not that keen on doing things how they’ve always been done?
I get it, and the good news is, there is no singular way to get married in Australia. Legally, I (your celebrant) must say 73 words, and you (the couple) must say 21 words. These words need to be witnessed by 2 adults (willing and sober, mind you), some paperwork must be signed and then voila! You’re married! That’s literally it...
