Civil Marriage Celebrant

 

 Ceremonies - Marriages

Creating the perfect wedding ceremony is a time-consuming exercise. It needs careful planning and energy and it's going to need a celebrant that you feel comfortable and confident with, who can guide you through the maze of options available.

You and your partner have decided to get married. It's a wonderful decision and your wedding day should be an occasion you will remember for the rest of your lives. There are only two elements essential to a legally binding wedding - the vows or promises you make to one another and the proclamation by the celebrant that you are legally married. All the other elements are optional. You are only limited by your imagination and that of your celebrant. You will also want to remember a wedding ceremony that reflects your own values, feelings and beliefs - not someone else's.

It will be my pleasure to help create a wedding ceremony for you, based on your thoughts about marriage and the kind of relationship you are committed to. Remember, this is your wedding and you should plan the ceremony that you want.

The ceremony itself may be as traditional or contemporary as you wish. You are encouraged to write your own vows or choose and alter examples I can provide. I will prepare a draft ceremony for your consideration and offer as much contact time as you wish. This can include personal meetings, telephone conversations and e-mail.

Your ceremony can take place anywhere within Australia or Australian Territorial waters, at any time, day or night.

Contact Michelle to start planning your wedding ceremony.


 Renewal of Vows Ceremonies

You have chosen to be together for a few or many years. You would like to tell your husband or wife and a few close friends, that you're well and truly committed. A really special way to do that is with a "Renewal of Vows" ceremony. You can follow the format of your original wedding, or create a ceremony to reflect the life you have created together.

For information about renewing your vows please contact Michelle.


A star is
shining in my
heart.

My dreams have
wings that touch
the sky.

I'd marry you a
thousand times-

I'll love you till
the day I die.
