Love these vows - more like wows! Who else loves these vibes?

This is the kind of love that doesn’t ask you to shrink your life — it expands it. The kind that doesn’t cage your freedom, but multiplies it. Love that feels like partnership, play, adventure, and choosing each other over and over again, not out of obligation, but out of desire. Not settling. Not resigning. But saying yes to a future that feels wide open because you’re walking into it together.

Marriage isn’t meant to be an ending. It’s meant to be a beginning — of shared dreams, shared courage, and shared becoming. A promise to keep exploring, to keep choosing growth over comfort, and to build a life that feels alive in every sense of the word. If love doesn’t feel like expansion, laughter, curiosity, and mutual freedom — it’s not the kind worth promising forever to. 🤍

Sometimes the only way to survive chaos is to create through it. Work, weddings, grief, deadlines, and currently a throat like a cheese grater. And still, I wrote. Here’s how spite-drafting a novel and a Christmas show kept me sane(ish).

It’s been a wild ride since I last posted. Wedding ceremonies, scripts, illness and everything in between, but through it all I’ve been immersed in stories – the ones in my head, the ones I watch and read, and the ones I see unfolding in front of me in everyday life. In the madness of life, ma...

I don't always celebrant, you know. Round about this time of year I get on the stage with my pal Tracy and share a couple of hours of festive banter with a few hundred folks. If you like your christmases daggy, fun, very Adelaide, and as comfy as a cosy cardigan (quite unnecessary in the heat, but you get my drift) come and join in. We're doing two nights this year, so your opportunities are maximised. Looking forward to seeing you there!

The most anticipated show of the Adelaide Christmas season

I've been reflecting on the old Celtic idea of the threshold, that sacred space where past and future meet. A wedding ceremony is exactly that, two people stepping forward together, weaving their golden thread of story into vows that will hold for a lifetime. I’ve written more about this in my latest blog

Spring is wedding season, and my days are happily full of ceremonies. From paddocks and meadows to gardens and vineyards, I’ve been writing, rehearsing, and standing alongside couples as they speak their vows.For me, a wedding is always more than an event. It is a threshold, a moment where two liv...

And in December it was Alex and Sophie's turn for a picture-perfect day at the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. Like all of my weddings it was special in its own way, and also like all of my weddings it was a totally huge celebration of love, and you cannot get any better than that! Thanks to Dancraft Films for this gorgeous sizzle reel!

Sophie and Lee's big day was so special. An elopement with only five of us there - the bride and groom, their lovely friend and photographer Ramsay of Ramsay Taplin Photography, me, and my trusty roadie Steven who on this occasion was also flower girl, holder of flowers/script/handfasting cords as the need applied. And Steven and Ramsay were the two witnesses. We all just wandered around the property, found a beautiful spot for the ceremony, and had a beautiful wedding and hand fasting. And to cap it all off, the bride and groom got changed into their comfy clothes and cooked us all dinner. A totally dreamy day and filled with so much heart and love.
