6 YEARS A CELEBRANT 💕 MARRYING COUPLES SINCE 2020
It's my 'Cele-versary' 🥂 six whole years since, after a year of study and jumping through the many application hoops, the notification arrived from the Attorney-General's Department telling me I was now a Registered Marriage Celebrant.
💚
And what a ride it's been since then.
💚
The folks I've laughed and cried with: couples, family, guests, and vendors alike.
The stories I've heard, and been trusted to tell.
The beautiful spectrum of ceremonies I've conducted, from tiny, intimate, top-secret elopements to crowds-of-people-cheering weddings.
💚
The places I've married people!
Under trees; by the beach;
in pubs, parks and private homes;
in cafes, wineries, restaurants;
in backyards, Airbnbs and hotel rooms.
The pets I've fussed over, the babies I've held,
the parents I've hugged, the kids I've chatted with.
My couples are rule-breakers who don't want to be pressured into having a wedding that doesn't reflect who they are. They care more about their marriage than their wedding. They are clear on their values and they are always, always, wonderful people.
It's been an honour and a privilege to marry all of you.
Thank you for welcoming me into your lives, sharing your hearts and trusting me.
I wrote a blog post on my second cele-versary that still rings true today: https://www.sallybrucecelebrant.com.au/post/celebrant-for-intimate-non-traditional-perth-elopements-weddings
