Hey everyone. For those that are new around here, welcome. Iām Toni š
With a fresh year and a lot of newly engaged faces popping up, I thought Iād do a proper little hello and share a few things about me that arenāt all wedding related.
I have an unhealthy Pepsi Max addiction. Always have, probably always will. Zero regrets.
And if thereās a bowl of chocolate-covered sultanas nearby, I will absolutely be involved.
Fun fact from my childhood. In place of normal sports, I was a competitive ten-pin bowler growing up. Very serious stuff at the time. These days, a strike is rare. I did once have a bridesmaid recognise me from my bowling days though, which was a wild throwback I did not see coming.
I have a few quirks. I wear shoes all the time. Inside, outside, as Iām writing thisā¦ always. Unless Iām sleeping. I donāt love anything touching my feet.
That said, once I find a pair of shoes I like, I wear them into the ground. Introducing new shoes into my rotation is a whole process.
Iām also a mum. I have a 13-year-old daughter, Kiana, which often surprises people. I was a pretty young mum, and everyone keeps warning us about the teenage girl attitude, but so far sheās still very nice to us. Fingers crossed that lasts as long as possible.
And I have a 10-year-old son, Tayo, who is absolutely convinced youāll see him on TV one day. Heās determined to be a professional AFL player, which means a lot of training, a lot of running around, and very full afternoons.
Outside of weddings, Iām a total early bird. Between kidsā schedules, sport, dance, and family life, an early night is something I treasure more than I probably should.
And yes, I am a celebrant. I love what I do. I love meeting couples, telling their stories, and being part of such a big moment in their lives. But at the end of the day, Iām just a normal human who likes organised plans, relaxed vibes, and a good laugh along the way.
If youāre newly engaged and finding your feet in all things wedding planning, Iām really glad youāre here š¤
