MIND WANDERING WALKS ✨ I first heard of this term while reading Johann Hari’s life changing book, Stolen Focus. They’re purposeful walks with nothing in your ears, allowing your mind to go anywhere and everywhere*

Sometimes my mind goes to to-do lists or ‘I must text that person back’, other times I get inspo for an insta post or story or a ceremony draft and yesterday I was mentally creating my 50th birthday celebration (not for 2.5 years mind you lol) and I was so into it I got teary with how lovely it felt.

Highly recommend getting out without earbuds - even leave your phone at home - and see what your clever, profound, distraction free mind delivers.

Today for me it was this post 😂 so here I am showing up and giving thanks to my intuition and mind-wandering-walk spirit guides 😆🙏🏻

*he actually says to leave your dog at home too but how can I explain that to Joey so he comes and helps me stay slow and wandery

CONNECTION ✨ for your guests, a WDW ceremony won’t feel like a sermon or a performance. It’ll feel like they’re *in it*.

I love to acknowledge the guests as a group and make them all feel super special. I also love to shout out to the VIPs present and past. Even if a guest doesn’t get mentioned personally, they’ll know someone who is mentioned by name and that makes them feel warm and fuzzy. As many people as we can make feel part of it, the better.

For the couple, it’ll feel like a warm, relaxed, loving dinner party where they are the hosts but they dont have to do anything, just soak it all up.

I like to think of it as a big circle of loving community where all of us feel connected to each other and to the special-ness of the event we are a part of. How lucky lucky lucky we are ❤️

These magic photos by at to me really capture the connectedness of Tori and Liam’s beautiful community. It is no small thing to facilitate the vibe that carries on through the whole night ❤️

Just a small business owner/love story teller trying to make the most of her premium Canva subscription, always thinking about thinking about what I’m reading next and when I’ll next get to yoga. Forever chasing joy and signs and feelgood feelings (to balance a sense of injustice/woe at world events).

But seriously, what are you watching?

✨NANS AS WITNESSES ✨

Witnessing is the best job of the wedding IMO (super easy but heaps of glory), so if you’ve got a lovely Nan, please ask her!

It is so spesh to see them have their moment up there in front of everyone. It turns everyone - including me - to mush.

As an added bonus, they also tend to have the nicest, most lovely and proper cursive signatures that look really excellent on your certificate.

Since I started as a celebrant 10 years ago, I’ve always had my price on my website. I’m a big fan of transparent pricing when I’m shopping for services. So this is all on my webby but I made a post to save the mindless scrollers an extra click 😆

No matter which one of these you choose, I can promise you that you’ll leave feeling wonderfully loved up and however many guests you have, they’ll feel the same ✨❤️

Thanks to my lovely for the beautiful photos always 😍

Not gonna lie, when I see guests’ red, cry-y eyes at the end of the ceremony, I give myself a lil’ pat on the back 😆 As if you don’t wanna have a good cry at a wedding.

It’s a privilege to create a safe space that allows and encourages people to feel and express their feelings.

The same goes for the couples, tears are welcome and encouraged. I see tears as beautiful & cleansing and they do not need to be suppressed. It’s a big, beautiful moment. Feel it all ❤️

Thanks to my darlings Felix and Georgie who have given me so much gold quote content with their review, I could be posting quotes for weeks. A dream ❤️✨

You won’t find me in many of your wedding photos.

I like to be off to the side for 90% of the ceremony, and when you’re saying your vows, the mic is yours 🎤

Imagine if I was third wheeling here 😝🙈it’s way cuter when it’s just Rach supporting her beloved Marcus through his vows and me off to the side having a proud mum moment 😍 nailed it .morley_ ❤️

thanks for capturing this lovely ceremony moment so beautifully .runaway.hearts

Sometimes you meet a couple through your laptop screen who radiate warmth and joy. People you somehow feel you’ve known forever.

Kat & Luke were two such people. Forever grateful for the algorithm, the marketing, the Google and whatever combo of things I don’t really understand that led these two to me ❤️

So lovely to work with the wonderful on this one, gorgeousss blooms by at the glorious

Ceremony excerpt from 2021:

‘When asked to describe what marriage means to him, Michael said he sees it a big ‘up yours’ to the patriarchy who have deemed the public declaration of love in relationships like theirs as ‘less than’ for so long.

He said, our love is just worthy, important, special and lasting as anyone else’s.

In Michael Ryan’s exact words, ‘f**k em’.”

Cue electrified cheers, claps and laughs from the 180 strong adoring guests ✊🏼 a ceremony moment to never, ever forget.

Cute fun fact: when I asked last week for ceremony highlights from my past couples, both Michael and Michael unknowingly answered the call within minutes of each other with the exact same thing: ‘f*ck the patriarchy’ 😂✊🏼

You two have stillll got it. One of the all time great wedding moments of the last 10 years

More ceremony nostalgia to come 🥰

VIBES ✨ I’m all about creating a vibe and an energy with your ceremony that you and your guests take with you through the whole dang night.

A good celebrant does so much more than get you married. They start your whole wedding day. Choose carefully. Find someone who matches the energy you want to feel on your day.

Nat and Marcus are an Exhibit A WDW couple who had an Exhibit A WDW ceremony.

It’s like they were AI generated just for meeeeee 😍😍😍 I’m just crazy about you two

The best team on this one (below vendors also 100% contribute to the good vibes!)

My ultimate goal when it comes to delivering your ceremony is to make you feel relaxed and at ease.

Sitting down for an online chat with me should feel easy, fun and comfortable and I hope you’ll feel that exact way on your wedding day too.

We’ll just be in nicer clothes and I’ll be wearing some make up. That’s the main difference 😂

I’ll set the tone in the beginning with the housekeeping to let the guests know the ceremony is relaxed, and they are encouraged to contribute to the vibe by getting involved with claps, laughs, cheers and tears.

Shoulders drop, people cheer and they too, will feel at ease knowing exactly what to expect.

Energy and vibes are contagious and carry through your whole wedding day. If your guests are relaxed, you’ll feel that too. It’s an upward cycle ✨

This quote from the gorgeous .parrish and .chynoweth goes down in the history books as one of my favourites ever. Sitting down with (and later marrying) you two was a joy I’ll never forget ❤️

I’m unashamed to be super excited about your love story and getting to be the one to tell it. Also proud to be a little bit zen master. Not a whole lot rattles me.

Joyful excitement balanced with a purposeful sense calm is what I aim to bring for you and your guests.

Thanks for getting it 😘🎉🙌🏼
