The Jolley Celebrant

08/08/2025

Boy meets girl—with a twist: in 2015, Pat fell for De, the younger sister of his next-door neighbour and spent months inventing excuses just to cross paths in the front yard.

After a slow-burn friendship and a bold Facebook message from De, a first date sealed their undeniable connection over laughs and cannoli.

From a kiss outside her house to a gym-floor confession to his friend Nathan “I think she could be the one”, they’ve been inseparable ever since.

Looking forward to officiating my cousin, Nick’s wedding tomorrow! I have no doubt he’ll scrub up just as well in his tux 🤵‍♂️

Absolute legends - is how I would describe Ash and Soph. Bringing their wedding to life was so much fun.

On the day, they had incredible energy and the ceremony was filled with plenty of laughs and a whole lot of love! Marrying this amazing couple in front of their family and friends was truly special!

Thanks Ash and Soph!

Luke and Lisa first met way back in the summer of 2009, working at Osmosis in Doncaster. During their time at Osmosis there were many epic birthday celebrations and light-hearted soccer showdowns shared with friends, but it was after a trip to Mexico with their besties in 2016 where Luke and Lisa’s strong friendship really formed.

Eight months after their trip, Luke decided to put it all on the line and ask Lisa out on a date. Whilst there was a slightly humorous ending to date number one (that they still laugh about today), it didn’t stop the incredible relationship that would follow.

Since then Lisa and Luke have created countless cherished memories, travelling and camping but perhaps the biggest highlight is the enjoyment of being in one another’s company. 

Two truly great and fun-loving people who I had the pleasure of marrying back in August.

Symon and Gab's heartfelt words are a reminder of how fortunate I am to be able to pursue the work I love.

And that's a hat trick! I married Luke (far left) and his beautiful bride Lisa last weekend – a fun-loving duo who live for adventure and good times.

This crew of friends is seriously something else and this marks my third time officiating for the lovebirds in this tight-knit circle. Duncan (second from left) and Cody (far right) also had me be the voice of their ceremonies.

It was an absolute privilege to officiate the legal ceremony for Thilini and Naveed in April this year. An intimate ceremony with those close to them including their son. Bride and groom both looking incredible in their wedding outfits!

Most couples hope for sunshine on their wedding day. For Samantha and Chris they got plenty, with Melbourne producing a 38 degree day.

But even a heatwave couldn’t wipe the smiles of their faces and they shared a beautiful wedding with family, friends and their gorgeous daughter at the stunning Conservatory.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness ❤️
