Marry Me Abbey

Hey lovers

It’s been awhile!
With some fresh new headshots to show off taken by the incredibly talented I thought I’d take the opportunity to check in.

So what’s been happening in Luckhurst-Luckman land? A beautiful mix of fun and chaos courtesy of my mini Queens.

I have throughly enjoyed my winter break, batteries are recharged and I am SO excited to get back into marrying the legends of Melbourne.

These headshots were taken at one of our catch up’s and in case you can’t tell from the smiles, chins and cocktails in hand… I had a terrible time… JOKES! I had the greatest time catching up with friends and making new ones whilst being wined and dined at the incredible .

To my lovers whose weddings are coming up… stay tuned for emails and for those of you having an insta stalk and are on the fence about whether I’m the celebrant for you… This photo sums me up perfectly… laughter and smiles with a side of espresso martinis… if this sounds like your vibe then get in touch.

BIG love 🤍

Our proposal story 💍

5 years ago today I was convinced Mike had heat stroke as we walked up and down the hills of Positano while he found this restaurant that he’d heard about.

Completely focused on where my next glass of prosecco was coming from (it was 30+ degrees and hydration was important) I was completely unaware of the fact that the poor guy was trying to find a restaurant with a perfect view of the ocean.

We ended up stumbling across this tiny little family restaurant who had a table outside with a view of the ocean (although Mike wasn’t happy with the positioning of the TV antenna which was a little in the way) the atmosphere was a mix of faulty towers meets dinner with your family which was a perfect match for us.

As we feasted on local dishes made lovingly by the chef who had grown up in Positano, we sipped on prosecco and took in all of the beauty that Positano had to offer.

At some moment in time an ambulance drove past with its siren blaring. As I turned to watch it drive past I said “how’s the serenity!” Only to turn back to find Mike on one knee. To which I gracefully replied “omg what in the f**k are you doing?!”
And with a “I think I’m trying to propose?” from my Mike we became engaged.

The waiter came out as we celebrated and as we conversed in broken Italian he realized what had just taken place and before we knew it more prosecco was being served as the chef made us love heart shaped Nutella Calzoni to celebrate.

With smiles that took up our whole faces we returned to the villa we were stayed at with my family to share the big news (Mum may have body combat rolled from her banana lounge to see the ring)

As we bought the local stores out of all their Prosecco we celebrated throughout the night and with calls to family and friends back home we went to bed with hearts bursting of love.

Happy proposal anniversary Michael Luckman. You couldn’t have created a more magical proposal story if you tried xx

Happy first anniversary to two of the most beautiful humans on earth.
What a first year of marriage you’ve had!

I have been struggling to find the words to write a reflection on my time spent with Sarah and Justin, as I need to make sure my words do our short journey together justice.

While I wait for the words to come, please do yourself a favor and buy a copy of today’s Herald Sun to read of the magical wedding we were able to pull together at St V’s for this beautiful couple during the strict COVID lockdown.

Sarah’s story is a reminder to all that life can be brutally short, it reminds us to always live in the moment and also serves as a very big reminder that no one is too young to get bowel cancer so make sure you listen to your bodies!

Hello lovers!! Have you missed me?
I know it’s been a long time between posts.

Whilst 2020 has thrown some epic curveballs our way that has seen so much heartache and uncertainty, it has also managed to deliver some happiness packages along the way. One being the arrival of my little miracle baby (and future celebrant in training) Evelyn Jennifer Luckman.

At 12 days of age Evie and I have had many chats about our up and coming weddings which we are SO excited to be preparing for.

With the news that Melbourne is finally taking steps in the right direction, ceremony writing and planning is in full swing.

If you are planning on getting married some time this year or in the future and are on the hunt for a very excited celebrant who is SO pumped to get back into marrying all the lovers of Melbourne then please get in touch. Either Evie or myself will respond to your enquiry 🤭
