Nikita Bell - Marriage Celebrant

Jen and Nick 🥹
They had that beautiful “we just want to be married” energy.
I'm still kinda mad that they gave me SO MANY good stories, yet insisted on a very short ceremony - because I could have happily talked about them a lot longer than I did 😂

They wanted short and sweet, but I still managed to squeeze in a few of their gorgeous stories, and having their family come up afterwards to tell me how much they loved hearing things they’d never heard before was such a special moment.

Weddings like this will always be some of my favourites. When a couple feels more like friends than clients, I feel so relaxed and confident, and I get to really enjoy being part of the day alongside them.

The day I helped Dane marry his sister.

Before anyone gets too stressed… Dane was marrying his sister Brittany to Matt. 😂 I was just the behind-the-scenes accomplice.

Dane and I had approximately 847 emails back and forth brainstorming the ceremony and tweaking things, and we even had a rehearsal.

On the day, Dane was calm, confident, organised and completely nailed the ceremont on the day.

Britt and Matt specifically wanted Dane to be the one standing up there telling their story.

It was so special hearing from Dane's perspective. He wasn’t just telling us what Brittany and Matthew are like. He was sharing the little things you could only know when you’ve watched someone grow up, seen their relationship unfold, and been part of their lives for years.
You could feel how much it meant to Brittany and Matthew to have him up there with them 🥹

So yes, technically I helped Dane marry his sister.

10/10 would professionally facilitate sibling marriage again.
(To other people. Obviously.) 😂❤️

Today, I have the absolute honour of marrying my 200th couple! 🥹

Just over five years of doing this, and I cannot believe how lucky I am.

What better way to celebrate than by marrying the most wonderful couple, at one of my favourite venues, , with the sweetest photographer, . What more could I possibly ask for?!

200 times I’ve been trusted with one of the most important days of someone’s life. I’m so incredibly grateful.

Thank you to every couple who has trusted me with their wedding day, invited me into their story and let me do this job I love so much.

Thank you to all the wonderful vendors I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working alongside over the years, especially those who have become friends.

And, of course, thank you to my husband for holding down the fort while I’m off marrying people all weekend, and supporting this little business of mine every step of the way.

One of the most magical days I know I will never forget.
Writing their ceremony was such an honour - it told a story about paying attention, and knowing someone so well that loving them became instinctive.

These two just radiated love and joy - it w a such a special day!

I have spent way too much time trying to think of the perfect caption for these photos...

Do I talk about how bloody honoured I am to have been chosen to be the celebrant for and Tom?

Or how I feel like I had permanent goosebumps all day because of the amount of love radiating from every single one of their guests?

Should I write about how Eryn looked so beautiful that I nearly cried SO MANY TIMES?

Or how ridiculously easy it was to stand up there and tell the story of two people who are so completely and wholeheartedly in love? But also how intimidating it was to ne the celebrant for another celebrant (even though Eryn was a wonderful and relaxed bride!)

I could probably write 5000 words about this day and still not quite capture it.

So I’ll just say this:

Eryn and Tom, thank you for trusting me with such a special part of your story. It was an absolute bloody privilege. 🤍

Your marriage is so much more important than the wedding.

Which probably isn’t the best thing for a celebrant to say… 😂

But your wedding is only one day. So focus on the things that make you feel good, that you’ll actually remember.

Prioritise your time, energy and budget around your values - not everyone else’s expectations of what a wedding is supposed to look like.

I know that a wedding is one of the only times in life you might have everyone you love in the same place. But if the thought of that feels overwhelming rather than exciting, maybe it’s worth stepping back and asking yourself what you actually want.

There is no prize for having the biggest or prettiest wedding, after its all over, there’s just the marriage.

Also, 10/10 recommend eloping- we did, and I wouldn't change a thing!

Thank you for the photos, taken at featuring beautiful florals by
