Marry Me, Memily

19/02/2025

Every celebrant has a work wishlist of some kind or another. If they say they don’t, they’re lying. I love numbers and dates, so when Sam and Bec said they were getting married on New Year’s Eve and did I want to join them, and I said, BOY HOWDY, DO I EVER.

Some celebrants wind up marrying boring couples.
Me?
Nah, not me.
I get to marry couples like Chenxin and Matthew. 😎

Josh and Liv are another couple I’m so lucky to have been able to help get hitched just the way they wanted.
Is your vibe the same as Josh and Liv’s? Is it around the kitchen table in your comfies, no pressure, just besties and giraffes and forevers?
Nice.
(I’m good at those!)

Ah, we have fun.

Been two years since Meg, Brenton and I had a giggle in front of their nearest and dearest!

✨

And now less than a year to go till Meg’s sister and her gorgeous girl and I have a giggle, too. It’s one of the highest compliments a celebrant can possibly receive—it says I’m doing the right thing by the people to whom it matters most. 🥰

Em and Brodie did an incredibly smart thing when planning their wedding and that was deciding that while their ‘𝘸𝘦𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨’ would be in Vietnam, their legal marriage would be around their kitchen table before their trip.

If you’re living in Australia, your life will be much easier having a marriage certificate from Australia, too, than having an international document that yes, will 99.5% certainly be accepted as certified proof of marriage… but anywhere you need to 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 that proof is gonna recognise an Australian document a lot faster than any other country’s. And that’s not even taking translation into account, if it’s not in English.

Don’t make silly decisions.
Be like Em and Brodie.

Em and Brodie are so smart. Also cool, and fun, and while I just know I would have adored telling their love story (aka getting every bit of goss about their relationship that I possibly can because I love hearing stories as much as I love telling them), I was just as content to get to meet them at all, and to help them tick the right boxes before getting on the plane.

Reckon they might be stoked about just having gotten married? Maybe it’s just the bubbles.

NOVEMBER!
Flick and Fi (the classic Best Friends to Lovers trope) dodged and weaved a bunch of rainclouds for an absolute corker of an afternoon with their loved ones and the remarkable view from Hidden Garden Estate.
And at some point during the ceremony I leapt off the deck and said “PARKOUR” and that should hopefully be the first AND last time I ever do that.
Anyway, FLICK AND FI ARE MARRIED NOW!!! Happy 2-monthiversary my babes, see you over a burger some time x

Somebody needs to have a chat to these delinquents regarding appropriate wedding footwear.

(Happy 3-monthiversary, Jess & Simon 😘)

OCTOBER!
Jess and Simon got married in the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens amongst a sea of picnic rugs and smiling faces… and unfortunately not nearly enough sunscreen. It was a surprisingly spicy day, to the point that Jess began a collection of photos she’d been sent of people’s sunburns. (I did not go unscathed.) Probably the only blip on an otherwise kinda perfect day, tbqh. 10/10, would wed again.

Unsure exactly where 2025 came from but we’re halfway through January and I am sitting on so many piccies and stories from the start of the season. Oops. Or yay?

Look how excited I am about sharing piccies and stories!!!

(Actually I was just papped by being excited about Nicole and Yee Lin’s first dance slash flashmob, but it’s an A+ photo and kinda evergreen as far as my excitement levels go.)

Happy happy happy first anniversary to these two 10/10 stunners, my last married couple for 2023! Genuinely cannot believe it’s been an entire year. Does anyone know where 2024’s gone? I hope it’s been an excellent one for Amelia and Jo, anyway. 💖

One of my proudest moments, only two years into celebranting around the country—proposing the idea of a roaming ceremony, leading them and their closest few let in on their secret elopement. We ducked and weaved, at times accidentally drawing a crowd, as Bec looked very much to be A Part Of All This in her red and black Oscar de la Renta number. WOOF!

And then the finale, that fiery kiss. What a shot. What timing! What an absolute highlight.

I wouldn’t say there’s anything traditional about me, truth be told. And isn’t that bloody excellent? 😌🦄

Hello, everyone! Don’t mind me, just dusting things off around here…

Things are ticking away to keep the winter chills at bay and what that means is that I have painstakingly sorted through five years worth of wedding photos supplied by incredible photographers, with great thanks and love to my couples who’ve been happy to share with me.

Everything now has its own delicious category, so I can put up little collections like this one. Had to start strong, you know? This album’s just called DOGS; the best/most chaotic wedding guests (and sometimes even I Do Crew members 🥰).

What do you reckon? Would your dog be a part of your day?

Lisa and Thomas got married on Saturday at Tom’s mum’s house with a small handful of their loved ones and it was just SO lovely, I tell ya.

I love marrying couples who are legit obsessed with each other and also clearly have a healthy, communicative and supportive relationship. Reminds me to keep my own standards up, yanno? Marriage isn’t a life box to tick, babes—it’s a celebration of something top tier, and if it’s anything less then are you sure you really want it?

Tom and Lisa? Top tier. ❤️‍🔥

They say when you know you know… and I knew when I first laid eyes on that it was the expo for me. 🥰 Absolutely stoked to announce that I’ll be one of a handful of invited vendors at Tassie’s inaugural non-traditional Til Death Wedding Expo!

I don’t think anything about the lil space I’m cultivating in this industry could be deemed traditional in any sense of the word. Just ask the guests who take one look at the purple-haired, tattooed, fat and funny babe up the front and think… for real? Are we sure this is the right person for the job?

Don’t worry. I‘ve won 98% of them over by the time I leave, through no effort of my own apart from doing my job (that I love and am good at) to the very best of my ability, every dang time for five years now. FIVE YEARS. 😳

Tell your friends. Especially the ones who are disgustingly in love but haven’t done anything legally binding about it yet. Reckon they’ll have a pretty fu***ng epic time under the Cathedral (lol) on Sunday 13th October with us. Subscribe to Til Death Wedding Expo’s mailing list to get access to early bird tickets THIS THURSDAY. 🔥✨
