Congratulations to D & N! A lovely day on the eve of the Winter Solstice at the gorgeous McCallum Residence.

Surrounded by family and friends, we included the bride and groom's delightful children in different parts of the ceremony.

The children took roles with the reading, a stone ritual, while the bride and groom read their vows, and presented the rings.

Did you know that sacred stones were used by Celtic people? Important vows were given at sacred places, and a stone was used to help transfer the wedding oaths to the spirit energies. It served as a bridge between the couple, ancestors, and the sacred place. Some people believe that the phrase “set in stone” comes from this act.

Winter is a fabulous time to get married!

Your ceremony can be indoors or outdoors. Just make sure you have a backup plan if it's raining. But that's the same at any time of the year!

Often, venues have more availability and charge less for their venue hire.

Why wait? Now is a great time to get married!

On Wednesday I officiated for a Nepalese couple with a registry ceremony in my garden.

The highlight was when the adoring groom kneeled, put the ring on the bride’s finger, and kissed her hand, then put her hand to his forehead.

Such deep love ❤️

It was a privilege to be their celebrant❣️

These lovelies married at my home on Good Friday! So much LOVE!

And kind words from the bride:

Brenda was an amazing celebrant!

From the very first consultation, she was responsive, organised, and really took the time to listen to what we wanted. She asked thoughtful questions about our story and created such a meaningful, personalised script for our big day.

In the lead-up to the wedding, she kept in touch regularly and made sure everything was on track, which gave us so much peace of mind.

On the day itself, Brenda was incredibly well prepared. She generously shared her space for our ceremony, gave us helpful advice on how to get great photos, and brought such a warm sense of humour that made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable.

We’re so grateful for everything she did to make our day so special—highly recommend!
