The most important part of the ceremony is the vow

The most important part of the ceremony is the vows itself. When you are writing them down, make sure to be authentic, and comment about what it is you love about your significant other. Always keep your vows a secret of course, don’t stress and be careful, honest but not too honest as should always keep it clean due to who might be in the audiences you know. 💍

Wedding cake rarely gets eaten.
When it comes to the end of the meal, people are full, they've had a few drinks and they're more interested in dancing than sweets.

What if I told you there was a better time to serve your cake?

You can serve your wedding cake straight after the ceremony, with a glass of bubbly, so guests are occupied while you sneak off for photos.

This also means your cake cutting photos are taken outdoors in natural light, while your makeup still looks fresh.

Cake after dinner is old school.
Cake after 'I do' is modern and fun.💃🏽

As a Celebrant I believe that getting to know my bride and groom is such an important part of the job. Many people tend to dismiss the importances and beauty of the ceremony, hence why choosing the right celebrant is very important.

When you select the right celebrant for you, it is important that as a celebrant they are able to translate and create your dream wedding with all your own personal touches.🌹

So, you were planning your dream wedding, the best day of your life, for 2021, I really feel for you – that sucks! Sending you a big (socially distanced) hug!

Whilst we never could have foreseen this, and I know you are probably as confused as I am with regards to your options, and without a crystal ball, this is what we are working with right now.

I will do my best to help provide whatever insights and advice I can.
In general the industry is being flexible where they can, of course they are also struggling right now as well, so we can try to reach a compromise that means you still get to have the day of your dreams (if a little later or different than you planned) and they still get business.

I DO! Round two.
Some cold, hard facts that 50% of marriages end in divorce, which also means 50% of marriages succeed but sometimes not on the first go.

Life happens, you grow older and apart, and passions is spent and your marriage became deadly war of attrition. (A bit hyperbolic but great reference right?)

Despite the separation of your first marriage doesn’t discard the fact you can find love once again.
One thing I know about life that we all get second chances.
It could mean so many things from getting another job, finding another house but most of all, getting the chance to fall in love once and for all.

Wedding Tip -
The chances are good you’ve already got some idea of where you want to exchange your vows.
It is very common for couples in Australia want to be married outside, for example in a gorgeous garden or on the beach with the sound of waves crashing against the sand. It’s a beautiful setting but it may not be right for everyone.

Consider your guest as sand can be challenging for older guest or if you want to wear heels. Look at the distance people may walk to reach the ceremony location.

I want to reintroduce myself. My name is Mandi and I am an accredited and fully trained Marriage Celebrant, since 2006.
Based in Brisbane and I love ALL weddings, love is love right?

The fact I also run a travel company specialising in romance travel and destination weddings means I am in love with others being in love, being part of that day and all the fun that goes with that.

I celebrate diversity, and enjoy multicultural and ceremonies of all kinds. I also help celebrate other events, such as naming ceremonies, renewal of vows, commitment ceremonies and all of life’s celebrations🥂
