This is your amazing day, and I would love to share with you all the joy fun and laughter that is possible to have in creating your day and your wedding!!
I absolutely love being a Celebrant and am honoured that I can perform your ceremony and give you the best possible day that stands out in your memories forever, as well as for all your family and friends.
I don't think you can have laughter without tears, as they just heighten the moment and give you and your family recollections for years to come!
You may wish to include something about 'how you both met', which can add joy to the wedding party, often laughter, thus creating a beautiful blissful day.
I want to make 'your wedding day' exactly as you imagine it to be!
You special Naming Ceremony is a beautiful way for your child to be celebrated by you and your family and friends.
The Naming Ceremony creates a space for everyone to come together and celebrate either a birth or a special welcome into a new family from adopting parents. This Rite of Passage is unique to each and every family, as you create the ceremony to include your lives and your memories for this beautiful occasion.
It is also a wonderful idea to include members of your family in the celebration, either older children or grandparents to make this day truly wonderful. Older children or grandparents can be involved in readings, poetry or simply acting as a mentor or guardian for your child.
You may also like to choose a symbol for your Naming Ceremony, like the lighting of a candle, or the offering of a rose to each Grandparent or Guardian.
In different cultures around the world Naming Ceremonies are performed differently. Names are important to bring good fortune. It is important to tell your family and guests at the ceremony why you have chosen this name, and its significance. This can be explained in the ceremony.
Adults too, may choose to have a naming ceremony for various reasons, but mainly because they didn't experience a formal welcome ceremony in their childhood. You can also have a ceremony simply to celebrate a new stage in your life!
Naming Certificates are usually presented to the child and other special members of the family during this ceremony.
The most perfect place for your ceremony is at home or in your local park. Most ceremonies take place outside, but it's always best to have a covered area close by, in case of rain.
This ceremony does not replace the need for you to register your baby's birth.

The Renewal of your Vows is a beautiful way to view the journey of your marriage with all the amazing moments that have made it yours!
You can also attach meaningful anniversaries such as your 10th or 50th, or whatever comes inbetween.
It is also a lovely way to catch up with family and friends that may have been at your original ceremony and include them and your renewal celebrations.
Other reasons for creating a Renewal of Vows Ceremony is when extended families that were not present at your wedding would love to now be part of your celebrations and witness your marriage promises.
Some couples just want to awaken their love for each other, and now they can also include members of their family to take part in this special day.
You can choose an intimate space with just your immediate family or have a party with many guests.
Whatever you choose, I would be privileged to help you celebrate your lives together, now filled with fabulous memories as you look towards a beautiful future!
Commitment ceremonies are 'Celebrations of Life'.
These ceremonies are ideal for couples who want to celebrate their commitment to each other, without the traditions of marriage, and to rejoice in their love for each other.
Your ceremony should reflect your life together and your personality. This is your day, so make it your own!
You may like to include friends and family, as readers or witnesses to your exchange of rings or other unity symbols, and include extracts from special poems or songs that hold great meaning to you and your partner.
I would love to be part of your Commitment ceremony and help you make it your own!
"I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you."
