What takes place before the wedding?
Well, first of all, we meet each other. I get to know you two, and you get to know me. This can occur as a video call or an in-person meet. I must also let you know that new regulations have come in as of July 12 2024, where I also need to meet each couple individually to ensure this marriage is as ethical as can be! Which is my favourite thing. Not only will I ensure your intentions are pure, I will also talk to you about vows and make sure everyone has their voice heard.
There are of course some forms you need to fill out and get witnessed one month before the ceremony date. Don’t let this one slip!
What goes into a ceremony?
Whatever you want. Outside of my legal introduction and your short legal vows in front of your witnesses, everything else is entirely made up, or based on tradition. You get to decide what goes into a ceremony. The only thing I won't negotiate on, is if we have an Acknowledgement of Country - that's incredibly crucial to me. I'll provide you with an overview so that there are no surprises.
Why ice-breakers?
Weddings are not always just about the couple, they are about bringing your community together. Ice-breakers are a great way to get shy people out of their shell, and get groups to mingle with each other and make beautiful unexpected connections they might not have made otherwise. It lightens the mood, and brings joy and laughter.
Will you summit a mountain, so we can have the ceremony on top?
Absolutely YES - and I know who to contact in North Queensland to help others get to the top too. I am always up for an adventure, so I have the camp gear if we need to camp somewhere the night before.
