SL Wedding Celebrant
I am a young, modern, friendly guy. That nice guy next door type who after one meeting, it feels like we’ve known each other for a life time. I may even borrow a cup of sugar on occasion.
In 2011, some friends asked me if I could help out with their wedding. Being the good samaritan that I am, I said I would be delighted. I’d be happy to set up the chairs, hand out the ceremony booklets or even be MC.
My task? To marry the couple.
I was gobsmacked, honoured and a little overwhelmed. This would involve late night studies, donning a suit and a potential change in my career path.
What could I say but yes?!
The good news is, my friends are still happily married. And I am still a marriage celebrant and loving it.
I also happen to be married myself and have been through this wedding drama before, so I can appreciate what you might be going through.
And in case you’re interested, I’ve been trapezing, trekking through Nepal, snowboarding in Canada and I can make great kids’ party balloons. I’m also a social worker and counsellor by profession but my best moments are when I spend time with my beautiful wife and children.
I have had the privilege of marrying couples in huts, fields and on boats. I have had couples request I dress up to varying themes which I also have loved.
Finally, being a celebrant is a privilege. I have a front row seat to a couple to want to spend the rest of their lives with one another and for that, I am extremely thankful.
