MY PLEDGE TO YOU
I will meet with you and craft a ceremony with the balance of formality, romance, even humour or spirituality that you desire. All with your input and approval. Your wedding is your special day. Together we will make it all you want it to be.

 

MAKE YOUR WEDDING
MORE THAN SNAPSHOTS

Make it a memorable ceremony
that reflects the love you feel for each other.
Formal or informal, chances are you've planned everything else about your wedding, now is the time to plan the ceremony itself. Choose a celebrant who feels good to you, listens to you and will react to your needs.

Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life, that moment when you pledge your lives to each other for life. Choose a celebrant early so that you are not left with a few choices.

WHAT YOUR VOWS MEAN
With your marriage, you are entering into solemn vows each with the other but you are creating more than a loving partnership. You are creating a legal partnership with tax, property, banking, and other implications. We recommend that you read the brochure "Happily Ever Before and After" available free here.

NOTICE OF INTENDED MARRIAGE
A completed Notice of Intended Marriage form must be lodged with your chosen authorised marriage celebrant within 18 months of and no later than one month and one day prior to your proposed marriage. You can download the form or fill it in online by using the link on the right.

When meeting with your celebrant, ensure that you have all your required documentation with you eg. birth certificates and evidence that any prior marriage has been dissolved. If you were not born in Australia, other documentation will be required. Your celebrant will also require photocopies of the original documents for filing.

WRITING YOUR VOWS.
You can write your own ceremony, copy from a book or the internet, or have the marriage celebrant write a ceremony that suits your needs, your family, and your special day. Use the links at the right to view example ceremonies - you may use or adapt any of those.

     

Love does not consist of gazing at each other,
but in looking in the same direction.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery


"Barry's contributions to our wedding vows were so loving, spiritual and heartfelt, humourous and creative. It was a day we will always cherish."
