I love meeting new people - and have been privileged recently to meet several lovely young couples who want me to conduct their wedding ceremonies. And it's so special when they contact me after we've met and say how much they enjoyed meeting me too. One couple said there was no way they wanted anyone other than me to conduct the ceremony on their special day! I just adore creating a ceremony that is unique to the couple and which is just what they want.  I am getting more pleasure out of making people happy than anything else I  have ever done in my life - apart from bringing up my beautiful daughter of course!

Not only do I adore helping create ideal ceremonies for people - I just love being there with them on the day. And when I receive feedback like this, understandably I feel ecstatic! 
"We were so honoured with your presence, expertise and absolute true passion for what you do...we thank you for the amazing ceremony… really!  It exceeded my romantic imagination, which is huge!  Everyone commented and complemented on the amazing delivery and structure of the event, how unique it was... you have a niche in the market.”

Chinese whispers and fascinating facts

Historically Chinese brides were shielded from their future husbands until the ceremony with a middle man cementing the rather lengthy engagement. The parents of the prospective couple controlled the negotiations. Once a man found a woman he wanted to marry, the go-between would present gifts to the girl's parents. The auspicious nature of the match based on their birth date and hours would be reviewed as choosing a lucky time and date of the wedding ceremony. More recently my Chinese friends in Malaysia go through so many pre-wedding rituals - one that's the most fun, friends and family shielding the bride-to-be from her future groom. In some cases he is made to climb over the roof of her home, answer impossible questions from the girls and do incredible tasks before being allowed to be united with his fiance!
