A really lovely couple who only had a very small wedding 14 years ago always intended to have a really special ceremony and reception when they could afford it. Friday was the day! It was the happiest occasion imaginable...so much love, laughter and smiles...beautiful children, a stunning 'bride', a handsome 'groom' and immaculate bridal party...with a ceremony overlooking the ocean. The guest register was a special book I created for them tracing their 14 years together. And did everyone enjoy it? You bet. The couple have just emailed me to say, "We both just wanted to thank you again for the amazing job you did with the ceremony and the book. Everything was perfect." Thank you guys, I enjoyed every single second with you.

The groom and groomsmen arrived in immaculate suits and akubra hats - riding high on camels. The bridal party swept along the long dirt road to a specially built rotunda by the Hunter River in an array of perfectly restored Cobb & Co coaches. Apart from some skittish Shetland ponies all went according to plan. A petrol generator ensured music and sound from the PA as the young couple pledged their commitment. And, the final touch of creativity, as a token of her love the bride had her fingerprint etched into her husband's wedding band. A life story book about the person you love is the best gift not only for the person whose life is featured - but for all the generations yet to come. But finding someone who can do this for you is hard to find - only a few people around the world specialise in writing life stories. I not only write them but I produce beautiful hand-bound books telling their story in both words and pictures.There is still time to make an appointment to have your book ready for Christmas. For an older person who already has everything they want and need - this makes the BEST Christmas gift. I can even create a ceremony similar to This is Your Life in which you can present the book to your loved one. Phone Rebecca now on 0401 808 335 to ensure this Christmas is one of memories that last forever... I'm starting work on a unique guest register for a beautiful South African girl's wedding. She was married recently in South Africa then had another wedding celebration in Zimbabwe where her husband comes from. The guest register, with an array of beautiful images plus the story of how the couple met and their time together so far, will be used at their Australian wedding celebration. Family and friends overseas will also be able to sign it. There will certainly be no other commercially available guest register to match it! There is so much in life to be celebrated but we in Australia tend to downplay our successes. Special moments pass us all too fast, and if we don't plan to celebrate them, they get forgotten in the rush of everyday life.Is your son or daughter coming into adolescence or adulthood? If so, what are you doing about it? Is a parent about to reach a significant birthday? Have you just bought a house or a boat? Are you retiring or just got a great new job? All these occasions deserve to be celebrated in style. As a civil celebrant I delight in creating memorable ceremonies to celebrate the moment; to raise the occasion from mundane to meaningful...So contact me if an important occasion risks passing you by and find out how I can help make it fun, memorable and truly sensational... |
