Conducting my son's wedding.
loving, kind, romantic, funny, likeable
I deliver what I promise and always go the extra mile to make your day extremely special
Remember its your day and it should be your way.
Carrying out the first kiss last kiss with mothers involved
I meet with the couple either face to face or on zoom. I talk to them about what I as a Celebrant can do and explain the legal aspect that they have to do as celebrant at this time cannot carry out the legal aspect that being the marriage. I gather information about the type of ceremony they want and who is involved from who is giving away, best man, bridesmaid's etc. I share the type of special extras they can include. I gather information about their love story how they met. We discuss all aspects of the wedding including vows, music, readings, poems, religious or not and rings etc. Once I have explained all of this I allow them 7 days to decide if they wish to employ me, explaining that I will keep date in diary for 7 days. If they want to take me up I then request a depot and send them a contract. I then liaise with them monthly via what app or email and once I have all the details prepare their script and send it to them for approval. If the venue is close I arrange a wedding rehearsal the day before and then on the day arrive 1 hr before to ensure all is arranged and the key things like rings etc have been brought to the wedding. I meet with the couple individually to try and reassure them and settle any last minute nerves.
I have been asked to plan a wedding ceremony in a bus. With the ceremony being held on the roof.
Good communications and reassuring the couple that your there for them.
Although they may be under pressure to please parents etc, they must be strong and ensure that the day is the way they want it to be.
When I announce the couple and all the guests cheer.
