Music is such an important part of your wedding day. And not just for the P-A-R-T-Y. You need to get it right for the ceremony too. The music you chose should be a reflection of your personalities and set the vibe for your guests, whether that’s romantic, classic, relaxed, fun, upbeat or alternative. Music sets the mood and the tone and encourages the guests to be social so it’s worth putting a bit of thought into it.
Changing your name is a personal decision that every man and woman has to make. Yes! Men can change their names too if they want to.
If you decide to change your name after you get married, then be prepared. I’m not going to lie, it’s a bit of a chore. It is not as simple as waving a wand. I wish it could be done with just one form! Unfortunaetly, it’s a P-R-O-C-E-S-S that can take months, depending on how organised or how much spare time you have.
Think of it as your next project, after the wedding planning is over! It is not nearly as much fun but it is a necessary-evil if you want to change your name.
During my training to become a celebrant I was strongly advised not to allow pets to take part in any ceremonies as they can be unpredictable and distracting.
Then I launched myself into the world of celebrancy and the first couple that booked me wanted not one, but all three of their dogs to be involved.
What was I suppose to do? My guiding principle as a celebrant is to advise and facilitate; not to stand in the way of what couples want……. so the dogs were in!
