What I am actually talking about is the size of your wedding. Does it really matter if you have the legal amount of people i.e. 2 witnesses the bride and groom and the most amazing celebrant you could find or is it more important to invite 300 of your closest friends and family and 100 of your parents and in-laws friends??? Something tells me I am thinking of my own wedding here 😊😊

Seriously though does the amount of people at your wedding have anything to do with the outcome? Personally, from a celebrant’s perspective (also by law), absolutely not.

Your wedding day is yours, filled with your friends, your family and your amazing celebrant… (too much? Ok I will stop now 😉)

Whenever I chat with a couple the most common denominator is they want a fun ceremony, they want to laugh, they don’t want it to go on forever, they just want to celebrate.

For me this is fantastic let’s just get the job done, right?

Well, I absolutely agree let’s do this – because legally all you need are the legal vows, the monitum (a paragraph that says I am allowed to make this legal), say your full names once and sign the certificates… 10 minutes later you are done and dusted!

Now let’s think about what has just happened… Yes, you had your quick ceremony, Yes the ceremony took 10 minutes and now you are married so let’s paaaaarrrrtaaaayyyyy. (yep, I went there)

Let’s give this some thought, when You picture Your day, what do you want? What do you imagine?

Whether you are male, female or non-binary at some point in your world (if marriage is your thing) you have thought about your wedding day. So when you thought of that day what were you picturing? Was it walking up the aisle to your amazing partner, taking the time to tell them how much you love them or was it about saying the legal words and then celebrating or to be honest something in the middle?

You plan on having one wedding. You plan on making this your perfect day. So contact a celebrant that you connect with to help make your perfect day happen…

Clearly that’s me!! 😊
