Why did you become a Celebrant?
I blame my heritage for instilling in me a huge passion for weddings, and the celebration of important milestones and family events. And ever since I was roped into drafting love letters for my friends in high school, I’ve been enthusiastic about the public declaration of love! It always makes my heart fit to burst. I’m a huge romantic and relish the opportunity to get the words right for vows to knock your partner’s socks off, and craft a ceremony that allows both of your personalities shine through.
In the 10 years prior to becoming a celebrant I was repeatedly asked by friends if I could solemnise their marriages, and I had to decline, settling instead for an MC or bridesmaid position (or both!). I bit the bullet and in December 2018 became a fully licenced civil celebrant. It was such a joy to finally say YES PLEASE when people asked me if I could marry them!
