20.01.2022 When it comes to writing your own wedding vows, so long as you write what’s in your heart, you really can’t go wrong... Many people are afraid to write their own personal vows for fear of getting it wrong, but the way I see it is there are no rules when speaking from the heart. I’ve even done weddings where one says their own vows & the other doesn’t. It’s completely up to you & your fiancé... don’t worry about what your guests will think, because it’s your day. You won’t ge...t to do it again, so if you really want to say something beautiful or quirky & funny to your bride/groom, then do it. The same goes for those who are too nervous to speak publicly, & in this case, we often have ‘the asking’ instead (this is where I ask one or both of you if you promise to ... & then you get to say I Do!). Flexibility, having fun & making your ceremony heartfelt are the keys to a great & memorable wedding ceremony. Don’t be afraid to ask your celebrant to add things to give your guests a giggle too, if that’s your nature, or make it romantic if that’s what you feel. It’s up to you. Unique, relaxed & heartfelt ceremonies always stick out in people’s minds & it means you can be yourselves even whilst making the biggest commitment of your life See more
19.01.2022 Another beautiful couple united in love with the boat harbour in the background, our beautiful bride arrived by coast guard boat & made her entrance on the arm of her proud Dad. This amazing young couple knew the moment they found each other, that this was ‘the one’ & now they’re so excited to share the adventures of life together. Is this not the best job in the world?
17.01.2022 This is so true of marriage...
16.01.2022 A small gift of love for today’s beautiful couple on their Wedding Day
16.01.2022 People often want to support friends or family who have lost a loved one, yet many times are at a loss themselves as to how to approach them or what to say or do. This is a great post...
15.01.2022 For those planning their wedding, this is worth checking out!
15.01.2022 Yesterday I had the honour & privilege of doing a memorial service (A Celebration if Life) for a beautiful family I’ve met & now become friends with, through doing funerals. Held at the football club where he played as a young teen, even one of his old coaches was there. There was laughter, tears, but most notable of all was the LOVE. Such a charismatic, cheeky, fun loving man, he touched so many lives on an incredibly deep level. His beautiful wife even granted his often spoken wish, of being at his own wake! Truly loved & forever remembered with a smile or a laugh
14.01.2022 How awesome is this idea! These days most parks & gardens don’t allow confetti at weddings, and now that the leaves are turning different shades, you can have a variety of colours of natural confetti! Why not get a group of friends together, with a bottle of wine (or your preferred drink or food of choice), and get creative!
14.01.2022 Happy Day of Love everyone! This pic is one of my special loves, rocking her Valentine’s Day hair-do. Let this be a day of self love & care, as well as a day for truly appreciating the special people in your life & letting them know how much they mean to you. You don’t have to buy fancy things... it’s the kind gestures & words from the heart that truly matter
10.01.2022 It’s a gorgeous day for a wedding here at Ipswich Country Motel :)
10.01.2022 Having the honour of doing both Weddings & Funerals (or as I prefer to call them ‘Life Celebrations’), I’ve learned that no matter how many quirks or annoying habits we feel we might have, we are each perfectly loveable just as we are. In fact it’s our uniqueness which sets us apart from others and is what people truly love & remember about us. It’s what makes you YOU & no one else. We each have a special role to play in this life & I want to remind you that you are amazing! Yes... imperfections & all We can be hard on ourselves & others can be cruel at times, but know that you truly are amazing & perfect as you are A very special lady who’s life we celebrated yesterday, wisely taught her children & grandchildren that it’s your imperfections that make you perfect
09.01.2022 How beautiful is this keepsake

08.01.2022 Hi All, this amazing new friend of mine Lisa Hilliard is writing a book about her journey over the past year. I first met her a little over a year ago when I was asked to be the celebrant for her Dad’s Funeral (life celebration) service. We clicked, & Lisa’s husband was super impressed with the connection I had, not only with the family, but also their Dad. Then just a week to the day of her Dad’s funeral, Lisa’s husband passed at home & she flew me to Rockhampton to do Le’Ro...y’s service. What this incredible lady has been through in the past year and a bit is mind blowing. She has been challenged on so many levels... emotionally, physically & much much more. She is such an incredible inspiration to me & I know her book will be filled with helpful tips, as she shares her personal story, in the hope of being able to help others to have the courage & strength to keep smiling & pushing through when life continues throwing challenges at you! If you feel to, pls help me support Lisa in her quest & pre-order her personally signed book (at a discounted price), which will be published in June! I can’t wait to get my copy!!! The link is in the comments on her original post which is attached here. Have a wonderful day & thanks for taking the time to read this post See more

06.01.2022 Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romantic love & fancy gifts... to me it’s about appreciating all of the loving people you have in your life... past & present. It’s about nurturing & loving yourself & being kind to you, because after all... you are a pretty awesome person So today, give a stranger a smile or pay them a compliment, because they may not be as fortunate as you are to have so much love in your life or in their heart. It may make the world of difference & it costs nothing but your time Remeber you’re amazing
05.01.2022 A beautiful & unexpected gift from the heart from my gorgeous young daughter yesterday. It’s the simple & thoughtful things in life that bring the biggest smiles sometimes
01.01.2022 This time of year is extremely emotional for many, & exciting for others. It’s reflective, sometimes daunting & other times super inspiring. May you farewell 2019 (& the 20teens) with love in your heart, because even if you’ve been dragged through the ringer... life hasn’t beat you! You’re amazing whether you know it or not. Whether you believe it or not. You are enough just because you’re you. May 2020 be filled with moments of loving compassion, acts of kindness, great company, laughter & love
