25.01.2022 SUPPORT WEDDING INDUSTRY ON SOCIAL MEDIA Now that we are confined to our homes, there is more time to browse wedding inspiration online in your p.j's while curl...ed up on your lounge. Keep dreaming about your wedding, perfect your theme, build up a realistic vision board and support your local wedding vendors. The whole industry has been rocked up by the COVID-19 crisis, and wedding specialists need your support. Like and comment on their photos, tag and tell your friends about them. And of course, contact them to discuss purchasing their products or booking their services online. SHOP LOCAL COVID-19 pandemic has taught us that we should rely on local suppliers rather than vendors from overseas. It is almost unbelievable how so many borders have been closed virtually overnight while so many companies (including some high-profile fashion brands) had to stop production altogether. Nobody knows how long the crisis will last, and when will things go back to normal. It is safer to collaborate with florists, photographers, stationery specialists and other vendors that are close to home. CONSIDER A MID-WEEK WEDDING With so many 2020 events being cancelled or postponed, 2021 might be the biggest year for weddings. Once this is all over, well all want to celebrate! This means you might have fewer options when choosing your date. A mid-week wedding could be a better option for you because it gives you more flexibility and you can save a lot of money. Why not?! PLAN B IS YOUR BEST FRIEND FOREVER We all know that COVID-19 pandemic is unpredictable and that it jeopardises wedding plans regardless of where the dates fall in the calendar. It might even change the way we do social gatherings in the future. This is why you should have a plan B that would work even if the gathering restrictions stay in place beyond 2020. Your alternative solution can be a micro-celebration for a small number of guests, such as an intimate backyard get together with your nearest and dearest. PURCHASE WEDDING INSURANCE While most wedding insurances dont protect you from pandemics, it makes sense to purchase one for your 2021 wedding because it will be your safeguard against other unfortunate events. Unfortunately, we can expect a ripple effect after the current crisis is over. For example, you may book venues who could go out of business by next year unable to recover from this. ASK VENDORS ABOUT CANCELLATION POLICIES Wedding venues across Australia and the rest of the world are receiving fewer inquiries even for 2021. From food and beverage issues to concerns about possible travel bans, couples have many fears that prevent them from making plans. But keep in mind that vendors are now working on their policies to comfort their clients. They are taking extra precautions regarding hygiene, cancellation options and other potential problems you may be worried about right now. Check if your chosen venues and vendors have adapted their postponement or cancellation policies in response to coronavirus. Ask them when you can postpone or worst-case scenario cancel the See more

11.01.2022 "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We w...ill remember them." The Ode comes from For the Fallen, a poem by the English poet and writer Laurence Binyon and was published in London in the Winnowing Fan; Poems of the Great War in 1914. The verse, which became the League Ode, and has been used in association with commemoration services in Australia since at least 1921.

08.01.2022 It's always good to know our history and as The Good Book says... 'these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation' Esther 9:28 This is my... 7 x great grandmother Ann Guy. Her precise birthdate is unknown but generally attributed as November 4.. Here's her story... Ann Acres. Ann Hinchley was born 263 years ago. Her exact date of birth is unknown but we know she was baptised on the 26th November 1757. Ann is often overlooked, being the partner of Thomas Acres she does not draw the attention that her husband does. Having said that, she is no less important than he and if Thomas is the patriarch of the Acres clan (and it's extended branches) in Australia then Ann surely is our matriarch. Ann arrived in the colony of New South Wales on the 9th July 1791 with the Third Fleet aboard the 'Mary Ann'. Ann Guy (nee Hinchley) was the daughter of Henry and Mary Hinchley. She was born in London in 1757 and was baptised at St. Bartholomew's Church of England at Shoreditch, London. Ann married Alexander Guy at St. Leonard's Shoreditch on the 18th May 1789. Later that year, Ann was charged with stealing a linen shirt valued at 8s., one cotton petticoat valued at 4s. and two linen sheets valued at 5s. These were the property of her employer John Lee of Lower Street, Islington. Tried at the Old Bailey before Mr. Justice Grose, Ann was found guilty and was sentenced to seven years transportation. Shortly after arriving in the colony she met Thomas Acres. They did not marry, as Ann had a living husband in England. Ann and Thomas had five children together. With their children they carved out a life in the harsh existence of early Australia. Thomas was granted land at Mulgrave Place, Cattai, Liverpool and finally at Campbelltown. Ann became a midwife and often travelled throughout the colony assisting expectant mothers. Thomas died in 1824 and very little is known about Ann after that date. She is believed to have died in 1831/2. There are no details of her burial. We remember Ann and her contribution to our family and country. (Acknowledgement Thomas Acres Society) See more

05.01.2022 Civil Celebrations has been Certified by the NSW Government as being Covid Safe

05.01.2022 Best wishes from Civil Celebrations to our celebrant colleagues and clients today. Today is National Celebrant's Day - it's the day we say thank you to all thos...e wonderful Celebrants in Australia who are there to help you celebrate the best day of your lives with your family and friends however they are also there when you need them to help you say goodbye to someone that you have loved and now lost. Being a Celebrant is so much more than just standing in front of a group of people for 30 minutes. Celebrants pour their hearts and souls into every ceremony that they do and they spend hours gathering information, writing ceremonies, travelling to different locations and they truly care about every couple and every family. This year has been tough for everyone but for Celebrants, especially those that rely on their income to survive, but for a lot of us our businesses almost came to an abrupt halt. Our hearts went out to all those couples that had to postpone and even cancel their weddings because of the COVID19 restrictions. We are so lucky here in Wagga and the Riverina because we haven't had the restrictions that other states have had to endure; we are the lucky city so today is a day for Celebrants to celebrate surviving 2020. www.civilcelebrations.com.au #wedding #wagga #griffith #tumut #Narranderra #alburywodonga #celebrant #marriage #leeton #weddingcelebrant See more
