25.01.2022 With a little something I pinched from a friend, a cute Friday Funny .... enjoy!!

24.01.2022 So today's wedding ceremony was also an unplugged one, and that means me too. Hence, another one of me in my work uniform. I'm just going to let it slip though, the bridal party looked amazing!!

24.01.2022 This lovely tribute was messaged to me this morning from the newly married Mrs Pennington. "Your ceremony was something so special and moving we are so blessed to have had you there with us " It was truly an honour and a pleasure - you were such a beautiful couple to work with - I enjoyed every moment xx Dianne Waterton

22.01.2022 On a beautiful spring afternoon I had the pleasure of marrying this couple. Congratulations Courtney and Chad!! You were such an accommodating couple and I loved being your celebrant and thank you very much for the lovely tribute and for giving me permission to use this photo taken by your photographer. "Thank you so much you did such a beautiful job too."

22.01.2022 \\ IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL COUPLES PLANNING TO MARRY OR HAVING A CELEBRATION // I have just received the following information from the Health Department regarding the SafeWA Mandatory Contact Register and QR Codes. I was under the misapprehension that Celebrants were responsible for making sure that people signed in for weddings or any other celebration as from the 12th February, 2021, but they are not (unless the ceremony is being held at the Celebrant's home). Plea...se read it carefully because the couple is quite likely to be the "responsible person" if the ceremony is to be held at an outdoor park or garden, and there are hefty fines attached to non-compliance. The letter has been copied and pasted from my email: Good afternoon Dianne, Under the current Contact Register Directions, it is the responsibility of the responsible person to collect and maintain the contact information. This is the person who is the occupier or other person apparently in charge of a relevant place. Although this is not a legal interpretation, the occupier or other person apparently in charge would most likely be considered the person who has hired the venue / booked the space at the outdoor park / organised the event and invited the people to attend etc. Unless your role as celebrant means you are considered the responsible person you would not need to maintain the contact register. If your role means you are considered the responsible person, then you must maintain at the minimum, a paper based contact register for people attending to complete. You do not have to have a QR code for the venue, but if you choose to have a code, you must have the SafeWA QR code available for people to use. Kind regards Public Health Emergency Operations Centre (PHEOC) PHEOC Strategy & Operations for COVID 19 Response Department of Health 189 Royal Street, East Perth, WA 6004 T: 9222 0221 | F: 9222 2259 | E: [email protected] 13COVID Hotline (13 26843) W: health.wa.gov.au/coronavirus healthywa.wa.gov.au/coronavirus PS: I do have a QR Code for my residence for people coming to complete NOIM's or for JP signing.

20.01.2022 MY WORK UNIFORM AGAIN! Today was another unplugged ceremony and until I get the go-ahead from today's gorgeous couple to post one of their photos, this is it!! You are probably saying, "ooh you do wear a lot of black and white for weddings, don't you?" and I will reply "yes I do, but I have two very good reasons."... You see, my number 1 reason is: No way do I feel that I want to compete with my beautiful brides and their attendants. It is my couple's special day and all the light should shine on them. And secondly, black blends in well with whatever theme colour the wedding party has chosen. I am there purely to present their ceremony with dignity, a little bit of humour and lots of joy and to make their union a legal one. As long as I am dressed respectably and look very presentable, that is all that is required but yes, I also like the colour black!

18.01.2022 07/10/2020 Two special celebrations for Jean today! Firstly, it was her birthday and then she travelled from Norseman with her husband-to-be to get married with a small family gathering on our back patio. It was lovely to see her dressed in traditional Indonesian batik and I even raided my linen press to find one to use as a cloth for our outdoor table.... Happy birthday Jean and happy wedding day Jean and Bernie!

17.01.2022 24 OCTOBER, 2020 "Today is a day you will always remember The greatest in anyone's life You'll start off the day just two people in love ... And end it as Husband and Wife" (Author Unknown) And that is exactly what happened! Sophie and Tom, what a pleasure it was to join you in marriage on Saturday in beautiful Esperance. I don't often get the chance to include a special little ritual for the mothers of the bride and groom, and to include a special little rose ceremony for them was a lovely touch. Thank you for allowing me to use this lovely photo of you both that was taken by photographer, Sonia Hennessy.

16.01.2022 I have not long been home from presenting an "unplugged" marriage ceremony at the Hannan's Club in Kalgoorlie. Out of respect for my delightful Bride and Groom I did not take any photos (even of the venue) but they have given me permission to publish one of them both in the near future and their lovely photographer has agreed to share one with me. Please, WATCH THIS SPACE

14.01.2022 Congratulations Sophie and Tom and thank you for giving me the honour of being the celebrant lucky enough to present your ceremony. Much happiness always. Photo courtesy of Sonya from Sonya Hennessy Photography in Esperance, WA.

12.01.2022 A BEAUTIFUL BACKDROP: A wedding arbor originally symbolised the home that a couple would build or the protection provided by the couples' parents. These days, wedding arches and canopies have been appropriated to ceremonies held outside of these traditional ideas, and are used as a ceremonial backdrop The wedding ceremony is the most important part of your wedding day. It is where you publicly proclaim your commitment to each other it is why we have weddings.... Such a significant moment needs to have a focal point and in an outdoor wedding there is nothing that will anchor the space more than a wedding arch. It frames the two of you as you are saying your vows and is the backdrop for when you first face your guests as husband and wife. It is also probably the most photographed decoration on the day so a little bit of thought needs to go into what you are going to have and how it will be decorated. I have seen many, many arbors over the years of being a celebrant, but none have been prettier than this one for yesterday's wedding.

10.01.2022 I have not taken any wedding bookings for July because this has been on the cards for a while - I hope you understand

10.01.2022 I am sharing this delightful video with permission from Savannah from Wild Light Imagery and also from the very newly married, Mrs Lennox. How honoured I was to be a part of this joyous occasion by being their marriage celebrant. Thank you for asking me Josh and Sarah, I loved every minute of it!

09.01.2022 With Carly's and Jake's permission, I am posting this beautiful photo of them on their wedding day (Last Saturday - 27th Feb). The photographer who took this stunning photo was Jazzie Haggerty and what a fabulous photo it is. Thanks Jazzie for allowing me to use it.

08.01.2022 NOT JUST WEDDINGS AND FUNERALS Not long after I became an "Official" or Registered Marriage Celebrant I decided to encompass all forms of celebration for life's milestones and events. So, it's not JUST weddings and funerals that I do. I have added several more to my ceremonial list - Naming Days for children (a civil version of a religious Christening) Renewal of Marriage Vows, Memorial Services, Interment Services and Scattering of the Ashes ceremonies for deceased family and friends. I have also presented the Opening Ceremony for a friend's shop, and yes, even one Divorce Ceremony (where we burnt a copy of the original Marriage Certificate as a ritual it was fun)! If you are thinking about putting a little bit of excitement into this "Covid" life we are living, give me a call and I can help you have "A CELEBRATION"!

07.01.2022 I don't wear dresses very often when I present a wedding ceremony because I need something to clip the transmitter to, such as a waist band or belt. However, this afternoon's wedding was a very private one with just myself, two witnesses and my bride and groom and I could be heard well enough by those present without using my trusty Mipro. My beautiful couple wanted something very private and personal for their ceremony but are going to have a ball when they meet up with family and friends later this evening for their wedding reception.

03.01.2022 What a happy wedding day!!! (Although I had to dab tears of joy from Mary Jane's face as she made her promises to her loving husband Ian). And, another beautiful thing happened!! Because of the Covid restrictions, Mary Jane's father was unable to walk her "down the aisle" (he lives in the Philippines), so Ian's young son stepped in and did a perfect job. Mary Jane's dad would have been very proud of him. Many blessings always to you both and thank you for giving me the honour of being your celebrant, Dianne xx
