21.01.2022 WHAT A WEDDING Throwback to these two cuties on their ah-maaaazing wedding day! Lachie and Ella had their big day on the family property and believe you me - it was all kinds of wonderful. And even as the rain constantly threatened to cause havoc and had us wondering about actioning ‘Plan B’, we snuck in their super sweet ceremony before the heavens opened. Just. Jerry Ghionis

13.01.2022 HOPE IS STRONGER THAN FEAR With wedding season practically non existent, I’ve been looking back and reliving so many great memories of fabulous couples and their amazing ceremonies - like this one of Clementine & Travis. They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, and this one says it all. *FUN* And a lot of it!! ... *Fun* There’s not a lot of that going around at the moment. Now sadly, the only thing going ‘round are broken plans, broken dreams and likewise too many small businesses facing uncertainty. But I think all we can do, and all I’m doing, is hold on to hope. Hope that there are more good days than crap ones to come. Hope that the many people feeling the stress and anxiety of it all have someone to call, and someone they can talk to, and that they are not alone. Hope that everyone does the right thing so we can move forward instead of riding this rollercoaster of emotions that’s not doing anyone, any good. Hope that cases drop in the coming weeks and and in turn, restrictions are loosened. Hope for all the people isolated from family both near and far, can reunite with their loved ones in person and hug. And hug hard. I miss weddings and I miss putting smiles on my couples faces. I hope that this can happen again soon. Let’s all stay safe, stay strong, and stay connected, and hold onto the hope that this shall pass. beherebenow_photosfilms #imissthis

10.01.2022 This is my Oma. She’s 91, lives in aged care, and has dementia. I often ring her for a chat, which is hard for her, having to put a face to a voice. As you can imagine, our conversations are interesting! I miss her cheeky smile and holding her hand. The really simple things. This post is for all those who feel alone, especially those in aged care, nursing homes, and also those who live and work from home alone - removed from family and friends with no social connection. The... feelings of isolation and vulnerability in lockdown are REAL, and it’s breaking my heart thinking of those suffering silently, those who are confused and those who don’t understand. We as humans were not built for this - not to interact, not to touch. Touch is well known to have a direct impact on your wellbeing, general health, and recovery time of illnesses. Stage 4 is finally in. PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING. We need to eradicate this. WE must. For the health and wellbeing of our city and state, for those vulnerable in our community, those who are alone and isolated, and those whose mental health is suffering - and it is. Please stay connected to those you love and those alone in whatever way you can. They need us like never before.

06.01.2022 LET’S TALK VOWS Exciting for some, daunting for many. Taking the time to write personal vows to your partner is an incredible opportunity to make them feel like a million dollars, and let’s them know exactly what they mean to you. ... Do you want vows that are light hearted and funny? Or perhaps heartfelt and romantic? Maybe a mix of both? Whatever you decide, make sure your vows are all about the person standing in front of you - that one special person who lights up your world, that you’ve chosen to do life with. Compliment them , encourage them, and affirm them. Speak from the heart and you can’t go wrong.

06.01.2022 No hugs. No handshakes. No faces. Weddings in Melbourne maybe on hold at the moment, but funerals with 10 mourners are still able to go ahead. It’s been another busy week helping families organise farewells for their loved ones, but it’s certainly not business as usual. ... For a few families, the limit of 10 mourners works for them. But for the great majority, it does not. For most families, they know if given the chance, their loved one would attract hundreds of connections and associations, eager to pay their final respects and be at the farewell. This sadness only adds to the world of pain they’re in. I cannot begin to explain how important funerals, celebrations of life, farewells or memorials are for so many reasons. Funerals underpin a necessary part of grieving that reinforce the reality that the death has actually happened, and that someone has died. Seeing the coffin, watching it move away from sight and being amongst the grief of others all bring reality to the forefront, even though it can hurt. This reality of experiencing the rituals of saying goodbye reinforces the message that the death is real. A farewell service provides a safe and supportive space for mourners to feel their loss, and show and share their feelings with those around them. It can also be a significant factor in setting the tone for the way their grief is expressed once the funeral is over. The limit of 10 people for most families at the moment, barely covers their immediate family, let alone co-workers, friends and neighbours. The business of live-streaming is alive and well, and without this very important option I know the overflow of grief not dealt with would be so much worse. For many families this is just another restriction and heartbreaking hurdle they’re having to get over. Listening to their stories breaks my heart. Yes I’m a professional, I deal with death, but I’m human first, and so many people are hurting in front of me. Many have not been allowed in emergency departments, in hospitals, and aged care facilities. It’s shit. There’s no other way to say it. More than ever, it’s so important to stay connected with one another. Family. Friends. Neighbours.. SO IMPORTANT. If you have lost someone during this time and are struggling, reach out. If you were unable to attend a farewell and are lost, find someone you trust. Make a call. Ask for help. You will be amazed at the generosity and compassion of others around you at this time. I have to believe, and hope, that the human spirit will triumph, and that love and kindness will see us through this tough time.
