Love in the Rain

Returning the Shelter

Returning the Shelter

Thanks to some good Samaritans who offered us their shelter, we were able to conduct the ceremony out of the rain.  It was a welcome sight to see them walk towards us carrying a portable pergola.  Their kindness made the day.  The Bride and Groom carried it back to them at the end of the Ceremony amid a great deal of laughter and photographs.  In thanking them, I discovered one couple of our kindly duo celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary in Paris earlier this year and were more than happy to help a couple just starting out on their journey together.  I offer you my congratulations on 27 years together, an achievement in today’s world.

It may sound romantic to be married in the rain but unless you, and all your guests (including the Celebrant) are dressed and ready for it, it is an impractical situation.  Say goodbye to hair do’s and makeup and hello to feeling cold and sticky.

Plan B, Plan B, Plan B.  Don’t let the weather ruin The Best Day of Your Life.  Prepare for it, work with it!!

Yago and Amanda’s Wedding

Saturday 4 September, 2010

Tinaburra.  In an intimate ceremony, with loving family and friends, Yago Navarro and Amanda Pole pledged their love for each other.  Lynn Potter read a lovely adaptation of a Blessing Litany from the Chinook Psalter, asking the earth, mountains, waters, creatures, moon and stars to bless their marriage.

Thanks to some good Samaritans who offered us their shelter, we were able to conduct the ceremony out of the rain.  It was a welcome sight to see them walk towards us carrying a pergola.

Every best wish to Mr & Mrs Yago and Amanda Navarro. May the Great Spirit of Love be with you wherever you may roam.

SPRING – A Season of Love, Romance and Weddings

Leslie

Leslie

Here we are again – another Spring – another season of beautiful weddings.  This past year has gone so quickly and here we are at the beginning of ‘love is in the air’ time once more.  I love it, every moment of it, from the planning at the very beginning to the glitz, glamour and romance of The Big Day.

My blog is proving to be a popular way for your friends who couldn’t make it to your wedding to see and read about it as well as for those who were there to renew their memory of your special moment in time.

The website is also a helpful link to find wedding providers such as Cake Makers, Photographers, Musicians, Florists etc as well as venues on the stunning Atherton Tablelands. 

As a marriage celebrant, I travel all over the Tablelands from Kuranda to Mareeba, Mt Molloy, Julatten,  Ravenshoe, Innot Hot Springs, Herberton, Yungaburra, Tinaroo, Atherton and all places in-between.  We have had weddings standing on mountains, standing in a river or the ocean, standing in the rain, in a cave, under a rainforest tree, early morning, late evening, every day of the week.  It’s the Best Day of Your Life so make it special.

Bookings for 2011 are already strong so if you have a special date in mind, let me know so I can put it aside for you.

For those tying that blissful knot this season, may your day be blessed with family, friends, love, laughter and sunshine.  For those reserving a date, tell me how you see your Wedding Day and together, we’ll do it!

Andrew and Emily’s Wedding

Saturday 21 August, 2010

On a perfect winter’s day on the gently sloping shores of Lake Tinaroo, Andrew Schepen and Emily Brown became Husband and Wife.

Guests sat on decorated hay bales to witness their commitment to each other and to listen to guest readers, Sarah and Nerissa, as they spoke of hope and friendship - ’true friendship nurtures our hopes, supports us in our disappointments, and encourages us to grow to our best potential’.Photo courtesy Romy Photography

Andrew and Emily Schepen, may your love and friendship continue to grow and last all the seasons of your lives.

An Angel’s Funeral

The threatening rain held off as we came together to whisper goodbye to another little angel.  We came out of love and respect for the battle she fought in her short time with us. In the face of such sorrow, it is sometimes difficult to find meaning in life.  Rose petals fell like teardrops as the words of farewell were spoken. Despite our deep grief, our mourning allows us to heal and to learn to smile again. We are grateful for the comfort of those who knew our Angel and wrapped us up in their embrace. As the balloons reached for the Heavens, so does our love soar with you to a better, brighter world. Rest now, little one, your part is played, rest in the hearts and minds of those who love you.
