Phoenix Celebrant

Hyde Park was a beautiful place for a wedding, and actually so cheap to hire too! I was surprised!

This was one of the most amazing celebrations I've had the honour of being a part of :) can't wait to show you some real pics :)

This is Lionel Murphy, and it's thanks to him that we have civil weddings!! We've only had them since 1973. That's just over 50 years!! He just wanted people to be able to get married in a way that was meaningful and appropriate and dignified for people who weren't a regular churchgoer.

He mentioned the word dignified a lot. He really wanted people to be able to choose what their wedding was like, who where when and how, liberties unheard of up until this point!

ofc much to the dismay of the people around him, he furthered the cause of women by hiring celebrants that were mostly women. Also first nation Australians, and young people.

Bit progressive right? A little too progressive apparently! The people (even on his side of the govt) started accusing him of all sorts, he kept getting acquitted but they'd just find a new thing, til he died of bowel cancer and couldn't hinder the grossly racist rich people anymore.

But he's started something

Got to marry two amazing people (who are also proud nerds) today as Ahsoka!!!

Everything was star wars themed and they walked out through an arch of light sabers!!!!!

How best can you get!!!!!!!

BESTER, because then they also gifted me this amazing Ahsoka terrarium thingy. He handled it with such love he only touched with with gloves ❤️

They looked so happy and it was so wonderful to see and I got to tell them just how great they were in my celebrant speech :D

What an absolutely magical day ❤️

Congratulations Glenn and Lynda!!!!

Don't break the circle x

Look at these cuties in front of their cute little tinyhouse! :D

The doggy had things rings and everything, it was really sweet

When you get to be both the celebrant and the Maid of Honour
