]]> Grooms are often nervous when it comes to writing their own vows.  I am not sure if it embarrassment about showing their feelings to all and sundry or a lack of confidence.

Whatever it is, I can honestly say that some of the most moving and funny vows have been written by a reluctant Groom.

Just as a little heads up, even the best public speaker will be nervous on his wedding day.

Here are some hints to help you write the perfect vows for your future partner.  Ask yourself these questions.

  1. Why do you love her or him
  2. What are your thankful for. It could be that you are cared for or you are reminded to take your keys with you, regularly.
  3. What makes you smile about her/him
  4. What do you see in the future with her/him.
  5. What drives you crazy or makes you laugh about her/him (this always helps to lighten the moment)
  6. And finally what do you promise her/him.  Whether it be to make them happy when they are sad or to put the Towels in the washing basket, not on the bathroom floor, the promises you make will be special and memorable, not a generic promise for all and sundry.

I can meet with you before your Marriage Ceremony and help you to personalise your Vows, plus I will put them on a beautiful card so you can read them to your partner on the day.  Feel Better?  Great!!!

From one end of the spectrum, you can pay as little as $350 but is it worth taking the chance.  Then you can pay as high as $1200…….. same scenario.  So the best way to decide on which Celebrant is the “perfect fit” for you is to have a chat.   You and the Celebrant can usually tell by that first conversation if you are in sync and on the same page.    If you consider what it would cost for a designer pair of shoes to be hidden by your wedding dress or even the Wedding Dress the fee for your Celebrant, who is let’s face it, the person that will make or break you Marriage Ceremony, is definitely not worth skimping on.  Remember the Ceremony starts off the festivities for you and your guests for the Wedding Day and should be looked at as importantly as the Reception and Ceremony Venues, Wedding Dress, Caterers, Flowers or photographer.

With regard to your Wedding photographer, they love a Celebrant who considers them.  Ensuring that most of the Ceremony doesn’t have the Celebrant photo bombing every shot.   It is possible for the officient to spend most of the Ceremony out of shot and only coming in close at necessary times during the Ceremony.  So if you have a Celebrant who is considerate of you, your guests and your suppliers you are almost there.   Then make sure that you can rely on and communicate freely with the person that will make your Marriage Ceremony and Wedding Day “PERFECT” and remembered by all.  Gail Evans
