We all have a life story and, as I will know a great deal about your relationship to create your ceremony, I thought it was important that you know a little about me and why I choose to be a full time marriage and civil celebrant.......  
I met my beautiful man, Ron, when I was 22 and he was 35, we will have been married for 30 years in 2012 (where have all those years gone????), so you probably don't need a calculator to work out my age..... that's OK, because I haven't got a problem with the odd "laughter/character" line (YET!).
When I met my man he had three children, ages 6, 9 and 11 (it's commonly known as an "instant family")!  From our humble beginnings and two babes of our own, we grew.... and grew!  Between our five and their partners, we now have 10 grandchildren, the youngest, Isabelle, born on the 7th March, 2011 - we are truly blessed as a couple and a family.
As with many families, our life story has been one filled with much love and laughter, together we have celebrated such joy, although, mixed with this has been many shared tears and great sadness.....  All these memories are the souvenirs of our hearts and will all be treasured, for they make us into the people we are today.
Our joys and sadness gave me the inspiration to become a celebrant, to ensure that no life celebration was ever considered "ordinary" and that every ceremony, where I have the honour to officiate, would always be one filled with love, compassion, a sense of fun and my total commitment that no-one would ever leave a ceremony without taking the sense of celebration with them.....
I would be delighted to share your special moment.......
