    You don't need to like the same music to make music!

    Saturday just gone, polar opposites who have settled on "flying by the seat of your pants" to make your relationship work, married! I love listening to couples stories and creating a safe space when we first meet to ensure they can be themselves! I respect that there are times when some couples need extra support, firstly to be able to stand in front of their guests for a short while and then "say words!" Of course, they are often males who experience stage fright! Please be

    Is there a path that leads to your centre?

    Everyone approaches the place of ceremony in their lives in their own unique way! I love being a celebrant for this any many other reasons!

I patted myself on the back after experiencing onl

    He still opens her car door....and cooks!

    The parents didn't need a second invitation to jump in for extra hugs as they overwhelmingly offered their support for Evan and Danica's marriage at #DustyHillVineyard this weekend! School friends who kept in contact afterwards and who supported each other through some tough times, humbly told their guests through their vows and the stories they entrusted me to share, "just why a veterinarian and a dairy farmer were sealing their deep affection and choosing to become partners
