2010 Wedding season starting!
May 2, 2010 by Nancy
Ahhh, can you feel the excitement in the air? Can you hear the racing of feet to check out celebrants, cake decorators and venues? The 2010 wedding season has well and truly started and phone calls are now coming thick and fast.
It amazes me though when I hear that someone has sent out their wedding invitations but has not yet lined up a celebrant! I had a frantic call last weekend from someone wanting to marry in the height of the Dry season (July) who was only now realising that she did not have the celebrant to marry her! It also appeared that every celebrant that she had rung, was busy on ‘her’ day. While we alwasy try to find a solution to timing issues, in this case, all I could do was refer her on to other good celebrants in Darwin.
On the other hand, there are those well organised folk who are now booking for 2011 – I am in awe of their organisation and planning but how much less stressful to organise the celebrant first, and then commit to the myriad of other arrangements.
I am also in awe of some of the creative solutions to where people will be getting married. I had my first request to marry people above the crocodile pits at Crocodylus Park (Darwin) - I am hopeful that it is not a windy day as I am NOT jumping into the pit with two huge crocs to retrieve any wedding paperwork!!
Either way, the 2010 wedding season has started, and so far it is promising to be a fantastic one. At NT Celebrants, we LOVE weddings. We love being a part of the excitement, the joy and the magic of helping two people to join together in spirit and love. Call us ’softies’ if you want – but THAT is why we love being celebrants.
