Rituals

Much like any professional service, what you see on the day of a wedding is only a small part of the job. Training, professional practice and experience is what your celebrant's fee really covers. So as a celebrant with over 16 years experience, here's a few things that I'd love to share with you.

In a traditional wedding service the question asked is, “Who gives this woman to be married to this man?” and her father would answer “I do” or “Her mother and I do.” These days many couples feel this wording is archaic, reflecting a time when women became their husband's property on marriage.
