About Emily
Well hello there and firstly, thanks for looking me up, your hair looks very pretty today!
Let me introduce myself. Until last year I was a radio announcer, television presenter and writer who did a few weddings on the side for kicks and giggles. Mainly for friends and friends of friends and then friends of those friends, until I realised that pretty much everyone in this town knows someone who knows someone and this marriage celebrant stuff started to really take off.
Then I had a baby (who you will meet if you book me and come to my house to fill out all the legals, don’t worry she is super cute and doesn’t bite, unless you call a big old sloppy love chomp accompanied with an adorable grin biting) but after having my daughter I decided I wanted to stay at home and smooch her all day long and that’s when I realised that by being a full time marriage celebrant I could do just that.
But here's the thing. I love LOVE and I simply love weddings.
It’s my hobby. I have been a bridesmaid 7 times and married to the same person THREE times. I like to call it ‘research’ for the job.
We did the big white wedding for our family in a church followed by a large reception. Then while on holidays in Bali we decided to have a Bali Blessing ceremony on a mountain top surrounded by frangipanis and jungle sounds. And on our one year anniversary we renewed our vows in Vegas with an Elvis impersonator, it's still one of the most hilarious memories I have. So I’ve done it all, traditional, personal and fun and with all that experience hopefully I’ll understand what you are looking for and provide it.
And I’m young, so there will be no ‘lovely’ lavender suits gracing your precious wedding photos, no way! I’ll wear what you want me to wear. I do draw the line at a chicken suit...or weddings for nudists....hey, I just had a baby, no-one wants to see that! But seriously most people getting married are around my age and I aspire to just subtly blend into those expensive photos you have just paid for that you will have FOREVER.
Oh, by the way, I still dabble in writing and the odd media appearance, but right now I am just surrounding myself with love...the love of my new little family and the electrifying feeling of love you are sharing with each other right this moment....
