It's My Wedding!!

15/2/2015

All this romance over the weekend led me to sit down and check out my wedding photos.

Do you know what l love about my wedding photos? They are of my husband, my friends, my family and me. There are no photos of the florist, though she did a great job. There are no photos of the venue manager; because he was a grumpy old bloke and there are none framed on my wall of my minister despite being a good friend; it was not his wedding.
Picture
Looking at the photos reminds me of the day and the special people who are still an important part of our lives.

I always tell couples who are getting married that l want to be as memorable as the table decorations at their wedding reception. As in, l should not be the ‘thing’ they or others remember about the ceremony. Instead they should remember that they laughed and cried, that the you laughed and cried and that it was a perfect reflection of you.

GET OUT OF THEIR PHOTO!!!!
I like to get to know my couples and often feel as much a friend as the Celebrant on the day. Never the less, l make sure l stay out of the middle of all of their photos. I prefer to not read aloud their vows before they do. I am not in the background as they kiss. I am not the first to congratulate them or request a selfie before their other guests. I don’t make a big deal as l leave. I am honoured to be a part of their day and that they chose me to help them celebrate but l know my place and have no disillusions whose day it is.
Because, you know what? I have had ‘my day’. I have my own wedding photos;
l don’t need to be the centre of yours!

ps. Here is me at a wedding last weekend staying OUT of the photos.
The photographer (in black middle left) would have no doubt captured an awesome group shot of the Bride, Groom and their closest friends.

I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians and storytellers of the lands on which l live and work.
I pay my respects to all Elders, past and present. I pray my words and actions honour their legacy.
