Weddings are joyous events.  Preparing for your wedding day is exciting as you plan to celebrate a milestone occasion with your family and friends. And yet it can also feel overwhelming. Remember the better prepared you are, the more confident and calmer you will feel. Your marriage officiant guides and directs the couple concerning the legal registration of the marriage and the wedding ceremony. 

 

Premarital counselling

Premarital counselling is essential when planning to get married. It’s a marriage preparation where topics such as communication, future goals, finance, commitment, children, and parenting are discussed. 

Seek premarital counselling several months before your wedding day to allow enough time to discuss important topics without the pressure of last-minute wedding preparations. 

 

The Wedding Ceremony 

A wedding ceremony is a public proclamation of marriage; it is a formal event binding two people in marriage; it is here that a religious or civil union is solemnized. 

I am on my way to becoming a registered marriage officer; until then, I am available to hold wedding ceremonies (including same-sex ceremonies) while a marriage officer processes the legalities.
