Being a Celebrant

As a Marriage Celebrant based in Perth Western Australia I am always on the lookout for words and phrases that I may use in a ceremony to bring the lives of the couples I am marrying in to life and encapsulate who they are and where they are heading.I read a wonderful article this morning in The Weekend Australian Magazine about Paul Kelly. Using poetry and phrases can elicit that feeling of love, a lot of it springing from the ways of Shakespeare.........How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. or as Paul Kelly says"When you do nice things to me all heaven shuts down" As a Marriage Celebrant my job is to put words and meaning into verses that are my couples story.....and I love the opportunity to create.
