Mellie was SO PERFECT for my husband and I! We knew within minutes of meeting her that she would be amazing to marry us! Her sense of humour matched ours, her relaxed and fantastic personality clicked with us and we are so glad she married us!

Melanie was good and was such a character. We felt so comfortable as soon as we met her. We didn't know what we wanted and she guided us through our options to create a personal ceremony. Everything went to plan on the day of the wedding!

Mellie was awesome! I was the bride that didn’t know what I was doing or where to start, Mellie was helping out from before we even asked her to be our celebrant. She understood our dry & odd sense of humours from the get go, I gave him my unmissable facial expression when we met her (meaning, yep this chick! She’ll do! -inside joke) this was about 10mins in. The surveys helped to make our vows so special and absolutey unique to us, we were both extremely comfortable and we thought that was going to be the most stressful part of the day but it just beautiful, I can’t wait to re read our vows as they were very personal and everybody spoke of them. Mellie accomodated everything we wanted in our ceremony from a twilight start, traditional smokings, hand fasting reshuffling the ceremony due to cancellations on the day. Recommendations are extremely high with this one! Thanks Mel! U were awesome! Xx Zarra & Booka (Clint)

Does the celebrant have to do the whole "how they met" story?

I feel like that might be awkward for us. We are a super stong and stable couple now, but when we met we still had a lot of growing up to do (we were teenagers, and broke each others hearts.) We had a huge falling out and reconnected later. It was very messy and all of our fam and friends know that. Do we have to go into that when our life is so beautiful NOW, and has been for years now?

Two Tie The Knot Celebrant Services

No you don't have to have the "how we met story" in your ceremony. Your Celebrant should work with you to write a ceremony that truly reflects you, your partner, your love and your future together. They set the tone and vibe for your day. Be truthful with your celebrant that you do not like that element and would not like to have this aspect included. There are so many amazing rituals or ceremonial aspects that can be included that have far more meaning, if your celebrant isn't open to exploring something more original or meaningful to you, I'd suggest considering finding a new one :)

Is a person who is asked to do a reading at the church part of the bridal party?

Two Tie The Knot Celebrant Services

Hi :)

They can be, but they don’t have to be. It’s always nice to include someone special in your day, you could have your grandmother or grandfather, your aunty or uncle, step father or mother, work colleague, your spouse’s sister or brother, there are no restrictions to whom you can chose to do a reading for you. It is a wonderful opportunity to include that special someone who is not in your bridal party, it can also be an avenue to honor someone whom is no longer with you, by having their favourite passage or poem read by a close family member to them. Do what makes you happy, choose whoever you like, it is after all your day.

conjugal status on marriage certificate?

Do both husband and wife have to mention their conjugal status (if one of them previously divorced) on their marriage certificate? Are there any options with the marriage certificates like can they choose any marriage certificate that does not require conjugal status details?

Two Tie The Knot Celebrant Services

Yes , both need to state their Conjugal status onto the NOIM form. It is legally required by law. If this is a conversation you have not had with your new fiance, and they are unaware that you have been previously married , I would advise you to do so, as a good marriage foundation is honesty and trust .
