A match made on the frontline
When two of our frontline heroes decide to marry during a pandemic… Written by Cheryl Landsberry Celebrant / Photos and video highlight by Romana Saeheng / Styling by Miss Weddings Kathleen and Alexander first met in an outback Hospital. Kathleen was a newly hired nurse, and on her first day, an intern wearing a pink dress shirt instantly caught her eye. Kathleen decided that her new job might be pretty interesting. Not long afterwards, when Alex was relocated to Brisbane, Kathleen followed him, and they set about trying every restaurant on Alex’s rather long short-list.

Only a short drive from…

Victoria & Brody’s Beautiful Bayside Micro-Wedding
Written by Ketrina Coffey Celebrant A Bayside ‘Micro-Wedding’ was the way to go for Victoria and Brody, and it was just beautiful. Commonly the case over the last crazy year, Victoria and Brody couldn’t go ahead with their big wedding as planned. But they still wanted to be married, especially since they now have bub on the way. So, they decided to get hitched and do the whole ‘wedding thing’ when restrictions allow. As their celebrant, I first met with the ‘Newly-Weds-to-be’ over coffee just five weeks before their wedding day… just in time to lodge the paperwork*. Victoria and Brody were pretty undecided of what they wanted from their ‘micro-wedding’; Brody still wanted some wedding traditions, whereas Victoria wanted to keep the ceremony as simple as…
