Goodbye 'summer', Hello winter

Over the last few days a chill has descended on Sydney and it's time to admit that summer is well and truly over. It's time to look ahead to all the wonderful things about winter...crisp, blue days (it's actually dryer in Sydney in winter, than in summer), cosy slippers, toasty fires and heartwarming stews for example.

But before we look ahead, I wanted to quickly reflect on the summer that has just passed. While by no means the warmest or dryest summer on record, Sydney's brides and grooms didn't let the weather get in the way of love. Despite the less-than-ideal weather there have been some absolutely beautiful weddings over the last few months.

From Palm Beach to Coolangatta and all around this beautiful city of Sydney, Laura has been privileged to be involved in so many happy occasions, each one special and unique. There have been lots of happy memories from Summer 2011/2012... breathtaking harbour-side and park locations, moving family tributes, touching and heart-felt vows, stirring musical performances, funny speeches and so many gorgeous brides and grooms!

Clare and Arron Wedding: Dunbar House

Image
Not even rain could dampen Clare and Arron's spirits when they got married at Dunbar House, Watson's Bay. The happy couple celebrated many years of love and friendship, whilst also making a commitment to share their future together. They were thrilled with the personalised ceremony created by their celebrant, Laura Craddock. "[Laura] I can't even properly articulate just how absolutely ecstatic Arron and I were with how the ceremony ran, and the integral part that you played on our special day. Thank you for helping us create a ceremony that was intimate, special and absolutely suited our personalities and tastes. We are beyond lucky to have stumbled across you on a vague google search and honestly feel like we were 'meant' to find you because you were exactly what we had been looking for in a celebrant. Not only did you help me through the ceremony through my nerves (and fetching me water!) but also beforehand when Arron and I were quite nervous

Same-sex marriage will soon be legal in Australia Australian Parliament is currently debating changes to the Marriage Act 1961,  which would allow same-sex couples to marry in Australia 2018. This follows a resounding 'yes' vote in the 2017 plebiscite on Marriage Equality. The contentious postal vote revealed that 61.6% of Australians believe same-sex marriage should be legalised. Prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has pledged that parliament will vote on the issue of marriage equality before Christmas. Changes to the Marriage Act 1961 will need to be passed in the House of Representatives and the Senate. The earliest same-sex marriage could be ratified and accepted into law would be December 8, but there are no concrete timeframes in place and it coule be much later. ​ Once same-sex weddings are made legal, LGBTI couples will first need to lodge a Notice Of Intended Marriage with their celebrant in order to be able to marry. There is then a minimum one-m
