Maid of Honour Raps her Speech
If you’re part of the Bridal Party who needs to make a speech – it’s hard if you’re not a gifted natural speaker.
So here are a few tips to help you.
But nothing can compare to this awesome Maid of Honour speech/rap!!!
Famous Screen Kisses ♥ The Notebook
As a Marriage Celebrant one of this most exciting parts for me is when I can say…
By the authority vested in me as a Marriage Celebrant appointed under the law of New Zealand…. I now pronounce you Husband and Wife/Marriage Partners!!
You may now kiss your beautiful Bride/Groom!!!
This is when all eyes are on you and the photographers camera is poised to capture that incredible moment when you share your first kiss as a married couple!
Of course, you’ll naturally have to practice a lot to get your technique just right… ; )
We don’t want a quick peck on the lips or lots of french kissing… so here’s some inspiration from the silver screen…
It goes without saying Ryan Gosling was going to make it into our list.
Voted Best Screen Kiss 2005. No wonder!
Stunning Wedding Venues ♥ the Wharf
There is only one word to describe the Wharf wedding venue on Northcote Point – SPECTACULAR!!!
Can you imagine being married looking over the stunning Auckland Harbour Bridge lit up at night, or dining with a picture postcard view of sunset over the Waitakeres or in the Oyster Room surrounded by ocean and native Pōhutukawa trees?
Topped off with the finest cuisine, friendliest service and convenience of a venue where you can hold your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception – all in seperate rooms, with a different look and feel?
It’s old world elegance with a modern twist!
The Wharf’s wedding showcase today brought the venue to life. I was there as preferred Marriage Celebrant. Other specially selected wedding vendors were DJ4You to set the scene and get the party started, tasty treats and wedding cakes from Magnolia Kitchen, First Class Classics to chauffeur you in style and the breathtaking Perry Trotter Photography.
I look forward to marrying you there!
Wedding photography ♥ Google Glasses
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue — and Google Glass, too.
Ok, wedding photography and videography are becoming super hi-tech – we’ve seen drones, go-pros, microphones galore… and now Google Glasses!!!
They’ll capture your walk down the aisle and everything else from a very unique perspective! Not a bad idea given that your wedding day is all a blur, especially that nervous walk down the aisle!
Somehow I don’t think these are going to become a sought after wedding fashion accessory!
Saying that, there is a video taken by a Celebrant who wore Google Glasses – now that would be quite cool!

Celebrity Weddings ♥ Iggy Azalea
How many of you have enjoyed the hilarious Carpool Karaoke with British comedian James Corden (well known for that great movie about unlikely opera singer Paul Potts) – his recent Carpool Karaoke with Adele (rapping) broke the one million viewer mark – or something incredible like that.
My favourites are probably the Jason Derulo or the second Justin Bieber one – but the one where James tries on wedding dresses with Iggy is priceless.
I think everyone needs to bring their own James Corden to wedding dress fittings!

Valentines Day ♥ Stardome Observatory
I heard the ad for this today…and thought I have to tell you what a cool Valentine’s Date Night it is! Me and My Darling went a few years ago. The Adopt a Star gift you get is awesome too. If you go, get to the observatory early though so you don’t miss out on the treats!
Want to impress on Valentine’s Day? Give your date the stars with a romantic evening at Stardome.
Grab a ticket and take all the credit for a memorable Valentine’s night.
We’ve turned up the romance with a night sky show that pays tribute to the most romantic celestial objects.
Tickets also include bubbles on arrival and canapes to be enjoyed before the show, while exploring the Space Gallery and Exhibits (hand-holding is encouraged).
You’ll also be treated to a Rush Munro‘s ice cream and a gift box that includes a bottle of bubbles, two champagne flutes, chocolate and an Adopt a Star pack!
Stunning Wedding Venues ♥ Castaways
A few weeks ago on a scorching hot summers day I married a beautiful couple at a stunning cliff top wedding venue.
Castaways overlooks Kariotahi Beach just outside of Waiuku, South Auckland.
The reception building is situated at the top of a rolling green hill. The dining room is decorated with a billowing white ceiling canopy that reflects the waves you look out over from the ceremony altar on the cliff edge.
It’s just striking – especially at sunset.
Plus they have very cool accommodation for you and your guests – I love the clamping option!

PhotoKombi ♥ Cool Retro Wedding Photo Booth
I was reminded of what an awesome idea PhotoKombi is at an event I attended on Friday.
Complete with props and speech bubbles that will have you and your guests in stitches. You sit down on a comfy booth seat (or the floor if you’re testing how many you can cram in the van for a photo opp!), pick your props, pose and the instant photos pop out for you to laugh at.
Create some unique and memorable photos of family and friends on your big day! They will even compile your photos in a cute glossy album for you.
Check them out at www.photokombi.com
(That’s me on the left in the bunny ears and glitter glasses- I couldn’t resist!)
Celebrity Weddings ♥ Sofia Vergara & Joe Manganiello
What a spectacular wedding for a spectacular couple!
The Modern Family starlet and Magic Mike hunk tied the knot last weekend in Florida.
Hot Joe couldn’t be more far removed from her on-screen older Modern Family husband Al from Married with Children!!
Sofia was walked down the aisle by her 22 year old son. Sofia married his father/her first husband in Columbia when she was only 18! Check out the retro wedding photo below.

Being in love is so good for you.
Being in love is so good for you.
Often when people are newly in love, things that have been bothering them for a long time get better. Something wonderful is calling the majority of their attention, so they’re holding themselves in a better vibrational place, so the stuff they’ve been wanting all along can now zoom in.
