Advantages of Eloping
1. In many cases the number one reason couples choose to elope is financial. This is especially true for couples who have been living together, already share a child or are not on their first marriage. Eloping seems like a romantic and financially conservative option.
2. It can also be to avoid the anxiety associated with the organisation and escape family drama. Planning a wedding is time consuming and stressful as the couple seeks to make everyone in the extended family happy to meet everyone’s needs.
3. Eloping means the focus is on each other. It can feel like re-prioritising back to the couple’s relationship and their wishes for the core part of the process of getting married, which is to stand together and promise to love and commit to one another.
4. Another reason can be to avoid religious and cultural clashes. If there are substantial differences in each person’s culture or religion about how a marriage ceremony traditionally is, the couple may elect to elope to avoid the family pressure or expectations around this. Or the couple may want to have their wedding be non-religious.
5. Location! On the Sunshine Coast there are many beautiful Often couples who elope do it somewhere fabulous. The expense that may have been spent on a ceremony with so many guests they don’t feel terribly close to instead they get to spent on a combination wedding-honeymoon in an exotic or lush paradise.

Civil Marriage Celebrant on Sunshine Coast – The Right Partner

Who should we Marry?

Finding the right life partner isn’t easy. We fall in love a number of times but are they really right for us?

Here is some advice from Abby Rodman from Life Lessons:

Marry someone you love with your whole heart. Someone who excites you emotionally, intellectually and sexually. Someone who “gets” you and isn’t out to change you. Nothing good will ever come of not being true to yourself.

Marry your best friend. Find a person you want to share things with — from the smallest detail of your day to the biggest plans for your life.

Marry someone you want to be with at the end of each day and until the end of your days.

Never get married because you think it’s time; get married because you’ve found the right person — no matter how much time that takes.

Marry someone with a beautiful soul. A person who isn’t afraid to show love or be loved.

Find the person who encourages you to be your best self. When you do, be good to them.

Express your gratitude and love daily to this person who is giving you the precious gift of sharing their life with you.
~Abby Rodman.

I am delighted to be a wedding celebrant and when you find that special person I would be happy to marry you!

Wet Weather Wedding Alternatives Angela Braby Marriage Celebrant South East Queensland

Rain or Shine

No one wants to think that it will rain on their wedding day however, it is so important to discuss with your Celebrant your wet weather alternatives. Weddings ceremonies are not fun for anyone in the pouring rain. One wedding I was asked to officiate was on top of the mountain when it had been raining all day. Despite having discussed the alternatives they were adamant on the day that it would go ahead in their chosen spot, as the rain continued both guests, wedding party and celebrant were pretty end wet, cold and although they smiled and looked happy to be married it was not what this couple had planned.

The following week a couple had a beautiful setting in a Hotel gardens as the storm approached I was grateful to the Bride who made the call in enough time to have it inside. The hotel had organised a great spot and were even happy to incorporate their little dog in one of the function rooms. We were all thankful to be inside as just as the ceremony began the thunder and the storm hit. The guests said it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies and no one seemed upset at the change of venue.

A thoughtful piece – Deciding Whether To Marry by Madisyn Taylor

The decision to marry should not be based solely on having the feeling of love in your heart.

Though we may make many commitments throughout our time on earth, few have a lifelong impact on the path our lives will take. The decision to marry someone you love–to bond yourself to them completely–is unlike any other and can reshape your existence. When two people have similar goals, values, and needs, marriage can result in a lifetime partnership of love and respect, shared laughter and tears, friendship, and intimacy that is ultimately fulfilling. Love is often cited as the sole prerequisite of a strong and stable married life. However, the decision to get married should be made with the mind and the soul as well as with the heart. Carefully considering whether you truly want to get married, both individually and as a couple, can ensure that if you do choose to marry, your relationship can grow to unimaginable depths. The decision-making process you employ to determine whether you should marry should be a thoughtful and honest one in which you appraise not only your partner but also yourself. Consider that love and attraction do not guarantee long-term compatibility. If your relationship is not secure, marriage will not make it so. Likewise, if your partner is not as attentive, loving, or kind as you would like, your becoming spouses will not change that. Marriage has no power to permanently fill any emotional or spiritual gaps in your life. Before you choose to marry, ask yourself whether you and your partner are adept at resolving conflict, can speak openly to one another, and fully respect one another. Your attitudes regarding the nature of marital commitment, children and child rearing, and marital roles may be the same or they may differ. It is your shared responsibility to discuss your similarities and come to agreements regarding your differences that will predict how successful your future marriage will be. Often times, younger couples rush into marriage just for the wedding dress, the ring, the party, and honeymoon. Would you still be willing to be married if you couldn’t have these things? Remember that planning a wedding is simple when compared to the intricacies of nurturing a marriage. The honeymoon and nesting period will eventually wear off, and what you are left with is a partner for life. When you work together with your partner, reassure and support one another, and are honest about your feelings regarding marriage, you’ll come to the right decision.
