Chelsea and Matt met when they were just two fresh faced year 9 kids exchanging polite hellos and the occasional laugh after they found themselves sitting next to each other in class.
Matt, of course, was already testing his future “dad joke” material and Chelsea, gracious even then, knew how to reward bad humour with good laughter.
But it wasn’t until a spur-of-the-moment invitation to a Korean BBQ that things really started cooking…quite literally.
Surrounded by friends and sizzling meat, Chelsea thought…
“He’s funny… and pretty cute too.”
Fast-forward to the train ride home when it was just the two of them. That’s when the talking didn’t stop…and, truthfully, it never really has.
A huge congratulations @chelsea.ceee and @matt.maramot 💞
What a team!!!

If you’re thinking, “Wait—no, I didn’t know we could pick our own ‘I do’ questions” you are definitely not alone.
Most couples I speak to think they have to say “I do” to the traditional question…
To love and to cherish, for better for worse, in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, as long as you both shall live?
And while that question pops up a lot and means something to quite a few people- it’s kind of part of the beautiful marriage gig- it’s not the only way to do it.
That moment in your ceremony? It’s yours to customise.
You can write your own questions.
Pick from my planning kit.
Funny, heartfelt, light, modern…totally up to you!
Or even say “we do” together if that feels more like you two.
I’m looking at my couples that have been together for a really long time and finish each others sentences…
I’m all about options—not extra fluff.
Customising your “I do’s” is a sneaky way to make your ceremony completely personal, without making it longer.
Follow along for more engaging ceremony ideas ❤️
‘KISS’ was Tilly and Matthew’s focus for their simple yet utterly beautiful Monday ‘elopement’ at @coriole yesterday! With 3 beautiful young boys, Tilly and Matthew don’t have the time or energy to add extra planning to their plate, so they kept their expectations realistic, focused on quality over quantity, with a short very ‘them’ ceremony, a kick ass photographer, a small curated guest list and they celebrated with a delicious vip lunch with their family in a stunning location ❤️.
Congratulations Matthew and Tilly! 🥳

I GOT YOU 🥰! I’m all about you being ‘in the moment’ so the best way I know how to be intuitive to how you are really feeling during your ceremony is to check in with you when you arrive…no secondhand information…straight to the source.
And after a week, a month…heck…18 months of being all up in your head thinking about every minute detail my only aim in that moment is get you to forget about all that ‘shit’ that matters…but doesn’t really… because you are about to marry the love of your life…so you nervous laugh, I’m usually a bit cheeky, we cuddle, you and your team (if you have one) might be freakin out a little, but by the time I leave you, we’ve covered off the big stuff (like holding your bouquet near your lady garden 😉), you’re feeling as ready as you can be and most importantly you know with a doubt you are in good hands and then my dreams come true as I witness you enjoy every single minute marrying your person! 🤗.

When a wedding lives rent free in your brain…I am lucky enough to be a part of so many gorgeous weddings and Sarah and Sam’s was definitely one of them! They pulled together a team of kick ass talents to create their dream day at @anverswines in October!
When Sarah was asked what keeps her falling in love with her husband to be everyday she said:
“I love how kind Sam is, my life with him feels safe, supportive, and full of happiness. I also truly appreciate how hardworking and dedicated Sam is in supporting us. But mostly I just love Sam’s calming nature and relaxed, go-with-the-flow attitude which balances my super organised, over thinking brain at times”
And when Sam was asked what he loves most about the beautiful Sarah he said:
“I love Sarah’s caring and loyal heart- I consistently see her go out of her way to help others every single day and it never goes unnoticed. She is also a wonderful dog mum to Levi... Seriously, Levi and I are both living the dream with Sarah as the beating heart of our home, always supporting me and keeping me organised and on track ...thank God!”

THANK YOU to all my 2025 couples for putting your trust in me to marry you and enhance your already incredible wedding day vibes!!! Your support, faith in me and love make me one very busy and super stoked celebrant!!! Mwah! U love you 😘
*** Not all of my awesome couples are represented, due to not always getting a pic for some reason or their choice not to have their wedding posted on socials x
MERRY CHRISTMAS LEGENDS 🥂!! Cheers to all of you! Your love, support and encouragement are appreciated more than could ever know ❤️🙏🥰
Ps. I made personalised aprons for the whole fam 🤩
Two shy teenagers found themselves on opposite sides of the room in year 9 maths class. Bec was focused on equations. Sam… not so much.
He was too busy calculating the probability of her noticing him.
So he strategically joined the badminton team without a partner, which he’ll tell you was purely because of his lifelong passion for sport, and yet he ‘coincidentally’ found himself chatting to Bec at every game…. weird.
By Year 11, 2015, they’d gone from teammates to a couple, and Sam solidified the deal with the ultimate grand romantic gesture - gifting Bec a light-up pillow pet. Because nothing says true love like a glowing stuffed animal that stares lovingly at you in the dark.
And after over a decade together the rest as they say is history as we found ourselves soaking up the sunshine in the stunning @aldingasecretgarden yesterday for their simple, heartfelt and super gorgeous wedding!
Bec and Sam did things a little differently, they curated their guest list for their ceremony down to about 20 very close family and friends and then they were joined by the rest of their party people afterwards to celebrate!! 🍾
Their awesome team…

Standing in a space where everyone surrounding my incredible loved up couple exhales at the exact same time with them is on the list of really cool shit I get to experience as a part of my job 🥰
A week ago I stood in the heart of the magical @aldingasecretgarden and experienced a profound moment of connection with Rachel, Lucas and their very creative and talented loved ones.
As musicians and songwriters you can imagine how on point their vows were and I loved the moment when my dear friend Pete from @himandhermusic and I sat in this little nook in the garden as the birds chirped and these two stunning humans shared their heart’s promises with one another!
I will be forever grateful for my gorgeous friends Chelsea and Pete from @himandhermusic for recommending me to their long time musical buddies (and many other gorgeous couples)! Thank you legends! Such a treat ❤️
If I was to sum up Lucas and Rach’s family members speeches it would be “To know them is to love them” and I can attest to that!
A huge congratulations @rachelcoppenmusic and @lucasdaymusic ❤️❤️❤️

After six years, plenty of laughs, and one very hot, yet very stylish first date, Steve and Rach still describe themselves as “a little bit obsessed with each other”.
I felt incredibly privileged to be asked to marry this stunning couple after I marrying Rachel’s sister and brother in law a couple years ago. It was honestly like hanging out with my fam as I shared their beautiful story and listened to their heartfelt vows.
The Varricchio/Lazenka tribe sure do know how to make you fe welcome and cherished!
Three stunning cakes and an awesome team to boot! ❤️

For anyone that needs to hear this today…You’re doing a wonderful job! Maybe we should change it from ‘Imposter syndrome’ to just ‘being human, without an ego’ ❤️.

“Dear Vicky, from the very start you made Alex and I feel so comfortable! Your energy and fun personality has made this process feel like a breeze and we have loved every minute of planning with you.
We are so lucky to have had you marry us! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Love Amber and Alex Richter xx”
OMG! Thank you gorgeous two for your beautiful card (and choccies 😋) and for putting your trust in me! It has truly been an incredible journey and I absolutely loved every minute of getting to be a part of it with you too 🥰🥰🥰
#ilovemyjob #imarryawesomecouples 😘
From sharing their first kiss in year 10, many date days at their fave spot, Coriole, (which is now the place they tied the knot), to a sweet and slightly chaotic proposal at their other favourite spot, The Pavilions at Lenswood, Emma and Tobi’s love story has always felt unbelievably effortless, connected and full of hilarity.
Emma and Tobi…along with their family and friends…will tell you that their real secret is how they always seem to just find themselves on the same page.
When Emma was asked what keeps her falling in love with her husband to be everyday she said:
“I love Tobi’s ability to light up a room simply by being present. He brings warmth and happiness wherever he goes, and that’s something I’ll never stop falling for…”
And when Tobi was asked what he loves most about the beautiful Emma he said:
“Emma’s smile is infectious, and I love how her kind and caring heart seems endlessly capable of giving love. But mostly, I love the way she can make the whole world’s worries disappear with just one hug from her…”
Their gorgeous ceremony inclusions:
• Their fur baby Luna bought up the rings with a whole bunch of excitement…. she honestly had trouble keeping her feet on the ground she was that excited.
• Their beautiful Mums as their witnesses.
• Soft cozy blankets for all the guests- which everyone was very thankful for as it was a tad chilly when they shared their vows.
Congratulations beautiful two ❤️❤️❤️

Last night was absolutely epic! I can honestly say I’ve never cried at an ABIA Gala before, but the tears were definitely flowing when two of the most special women in my life—both of whom have faced incredible adversity to follow their passion—took out first place!
@amy_harrison_celebrant has had one of the hardest years of her life, yet I’ve watched her consistently put her couples’ needs and experiences first. When they announced her name, I was so overjoyed that I nearly squeezed the life out of her in a hug! “Umm Vic, I can’t breathe!”
And then, my best friend of over 30 years won first place in the Bridal Boutique category after an intense first year in business.
The sacrifices Bianca has made to chase her dream have been immense, so seeing her receive that recognition for her hard work was the best feeling in the world. Congratulations @thesposagroupadelaide !
Also my beautiful friend the stunning Tania from @choonsandmoovz tied with Dan from @foebiz.entertainment for the DJ category and shared her powerful journey with the room—it was truly moving.
Congratulations to all our gorgeous supplier friends! Whether you were a finalist, a winner, or simply part of this amazing community—you’re all winners in my eyes. xx
