  An Elopement is a very basic ceremony with only the couple and their two witnesses present but still requires exactly the same amount of legal paperwork

As the mother of four sons, one of whom is gay, I was absolutely thrilled when the YES vote went through Parliament.

I can’t tell you how excited I am that I now have the opportunity to officiate at the Weddings of same sex couples, where they have the same legal rights as all other Australians.

The absolute highlight of my celebrant career, was being able to officiate at my son’s wedding.
