Kiwi Valley Farm Yard Wedding.

The clouds dispersed and the sun came out for Kylie and Nigel as they took their vows in the grounds of the Kiwi Valley Farmyard  in Valley Road Henderson.

The lovely colours brightened up the winters day, like wise their smiles said it all. 

It was a small intimate wedding for this lovely couple and the guests enjoyed feeding the animals after the ceremony. 

All the best to you both, it was a lovely afternoon and a privilege to officiate.

Wedding Music : Auckland

Music  sets the mood and enriches the ceremony.

Today I was delighted to hear the beautiful music played on the harp by the lovely Lana Breed. 

I have met Lana playing at Weddings, Funerals,and  Memorial Services that I have officiated at.  Her music is suitable for most occassions and she is as lovely as her music.

Muriwai Beach Wedding: Elopement

Coming from Canada it was a simple process to be married in New Zealand without the expense of a larger wedding at home.

Orielle and Derek chose Muriwai Beach for their simple but meaningful ceremony.

It was certainly very windy as this lovely couple took their vows in the shelter of a New Zealand flax bush on the edge of a sand dune. 

. 

Marriages can be easily be arranged in New Zealand at reasonably short notice and it was my pleasure to be part of this important milestone in this couple's life.

All the best for a wonderful future together. ... Alexa.

This be the prayer we breathe for you today:

When you have reached the summit of life's hill'May it be possible for you to say,

Married long years, but we are lovers still. ... ANON.

Wedding Out West.

It was a gorgeous day for this lovely couple who took their vows at the  Markovina Estate in Kumeu. 

The sky couldn't have been clearer and the smiles on the faces of this happy couple, Suz and Alex told us what a happy day it was for them both, their family and friends as well.   After twenty years as a Celebrant I still get excited to officiate at weddings as I soak up the pleasure, the  joy and the wonderful atmosphere created by the couple and the guests alike.
