Part of a civil celebrants ‘role description’ is to help
the couple, planning a wedding, choose or approve their
own wedding ceremony from start to finish.
Lots of preparation and networking will make the
day fantastic, not only the ceremony but the reception
as well. The
celebrant is only at the ceremony to make the wedding
legal by the standards of the Attorney Generals Office
and BDM in the state in which you are to be married.
They are the legal representatives and only a
person with a number registration can do this.
As I have said before in my column the monitum, or
warning, the asking and the vows and the signing of the
official documents are what make it legal in Australia.
So, get in and have a go and create your own
special and unique ceremony.
You only need to talk to your celebrant about
this to help and guide you all they can and if not maybe
you need to look for a celebrant further-a-field.
Wedding Cakes; I never realised just how much work goes
into them.
It’s a tradition that’s been around since medieval
times, but it is not compulsory so, if you don’t want
one don’t have one.
Your wedding cake is a great opportunity to
express your individuality.
Wedding cakes were once seen as a sign of
fertility and were white both inside and out.
They have become a centrepiece for the reception
room as everyone wants to take a photo of the bride and
groom cutting the cake; it’s a sign of unity.
So, make sure its both photogenic and yummy!!!.
Begin planning the wedding cake at least 4 months
before the big day.
A handy hint; use the size of your guest list as
a guide to the size of your cake.
When thinking about the cake discussion is needed on who
will prepare and/or ice this magnificent creation: -
a). Will you
out-source? Meaning made to your own individual
design
by a specialist cake maker.
Cake and wedding
magazines
are a good place to look for designs.
b). Will you buy
your wedding cake off the shelf? – A pre made
cake
from a shop.
c). Will a
friend or ‘word of mouth’ clever person create your
mouth-watering
sensation?
Tiered fruitcakes are a great wedding tradition however,
in the changing face of weddings, carrot cake, chocolate
mud cake and profiteroles are just as acceptable.
I guess the golden rule for the beautiful bride would be
if the wedding dress is a tad tight don’t over indulge.
Not such a good look fossicking around the
insides of the cake looking for the elusive pearl
covered button that popped as you bent over to slice
that second piece of scrumptious cake. YUM YUM!!
Regards,
Annie.
