I am very daggy. I love limbo. ⁠ Can we have it I am very daggy. I love limbo. ⁠ Can we have it at every wedding?⁠ Oh.....and ⁠ this is my "I'm not too old to limbo face"⁠ .⁠ .⁠ We had so much fun at Michelle and Julian's big day, with so many good friends. How could I not look like this?⁠ .⁠ Thanks ( I think) to my dear friends at @weareorigamiphoto for the pics and to @dj.dumplings for the soundtrack....⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #rpmarrymeandbeourmctoo #sydneymc #mctoo #limboonthedancefloor #thereturnofthedancingmc #theweddingpixie #wearethemcs⁠ #weareorigami #weareorigamiphoto #weddingceremony #sydneycelebrant #marriagecelebrantsydney #theweddingpixie #weddingcelebrant #weddingpixieswordsofwisdom #keepweddingsreal #rpmarryme #howtoido
Friends know. ⁠ ⁠ This is me, after tripping a Friends know. ⁠ ⁠ This is me, after tripping and landing flat on my butt and swearing - at the beginning of Hazel and Chien's ceremony at Curzon Hall.⁠ I know there was a split second in @russellstaffordphotography 's mind where he wondered whether or not to immortalise my blunder. Should he take the photo? Should he not? Yes, he should. He did. He knows me.⁠ .⁠ Life is about blunders here and there. We fall. We get up. We make mistakes . We learn from them. We laugh about them. We move on. Marriage is a bit like that. Weddings are too.⁠ .⁠ Big love to everyone who ever took a photo of me doing something silly in front of a camera. One day, I'm going to create my own blooper reel. I can't wait.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #weddingceremony #sydneycelebrant #marriagecelebrantsydney #theweddingpixie #weddingcelebrant #woops #ifellover #weddingpixieswordsofwisdom #russellrocks #keepweddingsreal #rpmarryme #howtoido #russellstafford #russellstaffordphotography
Here I am, just blending into the background, lett Here I am, just blending into the background, letting the story unfold and bringing the guests along for the ride, while David and Kanako finally tied the knot and my amazing friend @russellstaffordphotography did his thing.⁠ .⁠ Weddings can be so many things. Big and loud. Tiny and intimate. They can be so different, and yet, entirely the same, creating the story of the moment in your life that you took a giant, romantic step into the future. Together. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠
When Moolod and Emad first contacted me about thei When Moolod and Emad first contacted me about their wedding, pre-covid, we had a long wait on our hands. We waited and waited and finally, we had the go ahead. They told me it would be very small. Just a couple of people, outside, no fuss. Hmm, I thought to myself. I've learnt that what you think is "small and no fuss" is so often not what it turns out to be. ⁠ So, I wrote them a beautiful personalised ceremony and suggested that with the weather being so unpredictable, they should consider an indoor option. They agreed. I got dressed and went off to marry them. This is what I saw. A proper Persian wedding set up (that we could never have done outside ) .⁠ .⁠ I know how this works. I know what all this means. I asked them for the sugar - and who would hold the cloth over their heads? They stared at me in shock. How did I know? They'd never mentioned it to me. They had assumed that it couldn't be part of their ceremony because I'm not Iranian and I probably wouldn't/couldn't be bothered with their cultural traditions, let alone understand them.⁠ .⁠ Their faces lit up when I took charge and insisted that we grind the sugar into the cloth over their heads as they made their vows. They might be here in Australia, away from Iran and most of their families, but this small custom that means so much could bring them closer to what they hold dear. ⁠ .⁠ Culture and history and family and marriage, all intertwined, all connecting. I'm in. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠
Who, really, could ask for more than each other, a Who, really, could ask for more than each other, a little sunshine, and a pack of donuts to share on their wedding day?⁠ .⁠ These two kept their big day so small that the team at @soulmadestories were photographer/ videographer/ and witnesses. ⁠ ⁠ Five people. ⁠ ⁠ That's all it takes to get hitched in Australia. ⁠ The donuts are a bonus.......⁠ ⁠ Want to get mini-married?
Gobsmacked.⁠ This was quite possibly the most mo Gobsmacked.⁠ This was quite possibly the most moving, most touching, most beautiful and heartfelt Father of The Bride speech that I have ever heard. Chi Chi's adoring stepdad brought us all to tears with stories of how he befriended little Chi Chi (with food) . Then to blow us all away, he pulled out all the pictures and paintings she had done for him as a child and the cards she had written him - that he had treasured for over 20 years. ⁠ .⁠ We will never ever forget it, will we @dustinlingsyd ? ⁠ ⁠ There's no art in these heartwarming pics by @dustinlingsyd- and none necessary. Where there is heart, where there is love, the best we can do is to record it to save forever. We cannot alter or manufacture perfection, but we can remember it. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ #rpmarrymeandbeourmctoo #sydneymc #mctoo #fatherofthebridespeech #bestspeech ever #thereturnofthedancingmc #dustinlingsyd #theweddingpixie #wearethemcs #dustinlingphoto #dustinlingvideo
If ever I looked at a shoe shot and saw art in its If ever I looked at a shoe shot and saw art in its place, it is here. I'm thinking Swan Lake. Ballerinas delicately tying ribbons around their ankles, swathed in tulle . @luvialiang you are so pretty!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ @cjpicture_au oh, wow.......⁠
Real, honest, joyful moments are not created by ca Real, honest, joyful moments are not created by cameras, they are captured by them. There were so many faces of joy at Tandy and Sheallane's beautiful (and utterly freezing cold) May wedding at @bendooleyestate.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ Of course, my dear and wonderful friend @msannmarieyuen captured and created every kind of glorious for them, but I always love the unscripted the most.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ .⁠ #weddingceremony #sydneycelebrant #marriagecelebrantsydney #ohmsannmarieyuenyouare delightful #theweddingpixie #weddingcelebrant #weddingpixieswordsofwisdom #keepweddingsreal #rpmarryme #howtoido #anmarieyuen #msannmarieyuen
No, don't look at me. Look at them. They're laughi No, don't look at me. Look at them. They're laughing. They're enjoying their moment, probably more than they expected to. "Oh, it's only small, Robyn. Just a few family. No big fuss...." But I think that small is an opportunity . To be relaxed in that moment, without fear of what it looks like, or what others will think. In this case, small allowed us to get started, forgetting that Luvia hadn't dialled her sister in, then remember, stop, have a good laugh and start again. We'd never be able to do that with 100 guests. ⁠ .⁠ Very special pics of Luvia and Neil's at home wedding by my dear friend @cjpicture_au. ⁠ Feels ? Assisted by me.....⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .

I wanted to say a big thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! You really were our wedding pixie and added that extra bit of magic to our special day!!

Juliana & John

We wanted to thank you so much for everything: making our ceremony the most perfect with your lovely energy, words and gorgeous self.

Karen & Ace

I can honestly say that I don’t think the ceremony would have been anywhere near as great had we not had you as our celebrant.

Jaeleen & Steve

It really was a perfect day in our eyes. You made the most important part of the day special, personal, and most importantly humourous! 

Anna & Dom
