Legal Requirements, Marriage Celebrants, Weddings, Your Celebrant

Does anyone object?

I had a phone call today from a bride whose upcoming wedding is in the planning stages. She asked if I as the celebrant would refrain from asking, “is there anyone here who objects to the wedding?” 

Her fiance’s mates are “characters” and the bride was nervous about the kind of responses that might be forthcoming.

She was very relieved that I replied that not only is it not a legal requirement to ask, “does anyone object?” but it’s also something that I don’t include in a ceremony. 

Everyone has that one friend…

Do you agree?

Legal wedding in Brisbane

Are you looking to have a simple, legal ceremony? Are you looking to be married soon? Did you know that in Australia, a couple needs to lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage a month before marrying?

One option for a simple and legal marriage is to be married at the Registry Office. For a similar price, you can also be legally married by a civil marriage celebrant.

As of today, Sunday 26th June, the first appointment available at the Brisbane Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages to lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage is July 27 – see screenshot. This means that the first day you could marry is August 27.

Whereas, as a civil celebrant, I am available to meet with you tomorrow evening when you finish work – that’s June 27. You could be married on July 27 – a whole month before the registry office.

Something to think about!
