As seen on Polka Dot Weddings Wisdom"When it comes to weddings, tradition often takes centre stage, but what if those traditions don’t quite reflect who you are as a couple? In today’s brilliant piece from celebrant, Jennifer Cram, she explores how today’s couples can honour the past while shaping ceremonies that feel authentic, inclusive, and true to their values. With years of experience guiding couples through the most meaningful part of their wedding day, Jennifer offers a refreshing perspective on navigating customs, balancing family expectations, and rethinking wedding traditions or rituals, so that your wedding day is unmistakably yours."  https://polkadotwedding.com/2025/09/rethinking-wedding-traditions-a-modern-perspective/

Consent, Ceremonies and Celebrants

In this article I explore the three types of consent that are relevant to getting married and wedding ceremonies: Real Consent, Informed Consent, and Intimate Consent and how each of these plays out in the context of the ceremony to ensure it is both legal and ethical.
The Celebrant, Issue 10, December 2021, pp 59-68
Facebook and Instagram posts by the Editor, Veronika Robinson, said this about this article: "Without doubt, this is one of the most important topics of all for celebrants, and one not covered by training schools with any of the depth and insight this author has shown. If you think you know what consent means, I can assure you that you don't unless you've read (understood and integrated) this. Your celebrant work will change if you bring this level of awareness into your practice."

Writing Vows the Easy Way

Writing your personal promises can be remarkably easy.
