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."

and ethical.

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."

reactions.
