Naomi and Lee’s wedding

12 months prior to their beautiful wedding, I helped Naomi and Lee honour their little boy Jack, who died when he was 3 weeks old. Together, we created a memorial service known as “Jack’s picnic’.

One of the highlights of my celebrant career is when Jack’s mum and dad invited me to be the celebrant for their wedding.

Naomi and Lee could have quite easily associated me with deep sadness and pain but instead, they only seen trust and connection.

It was a true privilege to stand beside them on one of the happiest days of their lives.

Just like on Jack’s special day, they were surrounded by their beautiful community who were so warm and welcoming to me once again.

This is what being a celebrant is all about.
