ABOUT ME
October 2021
I am Casey, I was married in October of 2021 I have 3 beautiful children and a husband that I love dearly, I really feel understanding the commitment you are making when you get married is so important, and much more than through sickness and health - Thats what we are doing, and what I hope you can do too, this isn’t the start of your story but the next chapter, and I’m so excited for you!
Held at Benean Winery in Pokolbin (a personal fave) Our beautiful family friend Jody married us, and I will never ever forget just how special it was to have such an amazing celebrant, my goal & promise is to bring that same magic to your special day, as after all, you really will remember it forever.
PS. Thats Jodys Combi to the right, Let me know if you want to enquire about hiring it for your wedding and I can link you through!
THE PROCESS
Step One
You first need to complete a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM). You must lodge the NOIM with your chosen celebrant (Hopefully me) at least one month (and no more than 18 months) before your chosen wedding date - We can do this at the same time we meet greet & I hand you my service agreement, or we can do it later if you need some time to mull it over.
Step Two
After we have the service agreement in place, booking fee retained, and the NOIM sorted, we can get to working on on your ceremony as - Depending on which package you choose, this could mean a few different drafts being sent off (and of course if you have personal vows these will be sent to me privately to be added in)
Step Three
The week before the wedding I will send draft copies of the below documents to you for review, this is so I can make sure there are no administrative errors that could cause hiccups on the day.
the Declaration of No Legal Impediment to Marriage (DONLIM) We will sign either at your rehearsal, or the final individual meeting with you just before the wedding (As per the marriage act your celebrant must meet with each party individually prior to the wedding)
the Official Certificate of Marriage
the Form 15 Certificate of Marriage.
I will send these to Births Deaths and Marriages after the ceremony, and arrange to have marriage registered with Births deaths and marriages on your behalf.
Step Four
We get you married!
We meet at your ceremony, and have the best day ever, we sign your Official Marriage certificate (OCM) & Form 15, I pronounce you married, and you have what I can only hope if the best time of your life starting your new journey.
While you live out your honeymoon bliss, Ill get to working on having the marriage registered with Births deaths and Marriages.
WHAT THE FORMS ARE FOR?
THE NOTICE OF INTENDED TO MARRIAGE (NOIM) - This form needs to be lodged to your celebrant at least 1 calendar month before the wedding, no shotgun weddings or rash decisions.
THE DECLARATION OF NO LEGAL IMPEDIMENT (DONLIM) - This ‘essentially’ is you signing to agree that you are over 18, you are not related to your future spouse, and that you are not already married - Ideally we sign this as close to the wedding as possible.
THE OFFICIAL CERTIFICATE OF MARRIAGE (OCM) - This is the legal document we sign on the day during your ceremony, which allows me to formally pronounce you married. This form is submitted to Births Deaths and marriages, and serves as proof of the marriage for it to be registered.
FORM 15 MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE - This is the pretty marriage certificate that you take home and frame, If you would like this pre-filled by a calligrapher, I can make that happen.
