Valentine Wish

PEG AND POG SEND A VALENTINE WISH

Peg and Pog send a very special Valentine wish to all lovers. Each year, 14 February is the special day to celebrate romance! Of course not everyone can arrange their wedding for 14 February. Contact Glenda and choose your own romantic date to celebrate your Valentine Wedding!

Romance is in the Air

Romance! What exactly does it mean? According to the dictionary, the countable noun, ‘romance’ is “a feeling of excitement that you get from new and slightly dangerous experiences.” Wow! This is explosive stuff!

How Peg and Pog Found Romance

Until Pog met Peg, he had not done anything particularly exciting or dangerous. Pog was into break-dancing. Of course, break-dancing alone at home, did not set Pog up for any likely romantic experiences.

Peg and Pog stars of Dolls are Different, or are they?

Peg and Pog know a thing or two about Romance

Pog’s unique execution of the ‘orbital rotation’ break-dance move, is the catapult (literally) that lands him among the roses and at last he finds romance.

Peg captures the very essence of romance in the language of love as only she knows how.

Can Pog say ‘no’ to the angelic vision of Peg as he regains consciousness (among the roses)? Of course not! The only response he can offer is that of a gentleman, “Yes, thank you very much.”

Such sensitivity! Such insight! The wonder and mystery that overtakes Peg and Pog must be romance. Feelings of ecstasy, unconditional love and joy as two souls reach out to each other and meld together in harmony!

What Peg actually says to Pog is not important. For Pog, the message is clear and he is excited. That is all that matters. The language of love is indeed powerful and potent. It sweeps all concerns away and, as Pog discovers, it can snap a fella from a dazed state to one of full alertness in a moment!

Personal Wedding Vows

Words for Personal Wedding Vows

Would you like to make your personal wedding vows? Many couples choose to make their ow special wedding vows or promises to each other in their wedding ceremony. These personalised vows are usually made just before or just after the legal marriage vows. Sometimes both parties write their vows individually, and sometimes they share a common vow.

Personal Wedding Vows

By far the most popular personal vows are individual vows.

Quite often the words in the vows are kept ‘secret’ from the other party until the wedding day!

Don’t know where to start with your vows? Yes, I will help you to write them!

Presentation is important, especially on your wedding day! As Brisbane’s Really Good Celebrant, I attend to the details that make all the difference. I match the colours for your vow booklets to your chosen wedding colours.

Wishes and Words for Personal Wedding Vows

Wishes and words for personal wedding vows come from the heart. They express your personal hopes, dreams and values for your marriage. Choose the words that you and your partner understand and appreciate. After all, they are your words.

Have fun with your vows! Use words that you like and that you understand. The only rule to follow is: “Vows are respectful.” Apply this rule to everyone involved in your wedding ceremony and your guests. Think about the people who will hear you say your vows and ask yourself this question, “Do I want them to hear these words?” Keep the more intimate words and expressions for private conversations with your partner!

Writing Personal Vows

So you want to write your personal vows? Make a start! Write notes about all sorts of ideas, collect examples of vows and write something that you feel is ‘right for you’. Jot down a few points about what you bring to the marriage and what you wish for married life, then write your personal vow.

Need inspiration? Here are some suggested links to wedding vows sites to help you get started.

Brisbane Celebrant Weds Love Ducks

Brisbane Celebrant Weds Ducks in Love

Wow! How time flies! Back in the day this was big news and guess what? It still is! Brisbane and Bayside areas are fantastic places for weddings. The Wynnum-Manly-Lota area is easy to get to from the Brisbane CBD. It is close to the Gateway Motorway, linking the northern and southern areas of Brisbane.

Glenda J Ashleigh, Brisbane Celebrant weds the delightful love ducks in a ‘first’ for Brisbane. Brisbane ducks will never be the same! These ‘luvducks’ will say ‘I do’ in the beautiful Brisbane Bayside suburb of Manly.

Brisbane ducks will gather to witness the Bride & Groom being joined for evermore in duck love.

The wedding pond is a romantic wedding venue where the Bride & Groom first found love. The Bride & Groom will display their love with a large ‘Love’ sign.

Brisbane Celebrant, Glenda Ashleigh is very good at guiding nervous Brides & Grooms (including ducks) through their romantic wedding vows.

There will be much ‘happy flapping’ when the Groom gives the Bride an affectionate peck at the end of the ceremony.

Brisbane’s Beautiful Bayside

Duck family and friends are delighted that the two ‘luvducks’ will be wed in Brisbane’s Beautiful Bayside.

The Wynnum-Manly-Lota area on Moreton Bay has many great venues for wedding ceremonies all year round. This suits ducks just fine as the water is never far away. Lovely sea breezes during summer days allow ducks to relax and enjoy themselves. Winter days by the bay are a duck’s delight with sunshine glinting on the water.
