How beautiful are weddings? They are in that sweet spot of:
- living in the moment
- planning your future
They are a time for celebration, for a get-togethers (a party) and for full-on fun.
Ah but, that packs a punch of stress too. That’s where your friendly, experienced and wise celebrant comes in darn handy. Having worked in Learning and Development for ‘cough number’ of years (3 decades), I have been steeped in the knack of mediating, people and logistic problem solving, or at the very least, reviewing perspectives to soften some of the punches.
In this season alone, I have been there to sooth and smooth various wedding woes. Always, always, the absolute focus is how to stick to the three goals of a wedding – in order of priority:
- the couple get married
- the couple get to enjoy their day
- the guests get to have fun too
Little things sometimes happen,– the wee ‘disasters’ are often a highlight of the day. They ground things as being authentic and, waaaaaay more often than not, tickle everyone into grins and laughter.
