I am a Marriage Celebrant in the Clarence Valley.
I love weddings. Plain and simple. Each wedding has their own special magic and that magic is shared with all of the guests. And I am extremely lucky as I get to witness these magical moments lots of times throughout each year.
My first wedding was in 2006, and I have been hooked ever since. My first couple was the beautiful Meredith and the wonderful Wayne.
I got married to Joe in 2001. Joe is a Tucabia lad, and his family origins go way back to the first white settlement of the Clarence River, so he is a Valley man, through and through.
My mother giving me away……….and suggesting that I shouldn’t ever need to move back to her place again.
I have moved many times in my life, having lived in Sydney, Corowa, Newcastle, Lawrence, Brooms Head Melbourne, Byron Bay, the South Coast of NSW, and now Grafton.

I was a Library Manager for a great number of years, in Sydney at Campbelltown and on the South Coast of NSW. I was also the Grafton Branch Librarian many years ago when I was a young woman, and the Grafton Library was still in Prince Street.

I have one daughter, and two granddaughters, and they live in the city.

Hubby and I share our lives with our much loved pets.
Mungo and Otis. Surveying the neighbourhood.
Felix and Finbar lying wherever they please. (white cat hair is a nightmare).
I have just completed my Diploma of Family History from the University of Tasmania, and when I have time I love finding new information about people on our family trees. And, this does include visits to cemeteries!
An ancestor.
And now, Hubby and I are back. He is running his own business, and I am now a Marriage Celebrant in the Clarence Valley. Perfect.
To be continued, next week!
