Oh, BLESSED DAY! Ya'll know that I'm not one to blow my own 🎺... 😉😅 but HOW GOOD to find out I am North Canterbury's most-booked celebrant - for the second year running 🥰 AND had the second highest number of weddings in all of Canterbury, up from fourth last year 💘 Congratulations to my fellow @christchurchcelebrants + @canz_nz gal @krissychristensencelebrant for hitching two more couples than me 💃

Not that it's about the numbers, of course, but it sure felt awesome to read today's stats 💘💝💕

Wanna know what lippie I'm lovin on at the moment? Karen Murrell 👄 💘

I was sent some of her 'sticks to try - and I can't get enough of them. Karen is predicting a summer in all hues of pink. Berries, brights, bolds – think pink in every shade possible! And, Karen's tagline - 'Nothing nasty touches my lips.' Who wouldn't love that!?

And, did you see today's article about @karenmurrellofficial's new collection? (Can't share the link on IG - but google wool keratin karen murrell !

Andrea and I were meant to be eloping away with a couple right now but sadly one of them caught the cove 😓 How rough is that! Thinking of you both today and sending you happy, healthy vibes - with this pic from Saturday's vow renewal. We'll get you both hitched soon enough and I'll even try to tame my hair down for it 💘💝💞😅

Yesterday WAS the best day! N + M are parents from school, and when @andreakewishphotography and I launched our elopement package a few years back, they wondered whether we could do the same package for a vow renewal - and we said YESSS! What a great idea 💘

Yesterday they celebrated 15 years of marriage alongside six of their seven children and other family members. It was such a beautiful occasion and Andrea and I were so grateful you chose us to be there with you.

“Thank you so much for today it was the best day xxx”

A love note in my DMs 🥰 From L + K 💕

"Thank you so much for a lovely day. Was just perfect and fuss-free and we had such a good time. The best way we could have got married! We really appreciate it!"

And, no matter what K says - I recognised him instantly across the produce section at the supermarket yesterday... In my defence, his high-vis was pretty different to his suit on Sunday 🤦🏼‍♀️😂😅

One thing to know when I'm your celebrant - I've got you!! Every. Single. Time. Whether you have 3 or 300 guests, I've got you for the lols, the love and the Kleenex 🥰 (oh, and I'll look after your guests too!! 🤣) cos I know how to juggle everything at once. I just love what I do, and I hope that you can tell 💘💕💝

Just loved Sunday's @northcanterburyweddings micro wedding at @darjonvineyard with K + H 🥰

Best. Moment. Ever 💘 After our elopement yesterday @chaznel_steenkamp_photography surprised me with a bottle of bubbles to do a bubbly shower to celebrate my 250th ceremony. How absolutely awesome and beautiful is that!! Such a kind soul 🥰 I'm such a noob, I was feeling so nervous as I walked into the forest to spray the fizzzzzz 😂 What a flippen awesome experience 💘💕💝

Feeling the LOVE!! Thanks so much, Chaz. It was soooo much fun!!

Blessed day 🥰

Thank you so much to the 250 couples who have chosen me to officiate their big day for them.

Today is the very first National Celebrants Day. Today is also the day I'll officiate my 250th ceremony 💘 I'm feeling incredibly grateful and blessed to have worked with so many couples and families within our community over the past six years. A business I've built from the ground up which now also includes @northcanterburyweddings, @christchurchcelebrants and working one-on-one with other wedding vendors to help build their own businesses.

I'm so grateful to Mr Books and Little (8-year-old) Books who are both so flexible with me and my small biz, knowing that we're not a "normal" family who works 9-5 Monday to Friday. But by doing what I do in my own hours means I get to be there for school drop offs and pick ups; can easily take school holidays off (with super strict hard work leading up to allllll the time they have off school); can support other full-time working parents by having their kids over before after-school activities; can be there for school outings etc etc.

Yep, I built by business around my family. There was absolutely no way I was going back to full-time journalism after having my babe and I'm so glad I didn't. Because I never would have discovered all that I have, and never would have thought I'd be working alongside other businesses. Never ever! Business was never my jam; writing and communicating was. And absolutely still is.

So - happy National Celebrants Day to all my lovely celebabe colleagues out there! I hope you have a moment to reflect on your own celebrant career today 💝

Tomorrow is the inaugural National Celebrants Day 💘 It makes me so happy that @canz_nz has initiated this six years after I became a celebabe as it gives me plenty of years to look back over and reflect on all the couples I’ve been so lucky to hitch 🥰

It’s seeing ceremony photos like this one that reminds me how much I blimmin love my job. Nothing forced, just joy.

Awww you guys! 🥲 Check this… My little celebrant heart went into overdrive as I was sending the final copy of tomorrow’s ceremony to my device and found a little note from my couple: “Thank you so much for all your hard work on this. It will be amazing.”

Fifteen little words to make my whole day!

Bring on tomorrow’s good times, H + K! Can’t wait!
