“We are family,

I got all my sisters with me”

Ceremonies Not Based on Gender


At last Australia has joined the rest of the world in legalising same sex marriages.

The fight for marriage equality took it's toll on many of us. We have marched, campaigned, supported and fought this battle hard so it holds huge meaning and emotion for all of us to finally be able to come together and share the precious right to marry whom we love and for it to be equal under the law, offering the same protections and laws that the wider population have benefited from.

I have been immersed in the LGBTIQA community for many years now and am proud and privileged to have already facilitated many marriages in our Queer community since the big "Yes" day.
