Meghan & Rohan don’t take themselves too seriously.  They enjoy a laugh and they really wanted their wedding to be a fun but meaningful part of their day.

They both work incredibly hard with their plans for the future including living amongst the wide open spaces of their farm which is located not far from the the idyllic area of Daylesford.

They chose Grange Bellinzona to get married as the property lends itself to allowing their guests, many whom had travelled from Melbourne, to make a weekend of it.   It is a beautiful property nestled in the heart of Hepburn Springs and it oozes old world charm – the perfect location for a romantic Australian countryside wedding.

Surrounded by the sounds of the Australian Bush, the girls spent the morning in their cottage on the property, relaxing and putting the finishing touches on getting ready

Along with Meghan’s attendants their little 1year old flower girl Pippa who had recently learned how to walk, toddled up the aisle was causing the guests to collective “ooh & ahh”

Finally the moment arrived as Meghan appeared at the top of the aisle and locked eyes with the man who would soon be her husband.   The smile on her face said it all.

Any nerves that Rohan may have had disappeared as Meghan walked towards him.

There were many times during their ceremony that I had to wait for the laughter from their guests to subside including when their best man Shane pretended he couldn’t find the rings.   Their guests enjoyed hearing about their first impressions of each other when the initially met at Swing dancing classes.   Their ceremony was a true reflection of who they are individually and as a couple.

Some of Meghan’s personalised vows declared  “I have fun sharing hopes and goals with you but I know that I wouldn’t enjoy reality with anyone else” while Rohan’s vows included the words “I will help you when you need help, and turn to you when I need help. I choose you as the person I want to spend the rest of my life with”

With the official proceedings taken care, it was time to relax and enjoy the afternoon sun with their guests before heading off to their farm with their wonderful photographer Alan from AJ Photography to capture memories to last a life time

Meghan & Rohan are such a great couple and it was my absolute pleasure to make them a Mr & Mrs.  We had so much fun together and it is lovely to receive this lovely review from them.

“From the moment we met Fiona we knew she was the perfect celebrant for us. She listened to everything we said and more importantly to what we didn’t say!

The ceremony she wrote was personal, humorous and touching and we had more than one guest comment that it was the best ceremony they had attended. We can’t thank you enough Fiona for creating a day we won’t forget!! We can only hope some of our friends will book you so we can experience one of your ceremonies from the other side”
