The celebrant with a sense of humour. I was appointed a Marriage Celebrant in 2004 after completing my training in 2003. Since then I have conducted many weddings all over Western Australia from Kununurra to Narrogin and Merredin. Most have been in the Perth Metropolitan area though. See some of over 60 location that I have conducted weddings at. I bring to ceremonies a strong voice, a commanding presence and thoroughly enjoy conducting the ceremonies. I have a great sense of humour which I like to use in the ceremonies as well. All of the photo's of weddings on this site are from couples I have married who have given me permission to use the photo on this website. This website has lots of photo's on it to give you ideas for your ceremony. BUNBURY BRIDES

Legal Information
| Getting married in Australia is quite
straight forward. You simply have to lodge a
Notice of Intended Marriage Form with me at least one month and
one day before you get married. If you are unable to have me
witness your signatures , there is a list of people on page 4 who are
authorised to do this, so you can get a person with that title to
witness your signatures. Then send it off to me.
Note Commissioner of Declarations are no longer accepted as witnesses. You then need to prove (before you can get married), by official certificates written in, or translated into, English that you are 1. who you are (by original birth certificate (or birth extract) or NON AUSTRALIAN Passport - if you were born outside of Australia) 2. that you are free to marry ( because you have never married, are divorced or widow/widower). If you have been married previously I need to sight either original Divorce or Death certificates to explain why you are now free to marry. 3. that you are of legal age to marry (generally over 18 years) 4. that there are no legal reasons why you should not get married.
If you cannot provide some or all of the above details we are allowed to
ask you to provide a Statutory declaration as to the details. This
applies to where the information is NOT available to a person eg through
displacement or war. Normally, not having enough time is not a reason
for using a Statutory Declaration. If you are overseas and are planning on a holiday /elopement wedding the above conditions apply. I have married many couples who live overseas and have come to our warm shores to get married. We can sort everything out by email, and snail mail then meet up when you arrive. Much more legal information is on a separate page If you have any questions, contact Graham on
graham@formywedding.com.au for the moment |

Visa Weddings.
or for much more details see my separate website

This is where an Australian citizen is applying for a
Visa through DIMIA to bring a fiancee into Australia with the intention
of getting married and living here. I conduct many such weddings per
year. I am happy to support couples in their process from the marriage
ceremony aspects. I can not give advice about what you have to do to
apply I am sorry. If you would like a letter about your intention to marry a fiance who is not an Australian Citizen and are applying for a fiancee Visa - contact me as soon as possible, and I will give you the necessary letter to give to DIMIA as part of your application. Email me for more details - graham@formywedding.com.au |

What couples get from me is a letter stating that they
(one or both of the couple) have signed a Notice of Intended Marriage (NIM)
form, lodged it with me to be married on a date we have negotiated, and
paid a non refundable Booking Fee with me. I then write the letter and
give the person who lodges the NIM with me 4 copies of the letter. A
date for marriage generally has to be fixed for the Visa application
process, but once you have the visa, you may then renegotiate with me.
For much more details see my VISA
PAGES or
www.visaweddings.com.au . Email, or phone, me if you would like to see me quickly about getting a letter. |

Need a Birth, Death or Marriage certificate from Western Australia Births Deaths and Marriages section? This can be used to request a marriage certificate after you are married in Western Australia. If you like, you can give the completed form to me (your celebrant) before the wedding - I will submit it with the other documents and this will possibly help speed up delivery of the certificate.
Contact Graham
For the time being please contact Graham by email at
graham@formywedding.com.au with details about the date, proposed
start time, and location and I will get back to you as quickly as I can. I
try to get back to emailers the same day.

Please note: after you send this form enquiry to me
I will respond quickly. If I return your enquiry and indicate I am currently
available to conduct your wedding - that means I have no confirmed bookings
at that moment. I may well have others interested in the same date and
time but not confirmed yet. Bookings are only confirmed when the Booking Fee is paid and the Notice of Intended Marriage is with me ( or we have come
to some arrangement about confirming the booking separately, in writing or
over the email).

There are no legal documents to be submitted to any registry of
births, death and marriages. So the actual ceremony is wide open for you to use your
creative abilities and to fulfil, as far as possible, the wishes of the parents. I have
examples of ceremonies which I provide to clients to use as a guide. |
| Full details are on a separate page.
Click here - Funeral Celebrant The deceased's favourite music is played when entering the chapel, during the reflection and on leaving. Fee: from $300 These will be discussed up front and are all inclusive. |
|
COMMITMENT CEREMONIES: |
| Commitment Ceremonies offer a less
formal approach to the celebration of a partnership by providing you with a unique and very special opportunity to celebrate the union of two persons.
We would design a special ceremony to honour your commitment to each other to suit your
requirements, your beliefs and your lifestyle. These may be same sex ceremonies as well. These ceremonies are arranged exactly the same as marriages but
it must be made clear it can not be a pretend marriage. This is illegal. Instead it will
be presented as a commitment. Fee: from $300 These will be discussed up front and are all inclusive. |
REAFFIRMATION OF VOWS: |
| These ceremonies are to reaffirm your vows
previously made. You may for example, have been married overseas, away from your family,
friends and home, and wish to have a ceremony at home to share your joy and happiness with
those closest to you. Alternatively, you may wish to reaffirm your vows to celebrate your
anniversary, whether it be one year or 50 years. Whilst such a special ceremony provides
you with a very special opportunity to reflect, rejoice and celebrate your years together,
it also allows you to recommit to the future by renewing your vows and involving your
children and grandchildren in the ceremony. The ceremonies are similar to marriage
ceremonies in structure. The content may vary as the reasons for the ceremony and the why
they want it may differ to when they got married. Again it must be made clear it is not
another marriage, rather a renewal. It is illegal to pretend to officiate at a marriage
ceremony when, in fact, it is not such a ceremony. Fee: from $300 These will be discussed up front and are all inclusive. |
Meeting before the Ceremony or Funeral I like meet with the key stakeholders. This is what gives the
ceremony its personal touch and importance.
