Nothing in the world fills my heart with love like the birth of a baby and at the same time the birth of a mother and father. I have previously shared with you my indescribable joy to meet my great niece, Imogen Rose, on her birth day and give hugs to the new mother and father. Of course her daddy is my nephew Kane.
The beginning of family life for Kane and Carly, living in London and welcoming the light of their life has given so much joy to our extended families. Here in OZ and also in the UK.
So Imogen was very helpful in participating in the proposal from Kane to Carly.

It would have been hard to say NO to this proposal.
It was a very happy time when we all heard that Carly and Kane were going to take the next step in their life journey together. For me, this was only enhanced by the news they decided to marry while visiting Australia for a holiday. What really blew me away was when they asked me to be their Celebrant.
Can you guess what I said???
Carly and Kane met when they bumped into each other literally at a music festival on new year’s eve a couple of years ago. Their romance involved lots of hanging out together and then being separated. Carly was doing the English girl travel around OZ and Asia thing. Intense time together and missing each other when apart soon defines whether a couple are really committed to each other. The decision for Kane to move to the UK was not a tough one and they have not looked back.
They are both personalities who love to party and enjoy the company of others, so a pool party with family and friends was no surprise for how they wanted to mark their special ceremony.

…There was no doubt they would party, as they
...danced their way in together
So let’s get married…standing beside my nephew and my soon to be niece in law made me one very happy Auntie Debby. I felt like my heart would leap out of chest as it was so full of happy love and pride as I watched these darling two make their commitments. How amazing…cradled the baby boy in my arms and now standing here watching this man, all grown up, handsome and serious, as he pledged his love.
Carly was joined by an absolutely gorgeous friend from Scotland, darling Lauren and Jesse, Kane’s brother was there to keep an eye on events. Imogen held the rings and right on cue when she was mentioned in the ceremony, she made sure people knew who she was by smiling profusely for the cameras to take her photo.
Imogen was very happy to join in the party activities.
A very emotional Kane and Carly listened to a message I had received from Chris, Carly’s father. He had sent it on behalf of Barbara Carly’s mum and himself. As they were unable to travel from UK, with me being the Celebrant, it meant I could incorporate a message from them into the ceremony. There were not too many dry eyes after hearing the beautiful words offering blessings to the day and welcoming Kane as their son-in-law. What a privilege it was to be able to do that for them all.
Now we are married
Love is a temporary madness,
it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides.
And when it subsides you have to make a decision.
You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together
that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness,
it is not excitement,
it is not the promulgation of eternal passion.
That is just being "in love" which any fool can do.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away,
and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Those that truly love, have roots that grow towards each other underground,
and when all the pretty blossom have fallen from their branches,
they find that they are one tree and not two.
