get to know your celebrant bestie.

Let’s play get to know your celebrant bestie with 17 random facts about me:

** first published on my Insta in 2022, it’s funny to see how some things have changed!

one

I am a child of the 80’s and so it’s only fitting my middle name is ‘Lee.’

three

My heritage is German, Austrian and Australian, but I only know food-related words in German. Kartoffelpuffer anyone?

four

I have a playlist on Spotify called ‘Rich + Thick’ - my favourite genre of music is layered, meaty and complex - think Greta Van Fleet’s ‘Heat Above.’

five

I once hit a tree in a tobogan on my first trip to the snow when I was five. I finally redeemed myself on our family ski trip the South Island in NZ in June 2023.

six

When I was 11, I thought it was entirely realistic that I may meet and marry Leonardo DeCaprio when I grew up. Titanic got me good.

seven

I never learned to drive a manual car.

eight

I moved to WA from NSW when I was in Year 7 and it definitely feels like home after 25 years!

nine

I have 17 tattoos and my favourite is a quote I live and love by: “Dare to Know.”

ten

I don’t like to study, and never went to uni, but I breezed through my Certificate IV in Celebrancy because I was so passionate about becoming a marriage celebrant.

eleven

I made it through to the second round of Masterchef in 2016. My homemade roast capsicum pasta is the business!

twelve

My daughter Eleanor was born at home (yes, intentionally!)

thirteen

If I had to eat one food for the rest of my life it would be angel hair pasta with butter, cream and parmesan. Yum!

two

My husband Jacob and I have the same middle name (yes, spelt ‘Lee’, too!)

fourteen

My husband and I eloped in New York City. Only our celebrant and photographer were in attendance, and in NYC, you only need one witness. Thanks Lynnsey from @lionladyphoto 🖤

fifteen

My favourite colour is black.

sixteen

I am uber-curious by nature and love to know how the human mind works.

seventeen

I overcame anxiety in my early 20s by studying mindfulness. It changed my life!

“What started me on this whole celebrant journey was the warmth of our celebrant when we eloped in NYC, and I wanted to recreate that for couples here in the South West of WA.”
