Paperwork, decoded
Is your date still legal?
Australian law needs your Notice of Intended Marriage at least one calendar month before you marry — and no more than eighteen. Put your date in and find out exactly where you sit.
A guide only, not legal advice. In limited circumstances a prescribed authority can shorten the one-month notice period — if you are inside it, ask Sharon rather than assume.
Kind words
What couples say afterwards
Half the room was crying by the second paragraph and the other half was laughing. She somehow got both our families in there without it ever feeling like a list.
We are not ceremony people. We told her that at the first meeting. She wrote us something ten minutes long that we still quote at each other.
The paperwork side of it never once became our problem. She just quietly dealt with all of it and told us where to sign.
Thirty years married and she still found something new to say about us. Our kids had not heard half of those stories.
