Everyone says that weddings are a celebration... so why on earth do we put up with ceremonies that are boring and as far away as possible from being a celebration?

Many people think the real "celebration" starts at the reception - I ask Why? Who wrote that stupid rule? Why can't it start at the ceremony? Let the fun begin early and let's get the guests interacting and actually enjoying the ceremony. Culturally, we've been taught to 'endure' wedding ceremonies - be good boys and girls. Be quiet and respectful. I reckon that's all rubbish. You deserve a ceremony that reflects you both. So, don't have a boring ceremony if you're not boring people! You have a choice now!

Ok, so what sort of ceremony do you want? You obviously want a fun modern ceremony because you're still reading... so, you can choose between -

• a standard fun and lighthearted ceremony
• an elopement or weddingmoon (otherwise known as a "destination wedding")
• a quiki 'wiki' wedding
• a coffee table wedding
• and what they all have in common
• stuff other than weddings

THE QUICKI 'WIKI'* WEDDING

Just really want to get married without all the bother? If you're not interested in a huge ceremony and you would prefer a group of mates catching up for drinks on the beach then this is for you. The Wiki is a short and simple ceremony, sort of like a registry wedding but on the beach or in a park (or wherever)! Remembering though, that I don't do boring so I don't all of a sudden turn into the Clerk of the Court - we'll still have fun!

A wiki wedding will take about 5 minutes from start to finish and you can write your own vows if you want - or just let me do it all.

There are conditions for the Wiki wedding and they are: 1. The ceremony must be on the Sunshine Coast and 2. on a weekday (Monday - Thursday). 3. No more than 10 guests.

* 'Wiki' is an Hawaiian word meaning little - so its appropriate!.
