7 Reasons Second Timers Pick Celebrants
"Saying 'I Do' Again: Why Second-Time Lovebirds Go for Celebrants"
Let’s talk about why couples going for round two in the marriage game often opt for something a bit different, a bit more personal and fun. This time really is the happily ever after and they know it. They feel so lucky to have met someone who they feel this way about as at times didn’t think it was possible.
They want to celebrate their love and their story and all the entwined lives their way this time.
So, why do they choose wedding celebrants to make their special day uniquely theirs?
Ditching the Old Traditions
First-time weddings when people marry young tend to follow a set script, one that might be more about what the parents want than what the couple truly desires. Second-time lovebirds? They've been there, done that. This time, it's all about them.
1. It's Their Show, Not Mum and Dad's
Often the first wedding was partly the parents' dream too. But the second time around, it's all about you, your partner and the families surrounding them. No more dancing to someone else's tune—it's your song now.
2. A Love Story Worth Celebrating
Second-time love often comes with a history. These couples have seen life's ups and downs, and they want to celebrate their unique journey. It's a love story with extra chapters and characters and they want to make sure it's told right.
3. Doing 'I Do' Their Way
With a celebrant, second-time couples design a ceremony that screams "us." It's a chance to say "I do" in a way that reflects who they are as a couple. Who they are now and what love and marriage means now.
4. Love, Laughter, and Friends Forever
These weddings are all about the L’s: love, laughter, and lasting friendships. Second-time couples know life's too short not to have fun. They want their day to be a blast and to celebrate the friends who've been with them through thick and thin.
5. Making a Statement
Choosing a celebrant is a statement of independence, a declaration of love, and a big thumbs-up to celebrating a love story that has been a long time waiting.
6. Forever Starts Again
They know what love means, they know what marriage means and they know what this love and marriage means this time. Pledging, knowing they mean it to spend the rest of their days together is a very special commitment. Celebrants handle these scenarios beautifully with the exact right sentiment and tone.
7. Rolling with the Punches
Life's taught them that change is a constant. Second-time couples are more adaptable and open to new, unconventional choices. They've got the experience to roll with the punches.
The Celebrant's Role
Wedding celebrants are like the wedding wizards. They work closely with couples to cook up a unique ceremony recipe. Think personalised scripts, inclusivity of blended families and a ceremony that tells their story like no other.
In a Nutshell
When second-time couples choose celebrants, they're shouting from the rooftops, "We've learned a thing or two, and we're celebrating our love in a way that's all us." It's a beautiful testament to the power of love, growth, and the belief that life's best moments are still ahead.
Second time marriages celebrate hope, magic moments, belief, trust and love.
I love the spirit of these weddings and the depth of love from friends and family that have known the couples all their life is palpable and beautiful.
