Celebrancy … a weird word that even the spell check on my Mac displays a dotted line underneath it like there is something wrong with it! Weird is perfect for Sue’s new career choice.

A celebrant is like a conductor for an orchestra, they may not be the greatest person there, nor the most prominent, or the most talented, yet they will hold everything together. They decide when to start and when to finish. When the ceremony will be upbeat or down, how loud it is, or how quiet. They decide the tempo, the beat and the melody.

The OWLS talk about Sue’s journey to become a celebrant. The study, the laws and they pitfalls associated with what to wear when adjudicating the ceremony and as usual Lisa and Sue provide their humorous spin on the topics.

Would you book Sue for your wedding or perhaps a loved one’s funeral? I would!
