Civil Unions are new and so provide opportunity for a unique expression of who you are in a service. As a couple you have your own story of how you have come to the place of commitment in Civil Union. So your service needs to be a reflection of you, your values, your beliefs, your hopes, your dreams, as well as your heritage. As your celebrant I will work with you to create a one off service that is uniquely yours.
