			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know what a fabulous  job you did with presenting Emma&#8217;s ceremony last Sunday. I would highly  recommend you to anyone who was after a Celebrant for their special  occasion.</p>
<p>You should feel really proud of yourself, it is a big thing to stand  in front of people and compose yourself so well and deliver a beautiful  and emotional ceremony. Yours was impeccable. And when you read your  beautiful poem to Emma, she was really soothed by you rubbing her little  arm.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, we had a few wayward children and a couple of people speaking throughout, but you continued beautifully.</p>
<p>Take care and thanks again,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to thank you very much for officiating at the marriage of my son Brian and his wife, Fiona.</p>
<p>We were very impressed with the ceremony you performed and the very  special “Sand Ceremony” performed to show the blending of the 2  families. It was very touching.</p>
<p>In particular I would like to thank you for your thoughtfulness,  understanding and patience that you showed to Brian, Fiona and their  daughters, not only on the day but also during the planning of the  ceremony.</p>
<p>We cannot recommend highly enough, Rebecca and Bella Celebrations!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Shane and I decided to arrange to get married there was only one  person we would consider choosing as our Celebrant, Rebecca  Phillips-Vasilescu. We had both attended weddings and witnessed other  Celebrants and Rebecca shone out above everyone else. Rebecca conducts  herself with the utmost professionalism and her kind and loving nature  shines through her presence.</p>
<p>We called Rebecca and were delighted that she was available to  perform our ceremony. Rebecca guided us through the process and took  care of all the legal documentation, as required. She helped us choose a  suitable ceremony, which included our children and structured the  ceremony in a very personal way. On the day of the wedding she visited  me before the ceremony and then visited Shane. It was a very special day  for us and our family and a very emotional ceremony. All our guests  said that it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies they had attended,  and were very impressed with the ceremony that Rebecca had performed.</p>
<p>We would not hesitate to recommend Rebecca to anyone wanting to use  any of the services she provides. Rebecca is a very special lady and one  of the most professional people we have had the pleasure of having in  our life. Her husband Michael helped with the preparation on the day and  as a couple it was their kindness and professionalism that made our  wedding day a day our guests will never forget!</p>

<p>Your ceremony is all about your love story to date, and your promises to each for the future. You may have poetry written to each other, favourite flowers and songs or music, or special rituals to each other, your families or your children, you wish to include.</p>
<p>A civil marriage ceremony allows you to freedom to hold your wedding in the location of your choose. This could be at your home,  your  favourite park or beach,  on a headland looking out to sea or even on a boat. You choose the place, the time and of course the theme.  Shipboard weddings can also be performed, and afterward you and your guests can sail away to celebrate.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></strong></p>
<p>These special dates for wedding ceremonies are often the first to be booked&#8230;..Christmas holidays, New Year, Valentine’s Day, Easter and special Dates on the calendar,  i.e. 11/11/11.<a href="http://jmichaelflynn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/DSCF2449.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-87" style="margin: 5px; border: 2px solid black;" title="Weddings" src="http://jmichaelflynn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/DSCF2449-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>I also offer a payment plan, to allow couples to pay a regular amount each month, leading up to the wedding to assist with budget planning.</p>

<p>Many modern parents choose the option of a Naming ceremony over a traditional religious Baptism or Christening.  With a non-denominational naming ceremony, Parents, Grand-parents  and Guardians or God-parents are all encouraged to be included, as they all play a very important part in the future emotional and spiritual support of the child.</p>
<p>A naming ceremony may also be chosen to celebrate the adoption of a child, to welcome a step-child into the family or to mark a legal change of name for an adult.</p>
<p>A naming ceremony may also be performed as part of a marriage ceremony, as marriage joins many lives, especially so when the Bride and/or Groom have children.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://jmichaelflynn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/DSCF1557-1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-85" style="margin: 5px; border: 2px solid black;" title="Renewals" src="http://jmichaelflynn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/DSCF1557-1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Commitment ceremonies are available for couples who wish to publicly declare their love for each other without any legal recognition. Couples who legally wed celebrate their love and commitment to each other in the presence of their families and friends. However, many people, such as same sex couples are unable to legally wed in Australia. Also, heterosexual couples who do not wish to legally marry, or who may have some impediment to a legal ceremony, choose a commitment ceremony.</p>
<p>Often the content of a commitment ceremony is very similar to a wedding ceremony, however there is no legal significance.</p>
<p>Renewal of vows or re-affirmation ceremonies are popular with couples who have been married for some years and wish to celebrate a special anniversary.  The original wedding ceremony can be re-created or I can create a whole new ceremony, reflecting the successes of the marriage  to celebrate the family created.</p>
<p>The content and style of each ceremony will vary, depending on the needs of each couple.</p>
