Even if Germany is your cultural home and you have decided to get married in Australia, there is no need to abandon the fun wedding traditions. You get to enjoy many cultural traditions as a marriage celebrant but German wedding customs are really quite unique and enjoyable for everyone!
A Bilingual Wedding Ceremony is not as unusual as you might think. And if you are wondering what the guests might be thinking while listening to the language they don’t speak, well it’s only positive! As a marriage celebrant your main concern is that everyone enjoys the ceremony so it’s important that a Bilingual Wedding Ceremony (see this video) is delivered in a way that all the guests can enjoy. There are never long deliveries of any one language so guests actually feel they understand what is being said in the other language. No one feels left-out. SBS Australia recently produced a podcast on Germans marrying in Australia. It is always such a lovely feeling to receive feedback from the beautiful couples whose bilingual wedding ceremonies I have had the privilege to perform.
