As your dedicated marriage celebrant, I consent to be present as the authorised marriage celebrant, taking a public role in the wedding ceremony.
I will identify introduce myself to the assembled parties, witnesses and guests as the marriage celebrant authorised to solemnise marriage.
I will take responsibility to ensure the validity of the marriage according to law and say the words required by section 46 in the presence of the parties, the formal witnesses and the guests before the marriage is solemnised.
I will be in close proximity (i.e. nearby) when the vows required by section 45(2) are exchanged because it is the exchange of vows that constitute the marriage and the authorised celebrant should ensure that they see and hear the vows exchanged.
Being part of the ceremonial group or being nearby to it I will then sign the papers required by the Act.
