Please write something personal about yourselves to assist me in performing a ceremony that has a “personal” touch, e.g. how and where you met.

Note: The marriage certificate the celebrant provides on the day is a commemorative certificate. Birth, Deaths and Marriages do not send the legal certificate when a marriage is registered, you will need to buy one. You can get a Queensland marriage certificate if you or the person you are applying for was married and registered here—use the marriage certificate application form for your first marriage certificate.
