Rob John

About

My name is Robert John on my Birth Certificate. Nothing else. I have no middle names. And though most people abbreviate the Robert to Rob, the names on the certificate all-important, as all given names must be used in full on your marriage documents. In my case, Rob would not do. Neither would a nick-name.

My background has been in marketing and advertising as well as real estate sales and auctioneering, performing charity auctions and public speaking. My experience is there for your benefit.

You can have confidence that I have the physical presence and ability to keep your guests informed on the day about the events before the ceremony commences. If yours is an outside wedding, just what will happen if there is some rain? If the bridal party is running late, exactly what is happening, all with friendly authority?

We will learn as much as we can about each other and should our personalities click we can get down to tin tacks then and there, or you can think things over in your own time.

We will no doubt discuss whether you have set a date for your big day yet, and if so where and when. I will need to sight your original birth certificates and some photographic identification before any paperwork can be commenced and if you don�t have them I will guide you as to how to get them in time for our second meeting. You may not have been born in South Australia, or even Australia for that matter and you will need to know how to go about obtaining them.

You have anywhere from 18 months to just over a month before your wedding day, to put all the necessary paperwork in place that the government of the day requires under the Marriage Act 1961. I am registered as a Civil Marriage Celebrant by the Attorney-General�s Department of the Australian Government to do just that.

And also of course to pronounce you married to each other on the day.

I really think the best reference you can have is when we meet, talk and see each other face to face. Personal chemistry is so important and if it�s not present we can all move on.

Being my one wedding on the day, you are not sharing me with anyone else. That is extremely important for you to remember.

Exactly what you expect of me during our time together will determine what budget you will require and that will be put in writing for you.
