One in a Million Phone Call

Last year I received a phone call – the caller introduced herself as Cindy saying “this is a one in a million chance but three years ago I was travelling on a plane from Melbourne to Brisbane and I was sitting next to a celebrant and wondered if it was you?” Sure enough it was! At the time I had just conducted a wedding for a couple at the Botanic Gardens in Melbourne and was returning to Brisbane. Cindy happened to be returning to Brisbane after visiting her boyfriend Brian in Melbourne. Once it was established I was the person in question she exclaimed that she was now engaged and wanted me to be the celebrant at their wedding. She never knew my name but somehow found me online  and thought I looked familiar in my website photo. How special is that!

Cindy and Brian now live happily together in Brisbane and were to be getting married on the 10^th of the 10^th this year in the Glass House Mountains but the wedding will now be in Melbourne (on the same date) and they are still wanting me to attend and be their celebrant! Cindy kindly said that I was part of their story. It is indeed ironic that their wedding will be in Melbourne; I’m very much looking forward to it – I’m sure it will be a one in a million wedding as Cindy and Brian are both such engaging, warm, down to earth and fun loving people. Their story is a great one and I look forward to posting a photo of their wedding on my blog site later in the year. They have also invited Trish to attend but I guess on the flight back this time I won’t be sitting next to a prospective bride – I’ll have my very own as company!
