"Someone wore a white dress to my wedding - and got up during the first dance..!"

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 19:00:00 +0000

This week we chat with Leanne, who has some fascinating stories to share! She explains why what happened at her own wedding, when a guest wore a white dress and actually got up and danced during the FIRST DANCE.

Leanne then became a Celebrant herself; she has worked in the local courthouse certifying marriages, regularly acts as a Funeral Celebrant as well as at Weddings, and incredibly we find out she holds the record as the first person to marry under newly changed laws that permitted her to do it at 17 years old!

This conversation has some real twists and turns - we hope you enjoy!
