Konnubials by Kiki

"Becoming a wedding celebrant was the best decision I made in my colourful career! I realised over time that I need two things to make my world go round - love and connection. I get access to both of those things during the "meeting and marrying" part of my job. Lucky gal! I am an extrovert for the most part, so connecting with people charges my batteries - it literally gives me life! I am also a sucker for a romance of any kind, and love a good storytelling session!

Here's to all of those stories left to be told - I can't wait to hear them, I can't wait to tell them and I can't wait to meet you!"
