On the day of the wedding:

We will fill in the No legal Impediment to the marriage, prior to the wedding and finalise all paperwork

​

I will legally ask your conscent, you have to be separate from one another for me to do this

​

We have verbal legalities to say in the ceremony, this will be outlined to you in a draft that I send you.

​

I also have to ask if you are consenting to the marriage. 

​

Consent:
As of June 12, 2024, all authorised marriage celebrants are mandated by law under the Marriage Act 1961 (the Act) to meet with each party to the marriage separately and in person before the marriage ceremony. This requirement ensures that the marriage is being entered into voluntarily by both parties.
This procedure applies to all legal marriages and includes all authorised celebrants, such as Commonwealth-registered Marriage Celebrants, Ministers of Religion from recognised denominations, and State and Territory officials authorised to solemnise marriages.
To fulfil this responsibility please answer the following questions. 
Note: These answers are confidential and will not be shared with the other party to the marriage. 

1    Are you entering into this marriage of your own free will, without any form of coercion or pressure from others?    □Yes □No
2    Do you feel fully informed about the nature and consequences of this marriage and its legal implications?    □Yes □No
3    Are you aware of your right to withdraw from this marriage or to postpone the ceremony anytime if you feel unsure or pressured?    □Yes □No
4    Have you been given adequate time and opportunity to consider this decision independently and without interference?    □Yes □No
5    Do you believe that both you and your partner have freely and voluntarily decided to proceed with this marriage, and that both parties are consenting to this union of their own accord?    □Yes □No
6    Do you feel that you would benefit from any additional support or counselling before proceeding with this marriage, and do you need assistance in accessing such resources if needed?    □Yes □No
□Yes □No

​

Finally the marriage can be solemnised.
