The Curious History of the Crossword by Ben Tausig

The demand for modern ceremonies of all kinds has never been higher. More young couples every year are choosing to make their wedding day a completely personal one. Family and friends are choosing to remember the departed based on their story, their life, and their achievements. New parents are choosing to welcome a life into the community of humanity without the need to follow traditions that have far less meaning in the twenty first century. There is an ever growing need for a new type of Celebrant to meet these demands. This volume can show you how to be a part of this new wave. We will take you from first principles all the way through to establishing your business in your own community and beyond. Whether you only intend to perform a few local ceremonies or whether you are looking to start on the road to a new profession, this book will give you all the knowledge and advice you need to get started. For experienced Celebrants, this book will be a source of new ideas, and an invaluable reference to the current trends and rules you have to know as you continue to accept more and more bookings.
