Married by Mandi / Take Two - Marriage Celebrant

If you know me, you’ll know this probably comes as no surprise… I’m a passionate Brisbane Lions supporter!

So this year I decided to do something a little different and sponsor one of the players.

After meeting Jarrod Berry last year, I knew exactly who I wanted to support. He’s genuinely one of the nicest, most down-to-earth people you’ll meet. He’s warm, chatty, interested in people and takes the time to connect. Those qualities really stood out to me.

I recently attended the Brisbane Lions sponsors’ function and it was such a fantastic afternoon. Every player was approachable, appreciative of the support they receive and happy to spend time chatting with sponsors and fans.

I also discovered I’m currently Jarrod’s only Queensland-based sponsor, which made me smile! I think there are a few sponsors in Melbourne, but I’m proudly flying the flag for him up here.

Supporting local sport has always been something I believe in. It’s about community, commitment and backing people who represent values you admire.

I’ll always be a Lions fan, but I’ll definitely be continuing to sponsor Bez for as long as he’s wearing the Lions jumper.

He really made my day on Sunday. 🤍

Now… here’s hoping the Lions have another huge season! 🦁

🤍 Some weddings are extra special because of the journey you’ve shared before the wedding day.

I’ve known Brodie for many years and we’ve supported each other through different seasons of life. So when I first met Bel and saw the smile she brought to his face, I remember thinking, she’s absolutely perfect for him.

Being asked to marry them was such an honour.

Their wedding day began with plenty of wind and rain, and we had a decision to make. Do we change the plan or trust that it would all come together? We decided to go with their dream location… and I’m so glad we did.

The skies cleared, the wind disappeared and it turned into the most beautiful ceremony.

Brodie and Bel are such a relaxed, down-to-earth couple, and the love they share was obvious to everyone there. One of my favourite memories was at the end of the ceremony when Brodie gave me the biggest hug and simply said, “Thank you for making it happen.”

Moments like that remind me exactly why I love being a celebrant. It’s never just about officiating a wedding. It’s about helping create memories that last a lifetime.

Here’s what Brodie and Bel had to say afterwards…

“We cannot thank Mandi enough for being our celebrant. She was professional, kind and genuine. She made our day run so smoothly and completely flawlessly. We would highly recommend her services to anyone. Thank you so much, Mandi!”
