So I have recently received a response for further information to the Gillard Governments announcement of an Australian Marriage Tax (aka Professional Celebrants Fee).

It is rather disspointing. There really is no information.
Further reference to the "extensive and close" consultation, adequate resourcing and enforcement were all used as justification for the introduction of the fee.

The AG Department as still no indicating any direction or clear policy on what direction they expect to go with this new fee. This Marriage Tax.

So recently my youngest child went through a lengthy period of bullying - without us knowing. It esculated to a point that involved weapons and he is only 9.

We immediately notified the school and district office.

Just tell them Matt and Katy sent you for some great deals.

I am a marriage celebrant. I don't make a huge deal of it, I am passionate about it but certainly do not do it for the money and fame like some celebrants I know.

Anyway this week the Gillard Government delivered their first Federal Budget. And hidden in the papers was a little tid bit of information to be announced the next day in the form of an email to all Authorised Marriage Celebrants.

The Marriage Celebrants Section of the Attorney Generals Department has notified all Celebrants of the introduction of a "Professional Celebrant Fee" And I intend to fight it.
THE FACTS:-

So just over a month ago Katy and I got back from 6 weeks in enigmatic Bali. It is such a beautiful place. Stunning weather, amasing and friendly people. Every time we have to come home it gets harder and harder.

We were there for our 6 Weeks to celebrate our 10year anniversary. What a rush that was. We had afull traditional balinese wedding. One of the families we know offered us their family temple and we had members of the family from all over the island come and help with the ceremony. It truely was an amasing experience and something I will never forget.

To all those who have signed up already and are considering registering here at theconstancefamily.com please be assured I am working on it......it has not been forgotten, but unfortunately it has not been the highest priority nor will it be for a little while.

Goals for the site include

1) Including a geneology section
2) Investigating a photo gallery section
3) Better blogging
4) Tutorials
5) Forums
6) Improved layout

It WILL take time but it will get there.....one day ;)

Hello and Welcome.

The is the online home to the Constance family.

Created by Matt, Son of Alison and Clive, brother to Heather, Husband to Catherine(Katy) and father to Tiana and Tyler.

Over the coming weeks I will be working on integrating further geneology functions with the site so that all members of the Constance family from all over the world can jump on board and trace the family tree.

I hope you enjoy this site and find it useful.

This is the opening blog entry for Tiana on theconstancefamily.com
