Yesterday marked the beginning of a new chapter for marriage equality.  The right to marry in Australia is no longer determined by sex or gender.  Today was the first time I had the honour of saying that “marriage, according to law in Australia, is the union of two people to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life.”

 

The amendment to the Marriage Act now includes several key differences compared with marriages prior to the 9 December 2017.  Couples can now make a personal choice about the terms used in their marriage vows that best reflect their relationship.  The term ‘spouse’ can now be used to refer to a male, female, intersex, non-binary gender or transgender person.

 

So how does the amendment to the Marriage Act change me?  Quite simply, it doesn’t – other than my diary booking up fast!  I am so proud to now be playing my part in history by proving all couples a marriage ceremony like no other.
