Just brought the finishing touches for my outfit on Saturday, and my sister’s wedding popped up on my personal feed. So I thought I’d share it with you.

I Care To Listen
I Care To Act On Your Behalf
I Care To Advice
I Care Enough To Check In With You

A good ceremonist start with being a good person, and good with people. So how can we define ‘good’? People growing more impatient with the help of the instatant results one gets from Ai, expressing care is the action of listening with takes time. It’s human nature to want to feel heard, seen, understood, and have space to ‘Be’ you.

Just as a smile travels from the lips to the eyes, so does empathy, go from the heart to the eyes.

Working with a celebrant who constantly works on his or herself is a wonderful way to ensure they have the patience to be your celebrant, clarity to define what they’ll do for you.

If you want see such beings in a world that's neglecting such values then you can support the cause right here;

This is why reliable transportation is important for a celebrant. Can you imagine how much more important it is for a celebrant with a disability.

Help Dionne Keep Her Home, Her Ability To Work, & Her Independence

One of the things I love most about being a celebrant is looking beyond the mask people first present.

When couples first meet me, they often tell me the facts.

How they met.
How long they’ve been together.
Who proposed.
Where they’re getting married.

But those aren’t the story.

The story lives underneath.

It’s in the quiet ways they care for one another when life has been difficult.

It’s in the sacrifices no one else noticed.

It’s in the laughter that carried them through hard seasons.

It’s in the moments they chose each other again and again.

My role isn’t simply to write a ceremony. It’s to gently peel back the layers, creating a space where people feel safe enough to show me the parts that truly matter.

That’s where the hidden beauty lives.

That’s where a ceremony stops being words on a page and becomes a reflection of a love that only these two people could ever share.

I don’t just tell a love story.

I help reveal it. 🤍

I’m just starting out, and here’s how you can help me,

Thank You... We're Nearly Halfway There

When I launched this campaign, I honestly didn't know what to expect.

Today, thanks to your kindness, generosity, encouragement, prayers, dedications, and shares, we've raised £1,800 — 47% of the way towards the target.

I'm deeply grateful to every single person who has donated, shared the campaign, made a dedication, or simply taken the time to send words of encouragement. Every act of support has reminded me that this work matters, and that I'm not walking this path alone.

Reaching almost half of the target feels like a real milestone. It means that becoming fully mobile as a disabled, black, bisexual female Buddhist civil celebrant is no longer just a hope—it's becoming a genuine possibility.

We're now over halfway through the campaign, so this is the moment when sharing becomes especially powerful. If you've already donated, one of the greatest ways you can continue to help is by sharing the campaign with your friends, family, colleagues, or community. You never know who might read my story and feel moved to support.

This campaign has never really been about buying a car. It's about removing one practical barrier so I can continue serving families through weddings, funerals, naming ceremonies, and life's many transitions with dignity, compassion, and presence. It's about making it possible for me to build a sustainable livelihood, without jeopardising my health as I continue my Buddhist practice and serve others.

Thank you for believing in me, in this work, and in the difference it can make.

With love, gratitude and hope,

Dionne

Fancy A Cuppa - On The Road To A Car

I’m is raising funds to buy an accessible car (automatic to be precise because of all my health conditions). I’m unable to work without a car because ceremonies are held in multiple locations throughout a day and is held on a tight schedule.

I’m asking for the price of a coffee, which doesn’t feel like much on its own. But across a community, it can be the thing that changes everything, and helps me keep doing work that matters to so many people.
