Are you looking for that incredible you for your special day? Want to tone up without the stress or fads? Then chat to Heather and the team at Hypoxi Countouring in Sunbury – where the plans can help you be the best you on your wedding day – or any time of year for that matter. HYPOXI EXPLAINED Hands up those who suffer from stubborn fat deposits or cellulite? Don’t feel alone! Australian studies suggest that up to 80% of women and 45% of men are dissatisfied with their body. In many instances, this frustration stems from an inability to lose weight from those stubborn areas despite a healthy lifestyle. Short of going under the knife, exercise is critical for sustainable weight loss. But many of us don’t like the idea of going to the gym or having a personal trainer. And when we do try to exercise, we don’t see results in the areas that bother us the most. This is where Hypoxi can help – it couples gentle exercise with advanced vacuum technology to supercharge your workout so you can see noticeable results in as little as 4 weeks! SO WHY DOES HYPOXI WORK? Hypoxi is the brainchild […]

Inspired by the fashion-forward debonair, Fleur’d is ‘A Gentleman’s Accessory.’ Founded in 2014 by fashion, celebrity and product photographer Andrew Werner, Fleur’d is that something extra. Born and raised on Long Island, USA, Werner has constantly found inspiration in the not so distant lights of Manhattan. As a notable photographer, Werner sought to remedy the age-old conundrum of how can men stand out in a sea of tuxedos. ‘I would photograph red carpets and black tie galas,’ he recalls, ‘and every men’s outfit was always the same – some variation of: black tuxedo, white shirt, black bowtie. Where was that something extra to showcase individuality?’ Attention to each detail, as evident in all of his work, he began by handcrafting the iconic Fleurs he’d wear for his own pleasure. Many industry tastemakers quickly took note and soon began to commission Werner for their own Fleurs. Without realizing it his small passion project was slowly becoming a reality. Fleur’d is ready to bloom and help gentlemen everywhere showcase their originality to stand out from the crowd. Our Fleurs not only are the best boutonnières, but the perfect groomsmen gift as well. Fluer’d has been seen across wedding celebrations and red carpets […]

One of my best friends got engaged a few years back and her fiancé insisted on a “family only” wedding. This, unfortunately, meant that I wasn’t on the guest list. And since I hate missing out on a good time, I offered to become a civil celebrant in order to attend and officiate the ceremony and save them some cash in the process. While I was completing my celebrant studies, a few more couples asked me to do their weddings to the point where it’s now become a big part of my professional life and one that draws on my own love of romance and men in suits. I’ve been a producer and writer for TV, print and radio for the last 13 years, so my career has been all about communicating stories, giving Australians a voice and making dreams come true. With my friends who have already been married, I’ve caught bouquets, cried in jewellery stores and said yes to the dress. These are some of my favourite memories, so it’s an honour now to create ceremonies with couples for their biggest of big days. And I’m aware of both the privilege to be involved, and the pressure to get it right. A few people have said good things about me on the review page, but you’ll only know […]

Equal Love Canberra is just one part of the broader movement for marriage equality in Australia. We aim to overturn the amendments of 13 August 2004 which entrenched a discriminatory definition of marriage in federal law.  

Equal Love WA is the Perth branch of the activist campaign for Marriage Equality and LGBTI rights in Australia.

Equal Love is part of the nationwide campaign to achieve marriage equality in Australia. Our aim is to put pressure on the government, through protest and other actions, to end discrimination against LGBTI people in relation to marriage. Equal Love was formed in 2004 following the Howard governments amendment of the Marriage Act which restricted marriage to between a man and a woman. It has been over a decade since then – that’s over a decade of state-sanctioned discrimination! If you are a supporter of marriage equality we encourage you to be a part of the many actions and demonstrations organised by Equal Love. We believe these actions are crucial to putting politicians under pressure to change the law, keep the issue of equality in the public spotlight and to winning more support amongst the broader community for the campaign. At our demonstrations we often have local celebrities, entertainers and community groups both speaking and leading the marches, and Equal Love is famous for organising the annual mid-winter vows – effectively a mass illegal wedding – every August on the anniversary of the Marriage Act amendment. We also encourage people to invite contingents of supporting friends, family & workmates to […]

Fairness and equality are at the heart of Australian society. Here are some things you can do if you believe our laws should reflect these values of which we are most proud.   Why is marriage important? Marriage matters to Australian society. It is the secure foundation for loving, committed couples. Everyone in our families, communities and country should be free to marry on those terms. Currently, lesbian and gay couples are excluded from marriage — which means their loving, committed relationships are not treated the same as others, and do not have the equal status under the law. Put simply, marriage is important in Australian society and important to LGBTI couples. Furthermore, winning the freedom to marry will enrich the lives not just of gay people, but of the wider community: Family members, friends, coworkers and fellow citizens. It’s about the father who will be able to walk his lesbian daughter down the aisle. The grandmother who will be able to dance with her gay grandson at his wedding. Australians will be able to celebrate all of their friends’ love and commitment equally.  Businesses and community members will benefit when all families are strengthened, affirmed and included. Each new generation of […]

WHO WE ARE Australian Marriage Equality is a national organisation working for equal marriage for all consenting adults, as we a believe person’s gender or sexuality should not affect their legal rights and responsibilities under Australian marriage law. The organisation was formed in 2004 to campaign against then proposed amendments to the Marriage Act entrenching marriage as only between a man and a woman. Since starting as a committee of concerned citizens, Australian Marriage Equality has grown into one of Australia’s largest and most successful equal rights organisations. As a non profit organisation, Australian Marriage Equality relies entirely on the generosity of its supporters in the community. WHAT WE DO Australian Marriage Equality’s approach to achieving marriage equality is through lobbying, advocacy and education. We’ve always held that marriage equality will be achieved when supporters work together regardless of faith, party, race or sexuality. We value respect, calm discussion and cooperation. We believe there is no place in the marriage equality debate for prejudice, anger and polarisation. Our achievements include: Gaining support for marriage equality from a wide range of human rights organisations, state parliaments, local councils, unions and businesses. Obtaining recognition of same-sex marriages by government agencies like the Bureau of Statistics. Removing official […]
