’Tis the season for celebrant folly
It’s not really Christmas until you’ve sent-off the busy year with some of your best work colleagues. With that in mind, NSW Local Leader Alison Pickel (with some help from party planner extraordinaire Stephen Tasselli – thanks Stephen!) organised her first official Celebrant Society event since taking over the role in October.
With a swipe of lippy to match her red Santa hat, Alison set off on a balmy December evening to rendezvous with some TCS crew at The Winery in Surry Hills.
As we munched on salt-and-pepper squid, gourmet sausage rolls and truffled fries, it was time to vote for ‘best dressed’.
Competition was fierce, with everyone clad in their favourite Christmas kitsch. Eventually, Bev Carstairs emerged victorious in the ‘nicest outfit’ category, shimmering in her angel-inspired sparkly gold ensemble. Meanwhile, Mary Vevers claimed the title of ‘naughtiest outfit’ thanks to a seductive LBD paired with a mischievous Santa hat.
As the drinks flowed and the laughter continued late into the night, promises were made to reconvene for another memorable gathering soon. The camaraderie and joy that filled the air left everyone eagerly anticipating the next meet-up.
Now, the question arises: Where should the next TCS NSW adventure take place? Send your suggestions to alison@thecelebrantsociety.com and let the planning begin for the next unforgettable celebration.
Until then, as the year draws to a close, may this festive season bring you happiness. Here’s to a wonderful and safe holiday season for all! Cheers to the memories made and the ones yet to come.
