Guided marriage preparation, grounded in faith.
"I have found the one whom my soul loves." — Song of Solomon 3:4
View Packages EnquireBefore Forever exists for couples who want to enter marriage with intention, depth, and a solid foundation — not only a beautiful day. Marriage is formed, not assumed. This practice walks with you through that formation.
The ceremony flows from the preparation — not the other way around. Your wedding day reflects the journey you've walked together.
All preparation and ceremony is grounded in Christian faith — honouring marriage as a sacred covenant before God, not simply a legal act.
With formal training in Theology and Christian Counselling, and over seven years of pastoral marriage work — this is not just officiation. It is genuine preparation.
Couples are met with compassion and respect — especially where there is history, complexity, or injury. You will not be rushed or judged.

Every couple who walks through the Marriage Journey or Legacy Experience receives the With This Vow Memoire Box. A handmade artisan box, customised to your wedding colours and monogram, to keep your personal keepsakes in, filled with your Couple toolkit. It is not a memento. It is a marriage toolkit built entirely around your story, your personalities, and your covenant, created to reflect the uniquely curated day we crafted together throughout this Journey.

Intentional
You take marriage seriously. You want to prepare well, understand each other deeply, and begin on solid ground — not rush through a formality.
Faith-Adjacent
You believe in God but aren't affiliated with a church. You want a Christian ceremony that carries real meaning — without judgment or pressure.
Burned but not gone
Your relationship with the church is complicated. Your faith in God is not. This is a safe, pastoral space that holds that tension with care.
"What God has joined together, let no one separate."Mark 10:9

"My approach is gentle and safe. I will not rush you, judge you, or perform for you. I will sit with you, ask the real questions, and walk with you toward something that lasts."Robynne Todd · Before Forever
The goal is not only a perfect wedding. It is a steadfast marriage — built on honesty, faith, and a foundation that can hold real life.
Tell us a little about yourselves. There's no obligation — just a conversation to see if this is the right fit for your journey.
