Just added five more esoteric songs to the Ultimate Wedding Song Playlist on my website at marriedbyjosh.com/wedding-songs/ Would desperately love it if you added yours to the list to help other people trying to think of what songs to walk down the aisle to, or to dance to.

Hayley and Lui's first dance at Melbourne wedding venue, Potters Receptions. I was their wedding MC, my name is Josh Withers Melbourne Wedding Celebrant.

Just popping into your computer to let you know I made photos that I think are cool and beautiful and have added more of them to my personal little online photo thing at joshwithers.photos which is the kind of website you'd click onto if you just wanted to look at cool photos of cool things.

Imagine if all the ABC AM/FM broadcast towers were on foreign land. Or all the 7/9/10 TV transmitters were in international waters broadcasting into Australia. @camwilson.bsky.social says it perfectly “You shouldn’t build your emergency broadcast systems in other people’s kingdoms.”

Ever wonder why some couples seem to float through wedding planning while others get bogged down in drama and stress? The difference often comes down to one simple tool - what I call the "Wedding Razor." marriedbyjosh.com/get-a-wedding-raz…

I need to find my chicken people. We have six new pullets and every night two of them haven't gone into the coop yet, the other four are blocking the door. Why you don't you just go home, chickens? That 's your home! Are you too good for your home?

Got any chicken name ideas? ChatGPT gave me Eggsley Judd, Cluck Norris, Chickira, Henelope Cruz, Eggabeth Olsen, BeyHenCe. Clause offered up Chickira as well then Amelia Egghart, Henny Penny Lane, Mother Clucker Theresa, Yolko Ono, and Attila the Hen.
