Hi I’m Alison Ainsworth and I’m your Family, Wedding and Funeral Celebrant in Worcestershire. I am mid thirties (does a woman ever tell her age). Where do I begin in starting to tell you about me?
I'd easily be described as a hopeless romantic. I married my childhood sweetheart of almost twenty years two years ago after waiting a very long time for a proposal, and yes before you think it, the day was worth the wait. Then last year we welcomed our first child, our daughter and we are now embracing the magical but also exhausting rollercoaster ride that is parenting.
Family is extremely important to me, biological and those I have chosen myself along the years through friendship also. I value people, I enjoy human connection and believe that those happy and not so happy occasions need celebration, personality and should be memorable for the right reasons.
Many people have asked why I became a celebrant, it is not a typical career path to take in earlier life and that I appreciate. The answer is very simple for me, my life experiences have led me here.
I have personal experience, like many with grief and by being the family of someone who has passed away I have been given the ability to relate to those I support. I understand how it feels to make those final decisions about someones last day in their physical form.
This experience motivates me and gives me a different sense of pride in my work I believe. My focus is to ensure that the day is special and memorable for those it is dedicated to and for those loved ones who are a part of it.
