MARRIAGE is on the mind of glamtastic Melbourne Housewife Gina Liano after being bitten by the love bug.

Liano, the breakout star of Foxtel’s Real Housewives of Melbourne series, is in the process of becoming a marriage celebrant.

The legal eagle turned TV star was motivated to become a licensed marriage celebrant in order to support same-sex couples and to be able to help couples celebrate their love.

“I first looked into it when I was asked to conduct Gamble’s (Breaux, a fellow Housewife) ceremony and found out the course is 12 months, or six months if you fast-track it, and then three months to get it ratified,’’ Liano said.

“At the end of last year I just decided I would do it. It is surprising how much work is in it, really, because it is all law. The other motivation was in anticipation of equal marriage rights coming through.

“If that happens I want to be part of it and support it.’’

Liano is on track to finish her studies in March and hopes to have her licence granted in July.

“I have had a lot of inquiries over the years about going to people’s weddings. I have not actually been asked to conduct, or officiate,’’ she said.

“I feel like I can officiate an important event like that and make it special.’’

The sometime fiery, always fabulous Housewives favourite said: “I love seeing people in love. I love the excitement of people wanting to make that public declaration and to make that commitment.’’
