Some of the most touching ceremonies I do are those with only a handful of guests, like this evening wedding at Prestonfield House for Peter and Claire.

We wrote the ceremony together as always, but they both prepared secret readings for one other, which they gave before they exchanged their vows. It takes a lot of courage to speak at your own wedding and they did it beautifully.

Claire wrote, We would also like to take this opportunity of thanking you for conducting such a relaxed and wonderful ceremony. Everybody there commented on how special it felt. We have now come back down to earth and feel like doing it all again it was so good.
