I can’t think of a better and more enduring testament to love: love of one another, and love of the fragile planet on which we live.

The story of Ruth and Paul from Swipe Right to I Do!
My humanist 2019
2019 was quite a year… I conducted weddings on mountains in clouds, snow and rain, and back gardens in the sun; weddings for couples who’d met online, and couples who’d been together for 40 years, weddings with children and animals, weddings with handfastings and quaichs, huge weddings for crowds and intimate elopements for two.

They relished the prospect of creating their ceremony in […]
Sarah and Richard’s Humanist Wedding in their Garden

I first met Sarah and Richard in June and they told me that they wanted their ceremony to be the surprise element of their housewarming party, so it was crucial that word didn’t get out. My lips were sealed… The new home came with Richard’s new job: they were […]
