Jolan and Dougie’s Humanist Wedding at Glencorse Golf Club
Writing your own wedding ceremony isn’t for everyone. And even when you know that it’s exactly what you want to do, it can still be a challenge. It certainly was for Jolan and Dougie. We first met back in June, but two months later, Jolan got in touch to say that they were … Continue Reading
Chelle and Tim’s Humanist Wedding at The Point
“Thank you so much for your time, thoughts and encouragement, both in our wedding preparation and on the day! You allowed us to be us, and to celebrate as suited us best. We are now, and always will be so grateful for this, and the reaction of so many friends and family pay testament to how people loved both your ceremony and the humanist approach”.
Bita and Bryan’s Humanist Wedding at Solsgirth House
Who remembers foam parties? Everyone should. My sources tell me that the first one was in 1932, and featured Louis Armstrong dancing, singing, and of course playing his trumpet in the short film, “A Rhapsody In Black and Blue”. Fast forward 80 years to Bryan and Bita’s meet-cute at the legendary Revolution Nightclub where Brian … Continue Reading
Carol and George’s Humanist Wedding in The John Muir Grove at The Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh
I love what I do, and never more than when I get emails like this one from the lovely Carol and George… I don’t think we can put into words how thankful we are that a) we decided on a Humanist wedding and b) chose you as our celebrant. From the first … Continue Reading
Alex and Sandra’s Humanist Wedding at The Royal Botanical Gardens, Edinburgh
I don’t know why the gorgeous Sandra apologised for the delay in sending me these photos from her wedding – it was less than a fortnight ago, and we were very lucky because the John Muir Grove at the Botanics was bathed in that amazing golden light that you only get on an autumn afternoon. … Continue Reading
Joanne and Mido’s engagement in Princes Street Gardens
Lots of couples ‘reverse into’ marriage these days. They live together, have kids and then five or ten years later decide to make it legal: it’s almost the new normal, and it made me wonder how many reverse into their engagements too? I’m looking forward to conducting the wedding of Joanne and Mido … Continue Reading
Donna and Graham’s Humanist wedding at Marlyn’s Wynd
There’s usually a good four month gap between the wedding and me blogging about it, but this has to be a record. I married Graham and Donna four YEARS ago! It was meeting them at Kevin and Lindsay’s wedding at the Hub last Christmas that brought them right back to mind. Marlyn’s Wynd is one … Continue Reading
Things to think about if you don’t want a rehearsal
As I’ve said elsewhere on this blog, rehearsals aren’t mandatory, but they’re a good chance to work out what happens when and who does what. I first met Julie and Dougie at a wedding fair at The Corn Exchange last November, and I remember we got on like a house on fire. They’re getting married … Continue Reading
Chris and Gill’s Humanist Wedding at Portobello Town Hall
“Thanks so much for an amazing ceremony. It was everything we hoped for and more and you delivered it perfectly.”
