Sally and Ali’s Humanist Wedding at Mansfield Traquair
One of the joys of my job is that I bump into people I’ve married in the most unlikely places. With Ali and Sally, it was in the supermarket, a good eight months after the event. What made it even stranger was that I’d shared a lift in the very same supermarket the previous evening … Continue Reading
Ending The Year On A High
It’s been another wonderful, love-filled, life-affirming year, and it couldn’t have ended more appropriately than with a snowy wedding atop Ben Vorlich with Louise and Stuart, their witnesses, Ross and Davie and four bemused but delighted fellow hill-walkers who just happened to arrive at the summit at the same time. More on this in the … Continue Reading

As so many of us share the intimate details of our lives online, there are bound to be times that somebody oversteps the line. More and more often recently, I’ve … Continue Reading
Once Upon a Time They Lived Happily Ever After – Telling Your Story
The story of your relationship, from first encounter to the moment you both say ‘I do’ is an important part of your ceremony, and there are lots of different ways of telling it. Earlier this year, at Sophie and Neal’s wedding in the Royal Botanic Garden one of their friends, Jamie Hall, came up with a really … Continue Reading
Kirsty and Euan’s Humanist Wedding at Mansfield Traquair
Thank you for helping to make our day such a success.
Can you read what it says on this card?
