Step by Step Guide to a Humanist Wedding no.10 – Rehearsals – Who Needs ‘Em?
Wedding rehearsals can be a scheduling nightmare
Can I Marry You?
This isn’t as dumb a question as it may at first appear. This week, I’ve been tracking the enquiries I’ve had from couples who wanted me to marry them at some point over the next 12 months, and I’ve had to apologise to two thirds because I am already fully committed on the date in … Continue Reading
Fiona & Michiel’s Humanist Wedding at the Merchants’ Hall in Edinburgh
Although it’s almost two months ago, I remember this ceremony as though it were yesterday. Fiona & Michiel both lived in Holland when they met, but moved back to Fiona’s homeland a couple of years ago, so it was a Scots-Dutch crowd that packed into the elegant Merchants’ Hall on Hanover Street. One of the … Continue Reading
Angus & Suzanne’s Humanist Wedding at Balbirnie House
Suzanne and Angus met eleven years ago, when they both had holiday jobs up at the Loch Insh Watersports Centre, near Aviemore, and as Angus said in their ceremony, their lives are still filled with adventure, fun and laughter!

Lindsay & Nigel’s Humanist Wedding at The Atrium, Edinburgh
The Atrium is a stunning venue and photographer Ross Barber must have arrived a lot earlier than I did to catch this great shot. Nigel’s two daughters, Ellie and Robyn were the flower girls, and in a really nice touch, when they came in, he went down the aisle to take them both by the … Continue Reading
