Caroline and David’s Humanist Wedding at Dalmahoy Country Club
I want you to imagine the man on the right, wearing a naval uniform while taking his clothes off for money… Yes, that’s what David was doing when Caroline first saw David. OK it was to raise money for charity, but I have to admit its one of the more unusual stories I’ve heard on … Continue Reading
Camilla and Kevin’s Humanist Wedding at Winton House

Heather and Paul’s Humanist Wedding at Boturich Castle
We’re basking in the most wonderful heatwave right now, and Paul and Heather chose the perfect day to marry high on a hill above Loch Lomond.

Steven & Gillian’s Humanist Wedding at Gean House
Gillian and Steven met when they were in their early twenties, and in her homework Gillian told me how she remembered their first date.

Well looking back over the summer, … Continue Reading

I was pleased that they’d raised the subject, … Continue Reading
Elizabeth & Steven’s Humanist Wedding at Glenbervie House
Sometimes weddings run like clockwork. Sometimes they don’t. But one of the distinguishing features of a wedding is that nobody ever seems to mind, even if someone’s forgotten the wedding rings, or left the paperwork at the hotel, both of which have happened to me in the past. It’s a happy day, and when something … Continue Reading
Sara & Stuart’s Humanist Wedding at Carberry Towers

I was particularly pleased to read what they said about their … Continue Reading
