5,000 miles: that’s how far away Kelly and Alan were when we first spoke over Skype. It takes courage to organise a wedding at that distance, and confidence to invite your friends to make that journey with you, but that’s the kind of people they are. They relished the prospect of creating their ceremony in […]
One of the advantages of a destination wedding is that your guests are with you for several days, so there’s a lot less pressure and everyone is really relaxed. Another is that you may have the time to do what Greg and Kirsten did, which was to shoot a lot of photos for your album before […]
I first met Neil and Nele not long after my book was published. They were among the very first people to read it, so I was very touched to see this sign when I arrived to conduct their fun-filled, imaginative and very emotional ceremony at Carlowrie Castle. Most Scottish castles are rattling with antiques of […]
I absolutely LOVE mountain weddings, but they’re not for the fainthearted. Even in good weather, getting up to the summit requires a lot of planning and preparation, but when it’s absolutely tipping down as it was last Sunday, well, that’s when you find out what people are made of. Andy and Jo are climbers: ‘craggers’ […]
Who gets married on Valentine’s Day? Incurable romantics like Martin and Shannon, that’s who! Imagine the scene. Martin’s sitting on his Silver Sony Via, dreaming about going to Uni in Edinburgh, and he sees this blue-eyed blonde on Facebook who lives just 2.5 miles away, so he has a wee creep at her photos and […]
I don’t like to use the ‘B’ word but despite all the uncertainty around Brexit, more and more couples are choosing to speak their vows in Scotland. It was last November that Leon and Chris brought their family and friends over from the Netherlands, and they’re still talking about their amazing ceremony now. They made […]
Despite all the uncertainty over the UK’s future, more and more couples are choosing Scotland as the place they want to tie the knot. Just two days ago, I conducted the wedding of Julie and Nicolas, a French couple who brought their families over to see them getting married on the shores of Loch Fyne, […]
Do you know the song, ‘The Book of Love’? Peter Gabriel’s version is here* and the lyrics were an important inspiration to Michael and Barbara when they created their ceremony in far-off Chicago. The book of love is long and boring And written very long ago It’s full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes And things we’re all […]
Every guest commented on how our ceremony was the greatest ceremony they’ve ever witnessed.
Legalities apart, this was always going to be a fun day. Meredith is a lady who knows her own mind, and when she finally gave in to the persistent nagging from her friends Dan and Jess and created a profile online, she had no truck with the usual nonsense. When Joel messaged her, she bluntly […]
