Cheryl and Andy’s Humanist Wedding at Broxmouth Park
Almost all my recent weddings at Broxmouth Park have taken place outside, under the huge cedar of Lebanon that was planted by Queen Victoria when she popped in on a Scottish trip in 1878, and it all looked very promising when I was down there for Andy and Cheryl’s rehearsal the day before their wedding: it really was absolutely … Continue Reading
Ailsa and Sam’s Humanist Wedding at Broxmouth Park
Isn’t this just a stunning image from Marc Millar? It absolutely captures the dream-like quality of Sam and Ailsa’s wedding, as they look back on their big day at Broxmouth Park. “It is mad looking back and realising how quickly it has gone. We’ve settled back into normality again, but we have really … Continue Reading
Suzanne and Craig’s Humanist Wedding at The Macdonald Marine Hotel
The weather has been gorgeous recently, but these blue skies date from way back in April, when Craig and Suzanne tied the knot in North Berwick, famously one of the sunniest places in the whole country. Their relationship began at a party where Craig literally swept Suzanne off her feet! Much of their courtship was spent … Continue Reading
Lucy and Jason’s Humanist Wedding at Eskmills Venue
We’ve all had those conversations outside nightclubs, haven’t we? Well it was on the steps outside Mood, not long after she and Jason first met, that Lucy told her bridesmaids Dawn and Danielle, ‘If I don’t marry him one day, there is something wrong!’ Six years later, she was proved right, in a very … Continue Reading
Rhian and Kenny’s Humanist Wedding at Colstoun House
I was very touched to get a thank you message from Kenny and Rhian the other day, illustrated by these very atmospheric photos by the talented Claire Juliet Paton. They chose to get married on the first day of the Six Nations, when Wales and Scotland met in Cardiff, so that required very careful planning. … Continue Reading
Sarah and Gavin’s Humanist Wedding at Carberry Tower
Gavin and Sarah are VERY fit! They’ve done the New York half-marathon and followed the Tour de France. They run, they swim, and they climb hills, so it made sense that Gavin proposed to Sarah by the side of the banks of the Union Canal where they first walked, ran, cycled, and … Continue Reading
Kirsty and Dean’s Humanist Wedding at The Strawberry Barn, Dunbar
Kirsty and Dean were very nearly childhood sweethearts. They went to the same primary and secondary schools, but it wasn’t until 5th year that Dean finally made it onto Kirsty’s radar when they bonded over their shared love of music. Dean was always buying the latest CDs from bands like the View, Pigeon Detectives, and Maximo Park, and he … Continue Reading
Helen and Sarah’s Humanist Wedding at Ravensheugh Log Cabin
Helen & Sarah described their meeting as ‘a modern Blind Date turned Love Story’. But it wasn’t fate that brought them together, it was Pink dot com! Their first date in the Lakes didn’t go quite to plan. The exhaust fell off Helen’s car, so their first encounter was in … Continue Reading
Andrew and Lisa’s Humanist Wedding at Broxmouth Park
Lisa and Andrew ‘reversed into marriage’, as I like to say, or in other words, they’d already created their family long before they ‘put a ring on it’, so their outdoor ceremony at the stately Broxmouth Park was a very relaxed and family-friendly affair. In fact the first thing they asked me to do was … Continue Reading
