I received a wee note from my grandma today, and in it she wrote ‘Thank you for a lovely day, both your granddad and I agreed it was the best wedding we had been to, the service was so personal and beautiful,

Camilla and Kevin’s Humanist Wedding at Winton House
“We just wanted to get in touch to say thank you for helping make our day extra special.”
Lorraine and Jim’s Humanist Wedding at Archerfield House
Some couples just look perfect together: at least that was what I remember from my first meeting with Jim and Lorraine earlier this year. They’d started out as neighbours, who passed on the stair, said hello, and got on with their busy lives, but gradually other people began to notice an attraction growing. One such … Continue Reading
Janice and Billy’s Humanist Wedding at the Open Arms in Dirleton
Billy and Janice got in touch with me in June to ask if I could conduct their wedding in August. They don’t hang about, this pair! As Billy wrote in his homework, “Janice and I met on a cruise to Svalbard. We would meet on deck and talk. I remember at times thinking I wish … Continue Reading
Jo & Tosh’s Humanist Wedding at Broxmouth Park

Kate & Mark’s Humanist Wedding Ceremony at Broxmouth Park, Dunbar
There’s something about this photograph that makes me think of 60’s TV series like ‘The Avengers’, or ‘Man From Uncle’. Maybe it’s the haircuts. Or the strange costumes. Or the location – a rather spectacular country house not too far from Edinburgh, called Broxmouth Park. It was my first visit and I hope I have … Continue Reading
Colin & Julia’s Humanist Wedding at Tyninghame Village Hall
There was a great video on the web earlier this year, which showed an American couple and all their friends dancing down the aisle. Colin came up with an equally striking entrance – he, his brother and best man, George and their friend Ewan, ‘drummed the bride in’ – dig that crazy rhythm, hep cats! … Continue Reading
