Tim helped us realise that we should make our ceremony as personal as we wanted.

James and Anna’s Humanist Wedding at Carberry Tower
“Thank you so much for helping us have the most incredible and best day of our lives. You were absolutely perfect and made us feel so special.

We received so many compliments for the ceremony and everyone said it was the best they had ever seen! “

We would like to thank you again for marrying us in October. Everybody was very impressed at how personal and balanced our ceremony was, and how great you were.
Catie and Mark’s Humanist Wedding at The Scotch Malt Whisky Society
I often bump into couples I’ve married at the weddings of their friends. I don’t usually meet them at the John Lewis sale, but that’s where Catie and Mark tracked me down earlier this week! As I said at the time, it was a bit spooky, as I’d only just looked out the wonderful … Continue Reading
Debbie and Jason’s Humanist Wedding at The George Hotel, Edinburgh
I don’t often get to tell a tale of teenage love at first sight, but Jason and Debbie met in 3rd year at Bo’ness Academy, so their story was a long and winding one. It took in a few serious lows (like Jason breaking his back in a rock-climbing fall) along with some … Continue Reading
Fiona & Phil’s Humanist Wedding at Prestonfield House
Rules are there to be broken. Most ceremonies last half an hour: Fiona and Phil’s took ten minutes. Most brides arrive with their dads.

Jane and Peter’s Humanist Wedding at The Glasshouse Hotel
The Glasshouse Hotel at the top of Leith Walk has a glorious roof garden, and one day I’m going to be lucky enough to conduct a wedding on it. But on the day Peter and Jane chose earlier this year, the sun was hiding behind a veil of haar, so instead, they married indoors with a … Continue Reading
Ellie & Neil’s Humanist Wedding at The City Chambers, Edinburgh
This lovely thank you card reminded me why I’ll never forget Ellie and Neil’s wedding.Ellie’s mum Catrin gave a reading of a poem by Edward Lear that had been Ellie’s favourite as a child. It’s called the Quangle Wangle Quee, and what made it so special was that Catrin was actually wearing the Quangle Wangle Quee’s hat! Thanks Ellie and Neil … Continue Reading
Sally and Ali’s Humanist Wedding at Mansfield Traquair
One of the joys of my job is that I bump into people I’ve married in the most unlikely places. With Ali and Sally, it was in the supermarket, a good eight months after the event. What made it even stranger was that I’d shared a lift in the very same supermarket the previous evening … Continue Reading
