Everyone but everyone wants to get married at 2.30 pm on a Saturday afternoon, which means of course that the venues have you over a barrel and can charge a premium. I think more people should copy Katy and Beej’s example and marry on a Monday, when even a top restaurant, like The Atrium will … Continue Reading

Camille & Virginia’s Humanist Wedding in the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh
Camille & Virginia’s wedding wasn’t the first outdoor wedding that I’ve conducted half in French and half in English, and it wasn’t the first I’ve done in the Botanics either, but it was the first time I’ve done it under threat from an imminent thunder storm. Unlike most couples, they chose to arrive together, which … Continue Reading

Sharon & Marc’s Humanist Wedding at The Caves in Edinburgh
I love this photograph, which looks more like a rock concert than a wedding. It looks very dramatic, although Marc & Sharon’s wedding was actually very low key, intimate and affeccting.

One of the reasons Doug gave for loving her was that, “Beth is the most gorgeous girl in the world and she still won’t take his word for it.” Maybe she will now.

Anita & Isra’s Humanist Wedding at Redhall Walled Garden in Edinburgh
One of the many great things about their wedding was that they involved so many friends in so many ways.
Anita & Isra’s Humanist Wedding at Redhall Walled Garden in Edinburgh
Anita & Isra really embraced my suggestion that they involve as many of their friends as possible.
Chiara & Tim’s Humanist Wedding at the National Trust for Scotland’s House in Charlotte Square
Tim & Chiara’s ceremony was great fun, not just because it was so well-written and moving but because at least half the guests were Italian and in the way that only Italians can, they wore their most glamourous fur coats and smoked with impunity!
