The ceremony was definitely our favourite part of the day: so many guests said how lovely it was and how well you delivered it. It was all down to the prep you made us do, and writing it ourselves really did make it feel so special and personal.

Ashley and Jackie’s Humanist Wedding at Marlin’s Wynd
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll have seen my version of this photo about a month ago! Ashley looked lovely, but I could tell she was a bit nervous.

Shona and Simon’s Humanist Wedding at the National Museum of Scotland
No limousine could be more appropriate for a French/Scottish wedding than a Citroën Traction Avant! First produced in 1934, they’re still très chic today. My couples meet in all sorts of interesting ways, but Shona and Simon’s was truly a first: they were brought together by their daughters, Amy and Sophie. Best friends at school, they schemed to … Continue Reading

Stephen was the class joker, and one … Continue Reading
