Leanne and Greig’s story is a very modern fairytale, so – if you’re sitting comfortably – I’ll begin… Greig first proposed to Leanne just three months after they met. OK, it was in Munich, and it was during Oktoberfest, so it’s no big surprise that once they’d both sobered up, they agreed to put their … Continue Reading

Grant and Natasa’s Humanist Wedding at The Secret Herb Garden
We continue to receive nothing but compliments about just how wonderful our wedding and in particular the ceremony was.
Fiona and Gavin’s Humanist Wedding at the Ghillie Dhu
Not every love story is romantic, but I think that’s a good thing! Fiona and Gavin first met in the thoroughly unromantic setting of the staff base of a Manchester hospital. Their next encounter was at a staff meal. Fiona was the only girl to finish hers, which prompted Gavin to say, “I love a girl with a … Continue Reading
Ross and Rachael’s Humanist wedding at The Balmoral Hotel
Music is a big part of Rachael and Ross’s life. They first met in August 2011 when they boarded a bus with mutual friends to go to the music festival Creamfields, where they danced like idiots to Calvin Harris, (once Rachael had woken up!) So perhaps it wasn’t that much of a … Continue Reading
Ingrid and Tom’s Humanist Wedding at Jupiter Artland
Writing the ceremony ourselves made it come from the heart, and that has such strong emotional impact.
Zoë and Scott’s Humanist Wedding at The Balmoral Hotel
It’s not often I marry a teacher to a pupil, but that was how Zoë and Scott met, when Zoë was a final year medical student and Scott gave her extra teaching for her final exams.

Karen & Richard’s Humanist Wedding at Swanston Brasserie
I love this photo, because Richard and Karen are clearly smiling and kissing at the same time: it just sums up their ceremony, which was great fun, from start to finish! Richard and Karen first met at at Alicante airport when Karen was pretending to be ‘Vhari’ the hyperactive taxi driver who’d been … Continue Reading
Katie and Chris’s wedding at the Royal College of Physicians Edinburgh
So many of our guests said how beautiful our ceremony had been, and that they thought they would become humanists.
Lauren and Danny’s Humanist Wedding at Edinburgh Zoo
I remember when I arrived at the Mansion House at the Zoo, Danny was looking especially nervous. He and Lauren had chosen to speak their vows to one another directly and without sharing them beforehand, so I suggested he take a moment to sit and read them over, so he was composed when the time came. Danny spent a … Continue Reading
Louise and James’s Humanist Wedding at the Principal George Street
Sometimes the best weddings are when things go wrong. Like when the groom realises that he’s left the Marriage Schedule at home, and it’s only half an hour till kick off… I will never forget James’s expression when I turned up at the Principal George Street, and he realised that there was one important element missing from … Continue Reading
