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.

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

Danny spent a … Continue Reading
Louise and James’s Humanist Wedding at the Principal George Street
