Joanne and Phil’s Humanist Wedding at Orocco Pier
This has to be the best chat up ever. Phil: ‘Would you like to come to the Bruce Springsteen gig with me?’ Joanne: ‘I’d love to but you’ll never get tickets!’ Phil: ‘Don’t worry: I know someone in the band…’ You’d never guess Phil was an Irishman would you?

Ross and Kirsten’s Humanist Wedding at Carlowrie Castle
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.

Weddings are often seen as a ‘girl’ thing, so this story told from the groom’s point of view is very special for lots of reasons.

Ashley and Jamie’s Humanist Wedding at Balbirnie House
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin.
