Nicola & Justin’s Humanist Wedding at Carlowrie Castle
This is the story of what happened when Cleopatra met a guy in a Christmas jumper.
Julie-Anne & Andy’s Humanist Wedding at Fingask Castle
Tim brought our wedding to life and allowed us to share our day with our family.
Jo and Andy’s Humanist Wedding on The Cobbler
I absolutely LOVE mountain weddings, but they’re not for the fainthearted. Even in good weather, getting up to the summit requires a lot of planning and preparation, but when it’s absolutely tipping down as it was last Sunday, well, that’s when you find out what people are made of. Andy and Jo are climbers: ‘craggers’ […]
Barbara and Michael’s Humanist Wedding at The Caves
Do you know the song, ‘The Book of Love’? Peter Gabriel’s version is here* and the lyrics were an important inspiration to Michael and Barbara when they created their ceremony in far-off Chicago. The book of love is long and boring And written very long ago It’s full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes And things we’re all […]
Allana and David’s Humanist Wedding at The Vu
I had a lovely surprise when I bumped into David and Allana, whose wedding I conducted at The Vu back in November 2015. They were guests at Serena and Gary’s wedding at Carlowrie Castle last weekend, and it turns out that it was their wedding that made Gary and Serena decide to work with me… I […]
Fran and Bobby’s Humanist Wedding on Calton Hill
Flaming June days are rare in Edinburgh, but Fran and Bobby are a lucky couple. That’s not me in the pic btw: Bobby and I just go to the same hairdresser. Their ceremony was simple, direct, and full of fun. When they met, Fran was living in her girly palace with her daughter while Bobby […]
Ross and Polly’s Humanist Wedding at Aikwood Tower, Selkirk
How much fun do you think Polly and Ross had at their wedding? It really was a cracking day for my first visit to Aikwood Tower, but not – I hope – my last. It’s a very funky conversion of a 16th century Peel Tower, and I couldn’t have seen it in a better light. Ross […]
Alex and Becka’s Humanist Wedding at St Columba’s by The Castle
Sometimes even before I meet a couple, I get a sense that they’re going to be a lot of fun to work with, and so it was with Becka and Alex. Back in March, they sent me an email that said, “Hiya, We saw you in action at Kate and Mark’s wedding out of town by a lake […]
Jo & Rob’s Humanist Wedding on Buachaille Etive Mhor
When I first wrote my profile on the HSS web site, one of my hopes was that one day someone would ask me to conduct their wedding on top of a mountain. Many years went by but then in March of this year, I got a call from Rob and Jo who not only wanted […]
