Catherine and Alastair’s story proves that distance is no obstacle to romance. They fell in love even before they met in person for the first time, when Catherine flew over from Quebec, and Alastair gave her a whirlwind tour that took in gigs and ceilidhs, family meetings and the very special Isle of … Continue Reading

Eli and Kate’s Humanist Wedding in their garden
Kate and Eli came up with so many great ideas for their ceremony! First of all, it was at home, in their garden, which is a cook’s paradise. All their raised beds were brimming with prime produce just waiting for the wedding to be over so they could be picked. They decorated the entire garden with … Continue Reading
Sarah and Rob’s Humanist Wedding at Marlin’s Wynd
I told Rob and Sarah they’d never use this photo… As so often, I was wrong! Sarah and Rob are both busies, as they call the police in Liverpool, and they first met at the scene of a pipe-bomb incident. That and some Facebook stalking led to a first date at … Continue Reading

Writing your own wedding ceremony isn’t for everyone. And even when you know that it’s exactly what you want to do, it can still be a challenge. It certainly was for Jolan and Dougie. We first met back in June, but two months later, Jolan got in touch to say that they were … Continue Reading
Alex and Sandra’s Humanist Wedding at The Royal Botanical Gardens, Edinburgh
I don’t know why the gorgeous Sandra apologised for the delay in sending me these photos from her wedding – it was less than a fortnight ago, and we were very lucky because the John Muir Grove at the Botanics was bathed in that amazing golden light that you only get on an autumn afternoon. … Continue Reading
Donna and Graham’s Humanist wedding at Marlyn’s Wynd
There’s usually a good four month gap between the wedding and me blogging about it, but this has to be a record. I married Graham and Donna four YEARS ago! It was meeting them at Kevin and Lindsay’s wedding at the Hub last Christmas that brought them right back to mind. Marlyn’s Wynd is one … Continue Reading
Pat and Colin’s Humanist wedding at Cringletie House
Looking for ways to make your wedding memorable? Pat and Colin came up with lots. Telling the story. Rather than just rely on me, they broke it down into four sections, each of which they put into separate envelopes, and gave friends to read, with linking passages from me. A brilliant ice-breaker, that … Continue Reading
