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
Sally and Iain’s Humanist Wedding at Prestonfield House
Not every couple really gets the way I work, but Sally and Iain did from the word go. I remember getting this email from Sally when they’d done their homework. I can’t wait to read through these ceremonies! I’ve been reading your blog in every spare moment today and gathering up all … Continue Reading

Jason and Alice’s Humanist Wedding at their home in Lenzie
Can you imagine leaving it till the night before your wedding to write your ceremony? No, neither can I. Alice and Jason did. Mind you, they’re writers. And therein lies the clue. Writers work to deadlines. And even though we first met fully EIGHT months beforehand, it wasn’t until the morning of the ceremony itself … Continue Reading
Jolan and Dougie’s Humanist Wedding at Glencorse Golf Club

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
Thank you for making our day so special for us
Belinda and Brian’s Humanist Wedding at Dalriada, Portobello
You don’t need to be a writer to create a great ceremony, but it helps. Belinda and Brian can certainly string a sentence together, and I remember how much I liked the laid-back, funny way they wrote their homework. It was a long, long story (because they’ve known one another for a long, long time) … Continue Reading
