Tracy & Rufus’s Humanist Wedding at Wedderburn Castle
“It’s a beautiful thing when two eternally romantic idiots finally meet” As a creative director working in advertising, Rufus knows how to pack a lot of meaning into a small space.

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
