I believe the words “what are we paying him for?” came out my mouth (sorry Tim 🙈😳)

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. He and Tracy wanted their wedding to be short and sweet so that’s what it was. I remember turning up to the castle: everyone … Continue Reading
Katrina and Andrew’s Humanist Wedding at Pratis Barns
I loved how Katrina and Andrew’s ‘unplugged wedding ceremony’ began. I told the guests they wanted to see their faces not their phones, and then their friends Lizzie and Jamie gave us a lovely version of ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’ for Katrina’s walk down the aisle. They both came with a big team: Katrina had Jen, Amy, Natasha, not one but … Continue Reading
The D Word
I heard an interesting story on the radio this morning: it seems that BBC’s Sunday Programme on Radio 4 has commissioned its own research into the statistics and found that couples who choose to marry in a Humanist ceremony are up to four times less likely to divorce. You can read the full story here and … Continue Reading
Kerry and Robin’s Humanist Wedding at Marine Villa, Archerfield House
Kerry and Robin’s wedding was one of the highlights of my summer, and her excuse for not getting in touch before now is the highlight of my spring: she’s radiantly pregnant, and full of joy looking forward to her next big event! Anyone who reads my blog will know that ‘the homework’is absolutely central to … Continue Reading
How does the word homework make you feel?
I often wonder how people choose to share their homework with one another so it was lovely to get this message and photo from Amanda and Stuart. While Wee Molly the Westie was away at my mum’s for the weekend, we decided to share some alone time with some lovely red wine and read each other’s … 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
Jolan and Dougie’s Humanist Wedding at Glencorse Golf Club
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
Joanne and Colin’s Humanist wedding at Keavil House
We are so happy that you were the person to marry us. Thank you for all your support leading up to the wedding too. Everyone is still raving about how it was the most sincere ceremony they have ever attended and we couldn’t have done it without your help. Keep up the great work Tim. You’re obviously a natural at what you do 🙂
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
