When you’re getting married, you need to spend some time getting to know the person who’s going to conduct your ceremony.

So many guests commented on how relaxed, welcoming and entertaining it all was. We’re so happy we chose you to play this important part in our special day.
Shona and Simon’s Humanist Wedding at the National Museum of Scotland
No limousine could be more appropriate for a French/Scottish wedding than a Citroën Traction Avant! First produced in 1934, they’re still très chic today. My couples meet in all sorts of interesting ways, but Shona and Simon’s was truly a first: they were brought together by their daughters, Amy and Sophie. Best friends at school, they schemed to … Continue Reading
The wedding of Megan and Stephen wedding at Carlowrie Castle
I love this photo of Carlowrie Castle: it really does look like the setting for a fairy tale, and that is a good description of the story of Megan and Stephen, which began when their eyes met over an Übungsheft in their higher German class at Beath High School. Stephen was the class joker, and one … Continue Reading

They were both looking for a part time … Continue Reading

And Lee said that he didn’t know where … Continue Reading
Zoe and Michael’s Humanist Wedding in the garden of their Dunfermline home
I love a DIY wedding. Yes, castles are wonderful, but getting married in your own back garden takes courage, and Michael and Zoe have plenty of that! They met a long time ago, because Michael used to go camping with Zoe’s dad, and it wasn’t till they met at a festival in The Borders some years later that … Continue Reading

Sally and Sean’s Humanist Wedding at Borthwick Castle
When Sean and Sally got together eleven years ago, it was all thanks to Doctor Who! Sean may have suggested that a certain Scottish actor was his cousin: they certainly share the same surname, and when Sally’s sons Josh and Kyle found that out, they just had to meet Sean! Sally realised that she didn’t stand a … Continue Reading
