My thanks to Offbeat Bride, photographer Ingrid Murs and of course to Fiona & Tom for making this post very easy… Tom and Fiona chose to marry at Kirknewton Stables, a popular venue for people who like to do things their own way: and they really did, in every sense. The bridesmaids helped make all the pom-poms, … 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
Kevin and Kellie’s Humanist Wedding at Edinburgh Castle
I like to end the year on a high, and that’s exactly what Kellie and Kevin’s wedding delivered. As it was just after the winter solstice, they very sensibly chose a late start, and I remember that Kellie entered the great hall of the Queen Anne Room “at 4.38 precisely!”, a pre-scripted … Continue Reading

Marie & Keith’s Humanist Wedding at Dundas Castle
“Our wedding was all the better because of you. It really was the best day of our lives – thank you for being a part of it!”
Jo and Sandy’s Humanist Wedding at Howie’s Waterloo Place
I’ve never had a thank you card quite like this one: it’s a Smilebox, sent to me by Sandy and Jo whose wedding last November was a total hoot. You can see it here and listen to it too: the soundtrack is the song they chose to have all their guests sing to them during … Continue Reading

Fame at last!
My former life in adland rarely comes back to haunt me, but I was really tickled to see that I made the front cover of must-have Ad-Mag David Reviews today. Why? Well in a couple of months from now, I’m going to be in a garden somewhere near Glasgow, conducting the wedding of its editor, Jason Stone, … Continue Reading

Alex and Christina’s Humanist Wedding at Prestonfield House
Tim helped us realise that we should make our ceremony as personal as we wanted.

James and Anna’s Humanist Wedding at Carberry Tower
“Thank you so much for helping us have the most incredible and best day of our lives. You were absolutely perfect and made us feel so special. It was a true pleasure to have you involved from the absolute beginning. We were so lucky to have met you and have you involved in our special day. We received so many compliments for the ceremony and everyone said it was the best they had ever seen! “

Katie and Paul’s Humanist Wedding at The Caves, Edinburgh
We would like to thank you again for marrying us in October. Everybody was very impressed at how personal and balanced our ceremony was, and how great you were.
