The Father of the Bride Speaks…
I’m used to getting emails from couples I’ve married, but this is a first – a message from the parents of the bride, whose wedding I conducted last weekend over in Fife, at Balbirnie Castle! It was a great day, and I’m pretty sure that Victoria and Will enjoyed it too, but as they’re away … Continue Reading
Angela & Matt’s Humanist Wedding at One Royal Circus, Edinburgh
I remember that when I first spoke to Matt and Angela, they were going to marry at Edinburgh Castle, which in late January can be a cold and forbidding place, so I was very pleased when they told me they’d changed their minds and booked into Edinburgh’s most discreet private venue, One Royal Circus. A complete … Continue Reading
Jen & Ally’s Humanist Wedding at Glenbervie House Hotel
It’s always nice when people take the trouble to write and thank you after a ceremony, and I particularly like it when a couple creates a card using photos taken on the day. I got this last week from Jen and Ally, a lovely young couple whose wedding I celebrated at Glenbervie in early March: … Continue Reading
Suzy & Michael’s Humanist Wedding at Dundonald Castle
Suzy and Michael were a joy to work with. Even though they now live in the Isle of Skye, they came down all the way to Edinburgh because they wanted me to be their celebrant, so I could hardly refuse to go all the way over to Dundonald Castle in deepest Ayrshire, where they were … Continue Reading
Lindsay & Nigel’s Humanist Wedding at The Atrium, Edinburgh
The Atrium is a stunning venue and photographer Ross Barber must have arrived a lot earlier than I did to catch this great shot. Nigel’s two daughters, Ellie and Robyn were the flower girls, and in a really nice touch, when they came in, he went down the aisle to take them both by the … Continue Reading

Lina and Tony’s Humanist Wedding at Mansfield Traquair Edinburgh
Thank you very much in being part of our special day we really had a fantastic time and the ceremony was perfect, everybody was really touched by it.
Lina and Tony’s Humanist Wedding at Mansfield Traquair Edinburgh
As I often say when I’m explaining what makes a Humanist ceremony different, Humanists believe that there are more things that unite humanity, rather than divide it, and the greatest of these is love. Lina and Tony’s wedding was a textbook example. I think Lina’s dad looked really cool in his kilt. Lina and Tony … Continue Reading
