Katy & Jerome’s Humanist wedding at Gorton House in Midlothian
Katy & Jerome met four years ago in Canada when they were both on an exchange – Katy from Scotland and Jerome from Australia, and as they said in their ceremony, they were both expecting to meet new people have fun and see another part of the world, but not to fall in love, so … Continue Reading
Adele & Paul’s Humanist Wedding at Dalhousie Castle
Messages like this one from Adele and Paul just remind me how fortunate I am to be doing what I do. Words cannot express how happy we were with the ceremony and all the guests were very complimentary. One is a regular churchgoer (of the Catholic persuasion), and she was just blown away with how … Continue Reading
Fee and Richard’s Humanist Wedding on the beach at Orocco Pier
We had such an amazing day and everyone commented on how special our ceremony was. In fact most people have said it’s the best wedding they have ever been to! I think the barometer for success is also that at least three different people asked for your details for their wedding/funeral(!)/naming ceremony!
Kate & Mark’s Humanist Wedding Ceremony at Broxmouth Park, Dunbar
There’s something about this photograph that makes me think of 60’s TV series like ‘The Avengers’, or ‘Man From Uncle’. Maybe it’s the haircuts. Or the strange costumes. Or the location – a rather spectacular country house not too far from Edinburgh, called Broxmouth Park. It was my first visit and I hope I have … Continue Reading
Fran and And’s Humanist Wedding in Fran’s Parents’ Garden in The Borders
Fran and And first got in touch with me last August; they’d wanted to marry in Fran’s parents’ garden and that led them to stumble across the HSS website. As they wrote at the time, “When we read a bit more about it, we both felt that the humanist values were very similar to our own … Continue Reading
Laura & David’s Humanist Wedding at Auchenbainzie, Dumfries
“Thank you so much for making the ceremony so special and memorable. I’m so sorry you didn’t stay… we were still dancing at 5 am!”
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
