Joanne and Phil’s Humanist Wedding at Orocco Pier
This has to be the best chat up ever. Phil: ‘Would you like to come to the Bruce Springsteen gig with me?’ Joanne: ‘I’d love to but you’ll never get tickets!’ Phil: ‘Don’t worry: I know someone in the band…’ You’d never guess Phil was an Irishman would you? Sure, the craic was great at […]
Lisa and Ray’s Humanist Wedding at Orocco Pier
there are few things I enjoy more than telling Rangers fans that they’re being married by a Tim…
Siobhan and Stephen’s Humanist Wedding at Orocco Pier
I sometimes talk on this blog about couples ‘reversing into marriage’ and what I mean by that is that nowadays it’s much more normal to have your family first and get married later.That’s what Stephen and Siobhan did. They met because they worked in the same office in Glasgow, but it took a couple of […]
Pam and Lee’s Humanist Wedding at Orocco Pier
It’s the tiny details that make a humanist wedding so personal and moving. Pam told us she realised Lee was ‘The One’ shortly after they got together, when she went into the kitchen to find him picking the onions off a pizza because he knew she didn’t like them. And Lee said that he didn’t know where […]
Laura and Graham’s Humanist Wedding at Orocco Pier

Marie & Keith’s Humanist Wedding at Dundas Castle
People keep telling me they’ve seen me conducting weddings in videos all over the web, but I’ve never seen any: till now. Keith and Marie got married earlier this year, all the way up the ancient spiral stone staircase of the Old Keep at Dundas Castle, and it was a wonderful occasion, as you can […]
Leigh & Gregor’s Humanist Wedding on Inchcolm Island
I always look forward to getting photos and cards from the couples I marry, telling me what made their day so special, but this is one I will never forget! Leigh and Gregor chose their wedding date because it was 16 years to the day since they met. As they said in their ceremony, “Home, […]
Olly and Joy’s Humanist Wedding at Orocco Pier
People often ask me what makes one wedding different from another? Well, what I remember most about Joy and Olly’s wedding was the pause for contemplation, just before they exchanged their vows. Rather than the usual one minute’s silence, all I could hear was sniffing. First it was one person, then it was two. They were […]
Sam & Em’s Humanist Wedding on Inchcolm Island
We had a truly wonderful day; even with all the chaos such as no music, force 9 winds and that rollercoaster of a boat ride home, it was absolutely perfect.
