Secret weddings are hard to organise!

Chris and Scott’s wedding was very special to me, not just because we’ve been neighbours for almost 20 years, but much more importantly, because they’ve been together for 25!

Bob and Alison’s Humanist Wedding in their back garden
Alison recently sent me this clip of her wedding to Bob last summer: I love it, not just because I’m largely out of shot, but mostly because it really does capture something of the relaxed and intimate atmosphere of the day. Thanks Alison!
Caroline & Bruce’s Humanist Wedding in their garden
I always enjoy a story where love triumphs over adversity, and Caroline & Bruce’s story is a cracker! Childhood sweethearts at a highland boarding school, they were apart for 26 years before they met – and fell in love all over again. They had an intimate ceremony for close family only in a marquee in … Continue Reading
