Secret weddings are hard to organise! I first met Sarah and Richard in June and they told me that they wanted their ceremony to be the surprise element of their housewarming party, so it was crucial that word didn’t get out. My lips were sealed… The new home came with Richard’s new job: they were […]
said, We could not have been more pleased by the way the day went. The ceremony itself was perfect in the sense that it reflected our feelings towards each other and allowed us to share those with the people who mean so much to us. We had so many people come […]
Can you imagine leaving it till the night before your wedding to write your ceremony? No, neither can I. Alice and Jason did. Mind you, they’re writers. And therein lies the clue. Writers work to deadlines. And even though we first met fully EIGHT months beforehand, it wasn’t until the morning […]

Douglas Adam’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy doesn’t often serve as an inspirational source for a wedding ceremony, but that was how Steve and Judy chose to begin theirs.

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 […]
I love surprises. And this wedding, down in the wilds of Nithsdale, was certainly that. For a start, it was held in a calving barn… That had been converted for the weekend into an amazing Moroccan tent. I knew that David and Laura wanted their ceremony to be really informal, but when I arrived, I […]
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!
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 […]
