So, a genuine question, not a rhetorical one....... I don't know about you, but my Facebook and Intsatgram feeds have been full of beautiful stories of romantic wedding proposals and love has certainly been in the air. As a wedding celebrant who is never happier than when talking about all things wedding ceremony, then this is a wonderful thing to see. This year however, I paused to reflect. I had an initial telephone interview with a couple who are getting married in Februar

A mini 'blogette' Hello all. I often get asked "what is the difference between a celebrant wedding and a registrar led wedding?". In a nut shell it’s the personal service. As a celebrant I am committed to getting to know you as individuals long before your wedding day.

I was offered assistance parking, to be escorted with an umbrella as I unloaded and generally made to feel that nothing was too much trouble. Rewind.

So, you are getting married and you are hoping to have a truly unique wedding that shares all that you and your loved one represent. Have you thought about designing and making your own wedding rings? I was talking to a bride to be who is getting married in June. She and her fiancé are heading up to Edinburgh to a wedding ring making workshop. http://www.makeweddingrings.co.uk/home-page http://www.selinacampbell.com I can not wait to see the fruits of their labour.

I asked my husband "What BIG screen movie would you have got married to? Answer: "The runaway bride!". How very much dare he. Not cooking dinner tonight. He can self cater. That'll be beer and crisps then :-) . How cool would it be to hire a huge screen, have all your friends and family assembled and have the movie o

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4fBZb1rl0AI was privileged to meet with a wonderful lady yesterday who made me pause and reflect on some of the many changes that face couples as they journey through married life together. This very special lady has had a full and eventful life. Together with her husband they have lived through life threatening illnesses, the birth of children, their children growing and having families of their own, and more recently, becoming great, great g
