So your registrar led ceremony is now postponed - A celebrant led ceremony is NOT second best

The Bad News: You've had to cancel or postpone your longed for wedding ceremony I just wanted to give a big shout out to any of you out there right now facing a cancelled or postponed wedding. I feel your frustration and your worry. Whilst we can all understand intelligently the necessity of these life saving measures, it is still entirely normal to feel sad when you have spent so much time, care, energy love, and not to even mention the 'M' word on making sure that your day

Valentines day is over. So did he ask?......What stopped you asking him!

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

Wedding trends. I'm not a fan.

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.

I will wor

Rich history, breath-taking scenery, Alpaca’s and Fishing. Can you have it all on your wedding day?

The Kilnsey Park Estate. Now I always start my appraisal of a venue with ‘the feel’.

A Celebrant Across the Life Cycle

Welcome new readers and welcome back to True to You's existing followers. Today I wanted to share something that runs thematically throughout my work as professional celebrant and as a nurse - the 'life cycle'.
