3 years ago I had the ultimate honour, as a celebrant, of being asked by a close family member to conduct her marriage ceremony. She also happens to be my business partner and a celebrant too… So no pressure then! I conducted the ‘couples meeting’ as I would have with any of the couples I...
In my time as Marriage Officer with Fuze, I have had the pleasure of visiting some of the best wedding venues in Scotland and I’d like to tell you all about one of my favourites; Pollok House. A National Trust building, Pollok House is nestled in the heart of Pollok Country Park on the outskirts...
With summer on its way we find out about Sheelagh and Gavin’s outdoor wedding in Edinburgh’s City Centre. Where did your story all start? Gavin proposed on Valentine’s Day and picked a beautiful ring. Where did you decide to tie the knot? We chose the botanical gardens in Edinburgh, as we really wanted to get...
This all started somewhere, how did you get engaged? It was me that proposed after a day at the rugby. I had planned to do it on Valentine’s day the week before, but the setting just wasn’t right, and me being me, I couldn’t wait for the leap year day the week after. It suited...
One of the great things about getting married in Scotland is that you can hold your ceremony virtually anywhere. The top of a mountain, the shore of a loch, or for Anne and Peter, your own home. After experiencing difficulties trying to organise a wedding venue from abroad, Anne discovered that their perfect venue was...
Scotland has many places to choose as the setting for your wedding Celebrations. I know it was hard enough for me when I first started looking, but I think for Steven and Mellissa, they knew straight away where their wedding was going to take place, and who could blame them? Where did you get married?...
Where to begin on this topic? It’s a toughie all right! I’ve worked with many couples over the last few years, many of whom are so nervous on their wedding day that my heart really does go out to them. And of course, it’s perfectly understandable. They’ve spent a great deal of time and expense creating...
The roots of the wedding vows exchanged in most modern ceremonies go back centuries. And although they have evolved over many generations, they still serve as an expression of one’s love and commitment to another. It’s a public declaration of love and a promise to share all that your future together may bring. As part...
A very special Loch Lomond wedding Every ceremony is unique and it doesn’t matter how large, or indeed, how small it is – the couple are the most important part. Jack and Kelly came all the way from California for their very special day and, as Jack has got his family roots here in Scotland,...
I love finding new venues and especially the tucked away ones that are off the beaten track. This summer I was delighted to conduct a Humanist Marriage ceremony at the fabulous Seaton Collegiate Church near North Berwick. Seton is one of the finest medieval collegiate churches surviving in Scotland. Its story begins in the 12th...
