A few weeks ago I turned 42, bit of a scary age, but I’m coping well so far! I also had the enormous pleasure of conducting a truly unique wedding ceremony for a lovely couple: the beautiful Lauren and the handsome Ali. The ceremony was held at Queen’s Park in Glasgow within the bandstand, and...

A small but perfectly formed beautiful seaside wedding On a bright February day, I had the honour of conducting a very special marriage ceremony for Shanice and Mark, at the Seamill Hydro Hotel in Ayrshire.
