Tegan Elder Humanist Celebrant

Tegan Elder Humanist Celebrant I am a Humanist celebrant with Thistle Humanists. I conduct legal weddings, naming days and funerals My background is working with children and families.

As a member of the Thistle Humanists, I am a Humanist Wedding Celebrant in Scotland with Thistle Ceremonies. I am:

- Registered with the General Register of Scotland to perform legal Humanist marriages.
- A member of the Thistle Humanists
- Will create a marriage ceremony that is personal and meaningful.
- Disclosure checked, fully trained, insured and licensed.
- Trained in symbolic gestures for

weddings such as handfasting, tree planting, sand ceremony and many more. More about me -

When myself and my husband were planning our own wedding, we were looking for a ceremony that would capture our personalities and would provide us with the flexibility to be creative. We chose a Humanist ceremony, and we were inspired by how unique and personal the experience was and our guests loved it! It was this experience that interested me to find out more about Humanism and I felt a connection to the Humanist philosophy. Training to become a celebrant in 2017 felt like a natural next step. I try to embrace life and adore spending time with my own family and friends to ensure that I build magical memories and live my best life! Being a celebrant is the most rewarding role. It is always an honour to be asked to bring families together as it is a privilege to be part of huge milestones in people’s life and can support them to create bespoke ceremonies. I take pride in my work, and I am humbled to be asked to be the voice, whether it is at a celebration of life funeral, the celebration of new life with a naming day or celebrating love with a legal wedding ceremony or a vow renewal. I am based in Dundee and am happy to travel to all areas of Dundee, Angus, Perthshire, and Fife.

2nd of November - Huntingtower Hotel

Huge congratulations to Suzanne and Colin!!

This wedding was truly a celebration of family. Suzanne and Colin have the most loveliest kids who played a big role throughout.

The ceremony was a great mix of emotion and giggles.
I had 15 years of journey highlights to share, their friend read the gorgeous Ms Moem poem, here’s to right now, and their song choices reflected their lost loved ones favourite songs 🥹

It was a pleasure to bring the four of them together with a family handfast which included some beautiful promises 🪢

The newlyweds also made a toast to their future with a traditional nip of whiskey sipped from the Quaich.

What a joy to get to know more about this wonderful family 🥰
Thank you for trusting me with your ceremony 💝

1st of November - Piperdam

Huge congratulations to Alison and Calum!!

What an absolute joy getting to know these two 😁 So much fun and so many stories!!

Alison’s entrance nearly tipped me over the edge 🥹. She came down the aisle with her brother, then they stopped to ask her step dad to join them. It was such a touching moment and definitely a proud moment 🥰

I had great fun sharing highlights of their journey together. Then I had the pleasure of sharing their secret 3 reasons which were hilarious 🤣

Family is life for these two so it was important to include their son, and Reuben did a fantastic job bringing the wedding rings forward 💍

A great couple to have the pleasure of marrying.
Thank you for trusting me with your ceremony 💝

📸PHOTO SHARE📸

On such a wet and wild day, I thought this would be the perfect moment to share these dreaming images of Hayley and Ben’s ceremony, lovingly capturing by

Looking at these pictures, you would think it was a summer wedding, but in fact it was early October!

The late afternoon sunshine gave a beautiful glow as the guests looked out towards the river Tay from the Birkhill Castle grounds.

I loved so much about this special day, from Hayley’s dress, shoes, and accessories, to their hand written personal vows, the pretty infinity knot, to the scenic backdrop and dulcet tones from the string quartet.

Thank you Amber for sharing your gorgeous photos 🤩

Huge congratulations to Lauren and Fraser!

What a beautiful celebration of love, commitment, and family.

It was important to these gorgeous new parents that we included their beautiful daughter in the ceremony - what a smiley wee babe she was 😍

Lauren and Fraser composed the right balance of humour and heartfelt vows which included promises to Ava too, which worked perfectly for a family handfast 🪢

They continued the importance of family theme by surprising the mums with a gift of thanks 💝

Then it was their turn to be surprised and memorised as magician William blew their minds ✨

What a fantastic couple to work 🫶🏻

25th of October - Balbirnie

What a bundle of joy and fun it was celebrating Emma and Stewart’s big day!

Right from the start, this ceremony packed a punch and was full to the brim with emotion and personality.

Stewart kicked things off with his epic groom’s entrance which was a brilliant nod to his love of wrestling 🎶

It was an emotional moment when beautiful Emma entered the room 🥹.

The ceremony included an intimate handfast allowing Emma and Stewart to exchange their heartfelt personal vows 🪢

We had a surprise ring bearer which was hilarious 😆!

Emma and Stewart presented their mum’s with a thoughtful Jo Malone gift.

Then we finished off with a selection of celebrant led selfies 🤳🏻 which was a lot of fun!

Such a gorgeous day to be part of 🥰

20th of October - Forbes of Kingennie

After ceremony planning with Heather and Stephen, I was so excited about their big day!!

They decided to keep the ceremony fairly straightforward and personal with myself sharing some of their relationship highlights including Stephen’s musical proposal 💍

This wonderful moment was the inspiration for one of the BEST bridal entrances I have had the pleasure of witnessing 🤩

Stephen composed the most amazing song for Heather and he serenaded the bridal party down the aisle whilst playing his guitar.
It was such a magical moment and one I am sure that anyone present won’t forget.

A truly wonderful day to be part of 🥰
Thank you for trusting me with your ceremony 💝
