As I approach the 9-month mark since my stroke, I wanted to share an update on my journey and how it's impacting my work with my beloved wedding couples.

From the outset, my aim has been to defy the odds in my recovery, aiming to regain full mobility within a timeframe much shorter than the typical 18 months advised by my consultants. While the road has been challenging, I'm proud to report progress: from relying on a wheelchair initially, to using a tripod stick, then transitioning to a single stick, and now, with the assistance of a leg brace, I'm able to walk short distances independently.

My initial hope was to resume conducting ceremonies this spring. However, as Xmas came and went, I realised that my focus must remain on my rehabilitation during 2024, to ensure I'm mentally and physically prepared for the years ahead, starting with 2025.

Unfortunately, this means that I've had to reschedule the remaining weddings for 2024 with alternative Fuze celebrants. Once again, I must thank my colleagues Weddings by Fuze Ceremonies for their incredible support.

At this time, I won't be taking any new bookings as my priority is to now regain my ability to write, particularly as the stroke I suffered affected my dominant side. As a left-hander, the frustration has been tough as you can imagine.

In short, progress has, and is being made, and I'm so grateful for the love and support I've received through your messages, visits, cards, and gifts. While I'm not comfortable being in the spotlight for this, your kindness has been such a help on the hardest of days.

It's crucial to remember that strokes can affect anyone, at any time. Recognising the signs and acting swiftly can save lives. Please familiarise yourselves with the F.A.S.T acronym:

Face – Look for drooping on one side of the face, an inability to smile, or a dropped mouth or eyelid.
Arms – Check for difficulty lifting both arms or keeping them up due to weakness or numbness in one arm.
Speech – Pay attention to slurred or garbled speech, or an inability to speak despite being awake.
Time – If you notice any of these signs, act fast. Awareness is key.

With heartfelt gratitude and love, until my next update.

it was so lovely to receive these words and thank you card from Debbie and Kevin. We actually met a year ago and had brunch in Glasgow together when we talked through what kind of ceremony they would like snd they had a fab story to tell, and I was excited to write ceremony for them and was so disappointed to not be able to tell all their family and friends on their wedding day as sadly this was the daiI had a stroke-Debbie and Kevin started out as friends with their shared love for attending music festivals and drinking milkshakes and now they are husband and they had an amazing wedding day - married by my mentor morag Webster from fuze ceremonies who very kindly stepped in to legally marry them before they set off on their dream-honeymoon to oz and Bali 🏝️🥰
