This was one of the most intimate and fun weddings I’ve ever been part of. Grandad was on his knees chasing runaway a toddler to wipe a nose when he was called forward for the quaich! No less stunning and romantic for it. All immersed in autumn golds, it was such a pleasure to chat to your families who are crazy about you. Got to mention the best shoulders I’ve ever seen on a dress! Divine.

Massive congratulations to Abby and Mike, who were gorgeously laid back and clearly made for each other - thank you for letting me be part of it ♥️

Throwing back to Nicola and Peter's nuptials at Tyninghame Village Hall kicking off this summer's weddings. The setting was a testament to the couple's teamwork with crafty planning and hard work turning the space into the dreamiest spot for some emotional wedding vows and an afternoon tea!

Ziggy and Erin dance to the beat of their own drum and so their wedding would be nothing less than uniquely magical. Into a forest dedicated to a long lost friend they ventured, to start their happy ever after. Adorned with flowers they grew from seeds themselves they were witnessed by their loved ones. They made their own special vows to each other, carried on a summer breeze while cows mooed their approval. Congratulations to these two beauties. ♥️🌻🌳🐄👰🏼‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️💍☀️🪄

I’ll tell you a secret…I’m wedding dress obsessed. I’d be equally happy marrying a couple in their civvies and sorry grooms but I get mega excited about the reveal of the dress. When you get two in one, it’s even better and when you’ve got two gorgeous brides and two stunning dresses, it’s the jackpot. There’s so much more to talk about than what they wore, like the dreamy barn at , the reception space (drool), the weather, some of the most stylish guests I’ve ever seen (Kelly’s dad notable mention) but how incredible did Kirsty and Kelly they look on their big day?? The look on their faces when they saw each other for the first time was everything. It always makes me go a bit wobbly 🥰😍👰🏻♥️👰🏻

Hands up if your doggy just HAS to be in attendance on your big day? 🤚🤚🏻🤚🏼🤚🏽🤚🏾🤚🏿 Wendy’s amazing hairdresser played dog sitter to Bonnie during the ceremony so she could join the celebrations. She and her doggy sister Poppy featured heavily in Neil and Wendy’s story so I am gutted I didn’t get to meet her! 🐶♥️ This beautiful moment was captured by 📸

8 years to the day since I attended my very first humanist wedding ceremony. It remains one of the most magical days of my life, so full of love and tears and laughter. It’s all I hope for for every single one of my couples. I’m so grateful to for introducing me to humanism and why writing your own rules for your wedding is the most fun ever. I still can’t quite believe I now get to stand between couples on one of their most magical days. I thought I was quite the lucky 🐄 bagging but the fun never stops. If you’ve ever paused for thought and wondered why bother having a wedding at all, just take a look at our faces, framed by the beaming heads of our mothers, one of whom is sadly no longer here. This morning, looking back through photos I was gifted the joy of seeing her beautiful face again lit up by that magic. ⭐️🪄👰🏻♥️🤵🏻‍♂️ 💫 Love is everything and it deserves celebrating.

Just two weeks to go until I get to marry these two lovely people at ! I’m so excited for them as it’s been a LONG TIME COMING. Postponed multiple times, these two became a three welcoming baby Euan while they patiently waited for their day to come around again. After 13 years together they still look like they’re in the first flush as demonstrated by this cute pre-wedding photo op. Can’t wait guys! 👰🏻♥️🤵🏼

Channelling 🌸 spring 🌸 vibes on a 🌧dreich day 🌧 as I get stuck into some ☀️summer ☀️ weddings. Prep is everything when May is kicking wedding season off chocked full of nuptials and you’ll have a newborn in tow. Apologies in advance to hubby who’ll be spending his weekends in venue carparks on hungry baby alert 👶🏻🍼

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr and Mrs Mathieson! So much to say about Louise and Kenny. Some unexpected roadworks made the beautiful and highly organised unexpectedly late but handled the pressure well. He knew she would move heaven and earth to make their third wedding date and she did, getting out of the car and walking the rest of the way to meet her love at the top of the aisle. She is a legend and they are a cracking couple. It was such a thrill to marry them yesterday, so much energy buzzing in the room for them, not least from Grandad Willie and Dad Joe who were absolutely beaming with pride. ♥️👰🏻🤵🏻💐🍾

Please don’t look directly at and without the appropriate eyewear 🕶. They are just too luminous. Seriously. The laughter, the tears, the vows, the autumnal flowers, the venue, the GLAMOUR, the presence of , it was all too much. I loved marrying you two after such a long but patient wait. You are such a dreamy pair and I wish you every happiness in life! ♥️

It is so amazing and so hard to marry a friend to the love of her life. Trying to suppress a tear when she walked in and took everyone’s breath away, not letting my voice quiver when it was all just too sweet and romantic 🥰♥️ It isn’t helped when you’re in a 14th venture castle that oozes a sense of ceremony from every brick. It was epic. Thank you for having me Claire and Callum. It was so worth the wait and I even got a cuddle from before I had to go. I hope you have the most wonderful life together as a Mr & Mrs

I haven’t met a couple more relaxed than Terry and Debbie just before a ceremony is about to start. So well matched, they matched each other with their lack of obvious nerves, just super excited to get hitched and ready for the party! It was a gorgeous ceremony, my favourite part being the secret ‘things I love about you’. So real, so relatable! ♥️🎉💍🥰

Just a couple of weeks to go until Louise marries her Kenny. I’m buzzing for them. They’ve waited SO LONG to get their rescheduled big day and it’s so deserved. The hen is officially done! I cannot wait to see what they have in store for their guests and to finally make it official for this magic couple. ♥️

05/09/2021

Look at the grins on these two! Their first five minutes as husband and wife and it clearly suits them. 🥰 Mandy and Scott’s ceremony was so full of fun and laughter. Bridesmaids Liv and Hayley had everyone creased with laughter or wiping away tears of joy with their special readings written just for the happy couple. I love it when a ceremony is so personal and individual. From the music to the vows, everything was unique to this pair and was all the more joyful for it. ♥️

Swing and dream indeed. The temptation to swing to my heart’s content while we awaited the arrival of the bride today at The Walled Garden 🌺 was strong. Not a good look when the celebrant is erm busy over there catching air ....”wheeeee!” ♥️ This venue though 😍

Remember my dreamy videos and chocolate cake from a wedding in the stunning a few weeks ago? ⁣
⁣
The day belonged to this gorgeous pair, Adam and Tim. What a glorious day it was! ☀️ ⁣
⁣
The sun was beaming down on these two as they made their own rules and walked up the aisle together hand in hand. I was even holding back a tear when we wrapped up the ceremony with some

“Then you rose into my life⁣
Like a promised sunrise.⁣
Brightening my days with the light in your eyes.⁣
I’ve never been so strong,⁣
Now I’m where I belong.”⁣ 🤵🏻♥️🤵🏼

I have such a soft spot for these two newlyweds who tied the knot today! Tricia and Fraser have already completed so many adventures together in 21 years but are still crushing hard on each other like they only met yesterday. What a beautiful day it turned out to be for them and I loved watching almost all of South Queensferry come to halt to stop and stare at them. 👰🏻♥️🤵🏻‍♂️

25/07/2021

Oh damn, this is a good looking cake. I don’t even think the picture does it justice 🎂 What an absolutely stunning day for Adam and Tim’s wedding in the equally stunning Carlowrie Castle. Mother Nature did a cracking job with the sun streaming down on us during the ceremony! ☀️🤵🏻‍♂️🤵🏼‍♂️🍾🎊

Also swapping a honeymoon for a baby moon are Lisa and David 👰🏻🤵🏼. Adorable Euan 👶🏻 made his big entrance earlier this month and will hopefully be the laidback lad he looks to be now when their rescheduled nuptials come around again in July☀️Even more special with their new bundle of fun in attendance, this celebration due to take place at GG’s Yard will have been well earned!

“Congratulations! This is your day! You’re off to great places, off and away!
You have brains in your head and feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own and you know what you know. And you are the three who’ll decide where to go.” - Dr. Seuss

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making plans.” Pete and Eilidh were all set for a romantic wedding at The Strawberry Barn 🍓👰🏼🤵🏻💕💍 this year and when Covid hit their plans had to be shelved. That hasn’t stopped them from celebrating their best year yet and making a lifelong commitment to each other. Much to everyone’s delight they’ve swapped the new titles of husband and wife for ‘mum and dad’ instead. Little spring bud Juno 👶🏻 couldn’t have a more appropriate namesake than the Roman goddess of marriage.
I’m looking forward to the day I get to marry these two when it does come round again, especially as I’ll get to meet the gorgeous guest of honour herself ➡️➡️➡️. Wishing these three the very best for all that’s yet to come. ♥️

Been saving this special couple as this one comes as a three. ☺️ Lockdown is tough enough but when you’re working from home with an inquisitive three year old and a wedding cancellation to deal with?? 🤯 The lovely Jess and Chris are weathering the storm together and somehow making it look easy! Proof positive that lasting love is made in challenging times. ♥️ Swapping summer sun for autumn leaves, their gorgeous little ray of sunshine Matilda will be the star of the show when their ceremony finally takes place in October 2021 ☀️💐🍁🍂I can’t wait to see these three celebrating their big day. “I never thought through love we'd be
making one as lovely as she
but isn't she lovely made from love?” - Stevie Wonder 👰🏻🤵🏼💍

Two years ago today key worker executed an epic proposal to set to a movie worthy New York backdrop 💍🎥. Alas, their September wedding date has come and gone with no knots tied and 2021 will be their year instead. It’s been a trying and busy time for these two but they have an awesome knack for looking at the bright side and have marked all their ‘shoulda been’ dates with their trademark zest for life. Can’t hold em down! Here’s to another of my gorgeous and a big day worth waiting for! 🥂👰🏼🤵🏼♥️🍾 🎊 “Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering."

Because there ain’t no party like a Matheson party. Meet Louise and Kenny, who should have been four months and one week into married life by now 💍. ⁣
⁣
These lovebirds had to make the difficult decision to postpone their big day in 2020. The idea of reducing their hefty wedding party down to just a handful was a dealbreaker for this solid pair who have 8 years of good times already banked 🎉🔥💃♥️🕺🥂.⁣
⁣
They did however flip Covid the ring finger as they finally got the keys to their new home🏡. Determined to celebrate their nuptials in style, the extra wait will no doubt make this one an epic wedding never to be forgotten!⁣
⁣
I for one can’t wait to see quizmaster and Zumba Queen Louise bouncing up the aisle to meet Kenny with her usual gorgeous grin 👰🏻💐🤵🏻⁣
⁣
The worst part of life is waiting, the best part is having someone worth waiting for! ♥️🥰⁣
