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.
(105)

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.

29th of June - Silverwood

Huge congratulations to Lara and Keirran!!

This chilled out couple celebrated their love and commitment with a focus on family.

The ceremony included -

🎶 A grooms entrance with a banging tune!!

👰🏼 A super cute bridal procession with their adorable son, and memorable flower girls.

📝 Keirran’s brother shared the classic wedding poem, on your wedding day.

📖 With a decade of tales to share, we found out how they met at work, love to get away on holiday, grew as a family of three with baby Jonah, and a sentimental proposal as they returned to the place they shared their first kiss.

🪢 Lara and Keirran chose a traditional Scottish handfast to symbolise their commitment with their mums bringing forward sentimental materials to use.

💍 The best man brought forward the wedding rings and legal vows were exchanged.

💋the deal was sealed with a kiss before signing the marriage schedule to make everything official.

Such a lovely couple with a beautiful family.
Thank you for trusting me with your ceremony 💜
