Go Scotland 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

I doubt I’ll see the match (far too late for me!)

Forgive the dude’s attire. I dragged him out the back to play before he went to the Explorers camp last night…his scout kilt is held up with safety pins 🙈

“That must be a nice job.”

Yes, you are absolutely right, it is and one that is never lost on me, but at the same time, there is a LOT of hard work that goes into being a wedding celebrant.

Here is an insight into my process and what I’m doing when I say “I’m busy” 😅

Huge shout out to all the celebrants out there, nailing it and putting in all the hard graft behind the scenes ♥️

Ami + Jonathan first met back in March 2014 when Ami walked into Bamboo nightclub in Glasgow…

And was greeted with a scene something right out of the Call On Me music video…

Leotards, tutus, sweatbands, coloured tights everywhere…in short, utter neon chaos!

And somewhere in the middle of that Lycra wonderland was Jonathan.

Jonathan cannot remember that night (too much vodka orange apparently!) but he did remember to add Ami on the socials and over the next few years and they would message each other every so often and like pictures of their travels.

Until Ami was on holiday in Bali and he decided this was his in…claiming he had been to that EXACT same snorkelling spot, under the water…in the middle of the Indian Ocean!

Ami told me she was buying it and knew fine well her bikini had been the trigger! Alas, his plan worked a treat as the flirty chat commenced and after a lot of chatting their first date was FINALLY set for March 2018.

Glasgow was the place, Pizza and Drinks were on the menu and that evening closed with a kiss under the Sir Walter Scott statue that was to change everything in their worlds as they knew it.

Lochgreen House Hotel looked stunning and everyone was blown away as Ami made her entrance in the most stunning dress.

Their ceremony was full of every emotion but the reasons they love each other section was cut short when Jonathan stopped me to say “TJ that’s in my speech later” which of course caused much hilarity!

Ami + Jonathan thank you so much for choosing me to be part of your momentous milestone. You are simply fabulous together and I feel honoured to have been part of it with you both ♥️

Emma and Gordon first crossed paths in full Covid glamour…

Masks on, standing two metres apart at Barmulloch community centre that was being turned down into a vaccination hub at the time.

At first, their interactions were polite work chit-chat, but when the smooth operator that is Mr Dale left a jar of hot chocolate on Emma’s desk, they got friendly, and when the work finished, Gordon left his number “just in case” there were any issues…

Well, Emma found one! And before they knew it, the message marathon commenced, and Gordon started to wonder if maybe (just maybe!) this could be something more.

So he decided to ask fate for his answer by flipping a coin… heads ask Emma on a date or tails leave it. It landed on heads, he asked, and of course, she said yes.

The Vu was filled with so much excitement as their story was shared, and of course, Kim, their beautiful wee furbaby, looked every bit of the part too. Oh, and they had everyone in fits of laughter when they exited the aisle being announced as Gordon and Emmerdale, and the tv show’s theme tune started! 🤣

Gordon + Emma, what an honour it was to be part of your wonderful day. Wishing you both the best of everything in your marriage and future.

Still my favourite moment when I get that first look on the day…

And a wee hug…don’t worry though, I’m always careful not to spoil/touch your makeup! 🤣

My beautiful bride, Steph, looked
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, and just check out that gorgeous smile of hers!

Thank you SO much to the fabulous and talented for sharing this moment with me ♥️

It’s June… and it’s absolutely pishing down (again!)

Honestly, nothing causes more anxiety than a couple who have their hearts set on an outdoor summer ceremony.

Scotland is beautiful, but it’s also SO unpredictable when it comes to the weather.

So please, always have a Plan B that you genuinely love (aka don’t choose your venue solely for those idyllic gardens!).

Remember, it’s not just about the weather on the day. Many venues will make the call a few days beforehand for health and safety reasons, because let’s face it no one wants guests slipping on wet grass!

Wind is also a huge factor. Hours spent by your hair and makeup team creating those perfect Hollywood waves, only for them to end up stuck to your face. Or worse you spending the entire ceremony trying to fix your hair instead of being present.

And if it’s been raining and you’re wearing a light coloured dress… just know it probably won’t stay that colour for long (which is no big deal to some, but it is to others)

The weather impacts your guests too, so if you’re planning an outdoor ceremony, make sure they know in advance. Many won’t think to bring a jacket to a Summer wedding, and if the sun does decide to make an appearance, they may not have packed sunscreen.

I know it’s so hard when you don’t get the weather you dreamed of, but it’s the one thing none of us can control. So where possible, try to stay flexible and make sure your venue has an indoor ceremony space that suits your vibe just as much as the outdoor one. ♥️

This pair had me at Hello…

Karen and Stuart first met back at school, but their stories from back then did vary…

Karen told me Stuart fancied her back then and even tried to kiss her at a school disco and then tried to later gate crash her birthday party…neither of which went his way!

Stuart told me Karen wasn’t quite the angel she makes out today…as she actually bullied him on the school bus! A story she completely denies and insists Stuart’s memory is “exaggerated.”

Anyway, the universe did its thing when it brought them back together online…

and oh how the tides changed when on their first date, Karen out of nowhere went for a kiss in the middle of the bowling alley (which she also completely denied!)

Óran Mor was packed with love for them last Sunday (and I’m still sure some guests weren’t meant to be there as we had to put an extra 20 seats out!)

Their brief was clear: fun, no fluff, all about them and not too lovely dovey! It was them to a T ♥️

Oh, and I had the BEST wedding planner in Scotland keeping me right…their nephew, Scott (doesn’t he look every bit of the part)

Mr + Mrs Hanna, you pair are what love + marriage is all about. Thank you so much for choosing me to be part of your special day, wishing you both the best of everything in your marriage with Poppy + Daisy 😽

You always know you are in for an absolute treat when your bride starts by telling you…

“TJ, I want it to be known for the record that I ghosted Sam first” 🤣

Sam and Lara had the best getting-together story: first meeting on Hinge, following each other on Insta, then finally starting chatting properly during a global pandemic!

Their first date started off a little bumpy when Lara had to sit on a wall and watch Sam inhale a Five Guys meal, and both were left thinking “this date is going downhill fast” when they found themselves talking about the colour of a nearby Kwikfit garage sign!

Alas, their walk around The Meadows in Edinburgh had them laughing, taking the mick of each other, and finished with a kiss (or two!) that was to change their worlds as they knew it.

Falside was picture perfect as their nearest and dearest gathered to celebrate their love, milestone, and marriage.

Mr + Mrs Kirkham, thank you so much again for choosing me to be part of your day, and I hope you have the best time celebrating in Thailand.
