TJ…we are worried that our dog will cause utter chaos during the ceremony…

Well I say…bring it on! 🤣

As long as you don’t think it would be too much for them and you have thought through the logistics I am more than happy to make/have them part of your day. They are family too 🫶

Things to thing about:

☆ Does your venue/accomodation allow dogs?
☆ Do you have a chaperone or designated person that is willing to be on dog duty?
☆ Where will they go during the meal?
☆ Do you have guests attending who have an allergy or a fear of animals?
☆ Are they good with kids and strangers?
☆ Is there a place for them to go to get shade/have time out?
☆ Will they be too much of a stress/distraction for you both?

At the end of the day you know your pet best and can make that call…I adore dogs but wouldn’t even consider having Alba there because she is a RIOT and would likely tip over the cake but Bailey (pictured) was an absolute dream at his Mum and Dads wedding and I know they wouldn’t have had it anyway other way 💙

However what I will say is…if they go running with those wedding rings you will need someone with longer legs than mine to chase after them! 🤣

Never one to support an ad…but I honestly think this is a brilliant idea!

Death and dying can be such a hard hard time for the loved ones left to pick up the pieces and make arrangements whilst grieving. It would give them great comfort knowing your exact wishes.

Having this completed for them could make a difficult time so much easier on them. I adore the letter section section 🫶

Choose a Celebrant that feels/looks this way when they see you for the first time before your aisle moment…

Because they’ve taken the time to know you both so well and are fully invested in your story, your day…and they really do feel like a “Proud Maw”.

The End 💕

Lauren and Scott thank you so much for sharing this with me (and your day) I cannot wait to share the rest of them with everyone else 🫶

Dramatic…moi!?

Ok maybe just a little but the way I see it, it is my job to bring the right amount of energy to keep your ceremony flowing and your guests engaged…BUT…

Simply put, your wedding ceremony is NOT about me. I am the mere facilitator of your love story, and whilst I am a lassie who loves to laugh and adores a bit of banter your ceremony is not a stand up or a fringe show.

Getting that right takes balance, experience, communication and a whole lot of self awareness on my part.

It’s about how I add value 🫶

Thats why I have a clear process in place for my ceremonies, because ultimately I know my couples will need/want different things from me on their day.

In short don’t be nervous about telling your celebrant exactly what tone you want set…I will always be honest with you if I think you might be better suited to another celebrant or I will alter my inner dial to get that balance right for you both.

Huge thanks to Eilidh and Keith for sharing this memory with me, it’s always a glorious moment when the handfasting works first time…and should be celebrated 💕

Time off in peak season!?

Yup 😊

This is the first year since becoming a celebrant that I’ve managed to do this and I can’t wait to close down my computer, lock my folder in a drawer and turn off my social media notifications!

August 2025 couples any issues you will get me on the mobile but everything else will be replied to on my return on 14.08.25.

If anyone ever tells you I’m a nosey b*stard…

They would be 100% right 🤣

I LOVE that first part and buzz of arriving on site, meeting everyone, seeing all the dresses, saying hello to the hair and make up team…and of course getting a wee sneaky peak 💕

It’s what I live for!

Huge thanks to for capturing this and to Claire for sending this memory of wee Libby taking it all in…looking at her beautiful Mummy 💕

It was a tad windy for Kimberley and Victorias Lochside wedding on Saturday but it only added to the magic and their amazing journey together. They laughed the whole way through which was simply infectious.

Childhood besties now Wives for Life 💕

Thanks again for choosing me to be part of it with you both. Love like yours makes this world a better place for everyone.

Everyone knows the best wishes are made with your eyes firmly shut ✨

My heart was honestly bursting when Eilidh and Sam’s beautiful flower girls came forward to wish on their wedding rings…one of them reminded me that I had to close my eyes too…and of course she was right 💕

Mr and Mrs Woodcock thank you so much for allowing me to share this here x

Every time I look at this picture all I can think is…who (in Gods name!) let me in there 🤣

Huge thanks to Laura & Dara for asking me to be part of their amazing day. They had the most fabulous childhood story that turned into forever besties and now Husband and Wife!
So beautifully captured by

A huge thanks to Debbie and the Team at The Courier for asking me part of their June Wedding Special.

I won’t lie I’m not the best with these things but it certainly feels an honour to be asked when there are so many other fabulous local celebrants out there.

The wedding special will be out this weekend (7th June) so check it out if you can as it will have loads of great other info on all things Weddings in Fife and Dundee….don’t worry you can just flick past the section with my mug on it! 🙈

44-year-old TJ Thomson has officiated at more than 200 weddings since taking on the new role - including couples in their jammies and a Halloween wedding.

Would you believe it if I told you that my biggest fear at school was reading out loud in front of the rest of the class…

At the time it honestly felt like an actual form of torture that would send me spiralling, so much so I would continually make up an excuse or raise my hand to go to the toilet when I knew it was my turn.

I was asked last week by a (lovely) journalist if being a celebrant came easy to me (and without sounding utterly dramatic) it got me reflecting on my life and the job I do…and I suppose on how far I have come.

In truth I don’t know how I overcame this childhood fear (or if I fully have!) however I do know surrounding myself with people who inspire and encourage me has truly helped…as well as being a tad stubborn to take on the things that might hold me back.

Do I still get the occasional panic…100%
Do I make mistakes…Yup!
Do I give myself a hard time about those mistakes….Every.single.time!
Do I let it stop me…No I don’t.

In short I think I’ve learned I’m far from perfect and even though I might not always get it perfect…I am trying my best and I am good enough.

And I hope if you are reading this that you feel the same way about yourself too 💕
