I can confirm that I made it out of my 2026 peak season alive! 🤣

A huge thanks to all of my couples who have entrusted me with your ceremonies and days.

I will treasure the memories forever ♥️

I will now be taking a few weeks off before I gear myself up again for my fabulous Sept-Dec couples.

I’m off to pour myself a glass of well deserved wine!

There will always be days when we question what we do and whether all the hard graft is really worth it. That comes with the territory!

Then you read notes like these and it reminds you just how important this job actually is.

Because being a celebrant isn’t just about legally marrying two people.

It’s not just about telling their story, making their guests laugh, cry and hopefully giving everyone a little insight into what makes them who they are as a couple.

It’s about the process.

The conversations, the questions, the memories, the little things they might have forgotten about and all the reasons they love each other.

It gives them time to stop amongst all the madness of planning a wedding and actually think about THEM.

Their relationship. Their journey. What they mean to each other and why they have chosen to take this really important step together.

Of course the wedding day is a huge part of it. The excitement, the outfits, the flowers, the music, the party and all the other wonderful things that come with it.

But underneath all of that are two people making a promise to each other.

And that is the bit I think we sometimes forget…

The ceremony gives them a moment to pause and remember exactly what they are there to celebrate.

So when I get a note like this from a couple telling me that the process helped them remember what is important, brought them back to their relationship and made them feel ready to take that next step together…

That’s when I remember that all those hours of questions, conversations, writing, rewriting and probably far too much thinking about two people I have become completely invested in…are worth every single minute ♥️

Yes, I know I always say, “This is my favourite bit” about pretty much everything I do…but I really do love this part.

Those few moments before the aisle walk, when I get to see you and your wedding party in all your glory are so special.

The excitement, the nerves, the anticipation…every emotion is right there, and I absolutely love being part of it.

I’ve learned that every person needs something different from me in this moment. Sometimes it’s a hug, a tissue, or a bit of reassurance. Sometimes it’s a pep talk and a wee bit of direction. And sometimes it’s simply standing beside you, making eye contact, and letting you know…you’ve got this. ♥️

As you can see my gorgeous bride Dawn was an absolute vision, and she owned that aisle moment from the very first step.

Huge thanks to the very talented for sending this clip over. I’ve no idea what I’m saying or doing…but I’m sure it was very insightful 🤣

Abbey + Ronan first met when Abbey attended a group interview for a position at Pets at Home…

Ronan was obsessed with her (and her gorgeous hair!) from the first time he set his eyes on her…which made trying to train her rather difficult!

Overnight they became hard and fast “friends” even though everyone around them suspected differently, including their manager who made a classic comment about when she should buy a hat for their wedding!

Then the moment came when, chatting one night when a shooting star crossed the sky…both telling me in that very moment they knew that they had found their forever person in each other ♥️

Their guests tears and laughter filled the grand hall at Crossbasket Castle as stories of their first date at KFC were shared, and even more so when tales of when they moved into their first home in Thankerton and decided the first thing they would buy was not a couch or kitchen utensils…but a puppy! (Always a stellar choice IMO!)

The Scottish weather had us suppliers playing musical chairs, and I swear I have never moved quicker into an aisle when Abbey’s stunning dress and veil nearly went alight during their exit! Don’t worry, I was like a Ninja as I did a combat crawl across the floor…and thankfully made it out the way in time for that stunning dip picture 😅

Abbey and Ronan, you pair certainly kept me on my toes throughout! Your love and respect for each other made my celebrant soul smile. Thanks again for choosing me to be part of it all with both.

I know today can feel massive.

I actually loved school (definitely a social butterfly!) but I was always convinced I wasn’t as clever as everyone else. Getting my Highers was a struggle, but I scraped by and secured my place at Edinburgh University.

Then came my first assignment. No grade.
Just… “See me.” 🙈 My lecturer was brilliant. He told me it was obvious I had dyslexia and needed support.

This was the late 90s and, if I’m honest, I was embarrassed. I told no one and just struggled on. Then placements started and everything changed.

Working with people came naturally to me. My placement reports told a very different story to my grades and, three weeks after graduating, I had a full time job with one of the organisations I’d been placed with.

I loved new projects and always said yes to pilots. My work took me into some of the most deprived areas across Scotland and around the world, delivering sexual health, domestic abuse and exploitation work. Looking back, that’s where I really learned my craft. Not from books, but from the people who trusted me with their stories. They shaped who I am today and somewhere along the way I was even headhunted and offered a fully funded PhD at St Andrews!? 🤯

I remember one mentor saying, “TJ, you’re a starter.”

He said I was great at seeing the vision, getting things going and knowing where they could end up, but once things settled, I’d already be looking for the next challenge. I was mortified!

Getting diagnosed with ADHD earlier this year has made a lot of things make sense. Imposter syndrome at its finest…and I know I’m not alone around here in that. Fast forward to now…

Very few of my qualifications are directly relevant to what I do today. But every person I’ve met and every experience I’ve had absolutely is.

So yes, results matter. Of course they do…
but they’re only one path. If today has gone as you hoped, enjoy it.

If it hasn’t, let yourself feel it. Then pick yourself up and keep going.

And if you’re a parent or carer sitting beside someone devastated today, remind them that results don’t get to decide the rest of their life.

They might shape your next step….but they don’t define your future ♥️

Pippa… the god damn cutest ring bearer I have ever seen in my life! 💍

She waggled her wee bum down that aisle like she was carrying the Crown Jewels. She took her job very seriously getting them to get Mummy and Daddy (Katie & Malcolm) and she absolutely nailed it.

Yes, she nearly went home in my bag! just check out that strut! 🤣

Handfasting…

Is still one of the ceremony rituals that I’m asked most about.

There are lots of different knots and styles, all with their own meanings, but my absolute favourite will always be the infinity knot.

It symbolises an everlasting bond and I relish the fact that once your ceremony is over, it can be cut down and boxed as a keepsake from your wedding day.

Within my ceremonies, I usually include the handfasting after the declarations and before the couple exchange their vows. I love the symbolism of physically binding hands before they make their promises to one another.

Every ceremony is unique though, so the order can always be adapted to suit your story. If you’re including children in a family handfasting, for example, we’ll choose the point in the ceremony that feels most meaningful, with the knot adapted to include everyone taking part.

If you’re choosing an Infinity Knot, these are the dimensions I always recommend:

♾️ 2 ties
♾️ 1.2 metres long
♾️ Double-sided ribbon or fabric
♾️ Around 1.5 inches wide

If you’re worried about getting it wrong, don’t…that’s what your celebrant is there for! They will guide you every step of the way, so all you need to do is relax your hand and pull the end when they tell you to.

Don’t get me wrong…every now and then the knot has other ideas 😂 It happens, and it’s all part of the fun. We can usually work our magic without ever releasing the knot, and those little unexpected moments often become the favourite ones everyone remembers!

I honestly never get tired of seeing an Infinity Knot come together. Every single one tells its own little love story.

P.S. A wee tip from me…The Infinity Knot doesn’t have to be tartan. The one in the clip has been tied using double-sided tartan fabric, which is why it looks like this.

If you do choose another fabric or ribbon, your finished knot will look slightly different, so it’s worth keeping that in mind when choosing your handfasting ties.

If there was ever a Netflix’s documentary about my celebrant life: “I’ve got a GREAT idea… I’ll stand on the swing behind you both”

After nearly 35 years of friendship, Lynne expected nothing less. After 20 years of knowing Matt, he just encouraged me!

Peak season is clearly having an impact. 100% do not recommend. I actually looked even worse trying to get back down again. 🙈

And before anyone asks, no wine was consumed.

Future couples, please note I will NOT be doing this at your wedding! 🤣
