‘Tempting to say little in front of of the crowd’

It’s been a beat since this wedding (happy anniversary Craig and Sophie ) and for a couple that stewed the thought of being centre stage and having to speak - they did a grand job!

As you can see, though working with me, building trust, understanding and a feeling of safety and being held, these two had a thoroughly wonderful ceremony and day!

Taking time to curate their crack team was also key in enabling them to feel safe, secure and happy enough to be relaxed and have a brilliant day! So shout out to them too!

16 years ago today, we, very loudly, with 420 people in the church, said ‘I DO!’

When people asked us ‘what the theme of the wedding?’ I found that a really odd question because I was like… ‘umm, marriage?!’ But as we went further into wedding planning we realised the question should have been ‘what are your values?’

‘Community and family’ would have been our answer. It still is! We got married in the church my family church at the time and as capacity wasn’t an issue we just had an open invite!

I was a theatre manager, so all my staff came (apart from the ones on Saturday matinee duty!) , Joe was heavily involved in Kew and Ham football club, so they all came, plus both our large families and network of Friends , plus anyone our parents wanted to share the day with, as well as all the choir, and bells and every vicar I grew up with.

We sang Jerusalem , with full organ and a trumpet - and the sounds was epic! The church bells ‘fired’ and the choir belted . The sound was awesome! My Mum made the wedding cake, traditional style , which we can’t and shared in the church yard , and my ushers made 76 cheese cakes for pudding!

In the evening we down sized to 76 people and the wedding band… well that was my now Father In law brother in law cousin in law , the drummer from the bootleg Beatles - Colin, and now cousin in law .lejeune and the lead singer …
My now husband Joe!

There was also so many more ways our friends and family contributed to our day .

We wanted to bring people together , for a joyful occasion, for love, music, dancing and fellowship . 15 years on we still live by these values. We have a jukebox box in the kitchen, a fantastic community where we live now in guildford and still the best family and friends

We truely live a life by design and we absolutely love each other so deeply. I’m so so grateful to everyone in our life. We hope our marriage makes you happy as much as it does us!

Chat GPT went down … did it? So what!

From the first talk of marriage to a final farewell of a love that lasted a life time , ‘life’ happens . ‘Messy’ happens. It’s often said that it’s not the destination but the journey - and with life happening at such a pace, you’d be forgiven when you realise you skipped the journey because it had always been about getting what you needed to get done - done - and doing what you needed to do in the quickest and most efficient way possible ….

But what sort of story (be it love, life, or legacy) is that?

I’m an excellent celebrant because I’ve done, and continue to do THE Journey and the work. I’ve walked the walk, talked the talk, agonised over a script, incubated a story until I felt it was ready to come out of my head onto paper . I’m excellent BECAUSE I’ve been practicing my craft for the last 12 years and am in my 13th year as a celebrant .

Yes, AI is here and it can be an incredible tool to support me - but it’s a tool - not an answer or a safety net, or the back bone to my business . It went down. I didn’t really blink an eye lid. It’s given me the evidence I needed that I am and always have been the centre of my work, and the core of what I do is my OWN emotional journey, life, mess, intelligence and expertise .

So if you want know for sure you are in safe hands … welcome ! Here are mine!

Get in touch for your ceremony, your mentoring or celebrant supervision, or you swan song as you get your self to a place of peace.

It’s true - wedding planning will pull you in all sorts of directions. People will have their say and share their opinions, and you will have moments of self doubt …

So having a venue that absolutely is the 👌🏽 and a team of suppliers around you that the venue also trust, know and like, makes the whole thing a lot more lovely

Many of my couples are international, sometimes booking a venue solely on the trust of their gut, the feel they get when talking with the staff, and judging it by the company they keep (their recommended suppliers) . This may sound crazy but I’m no stranger to a blind booking.

Now in my 13th year with many awards under my belt along training and supervising the next wave of celebrants, I’ve built up a powerful and wonderful professional reputation .

Having the right place with the right people around you makes all the difference!

You’re not really going to leave the heart of the day, the point of the day, the actually WEDDING itself in the hands of a stranger , having had no rehearsal and have no idea what to say when are you ?? Are you?!? Do not do it to yourself!! The wedding itself IS WORTH more!

I’m here for them. I’ll be here for you . Time zones, shift work, Sundays … what ever you need .

This rehearsal ended with me giving the couple a lift to the wine shop to get their bar stocked up!

‘I wish to ask for your hand in marriage’
‘May I ask for your hand’
‘Take my hand’.
‘I give you my hand’
‘I’ll give you my hand in marriage’

We don’t really talk about the hand anymore do we? Well, not in the culture I’m part of - and thankfully a lot of us are part of- it’s not about a trade and a handshake with a coin being put into the in palm of a man . It’s also a lot less about permission and more about asking for a blessing these days. It’s not a handshake sort of a deal anymore.
‘Trade’ aside , the ‘hand’ was asked for because we didn’t use to have rings, and you were joined in a hand binding.

All that as history, now I see the joining of hands as the ‘bare vulnerable truth’ of each other. Holding hands and exchanging rings, to me, feels so much more personal and meaningful.

I also like that it’s a question. It’s a WILL you marry me question , and not just a demand ; ‘marry me’ or ‘take my hand’ . To be asked and to be able to answer freely, willingly and excitedly is soooooo much better don’t you think!

So;
Remember you are asking
Remember you are hoping
Remember you are putting yourself in a vulnerable positions for the possibility of rejection
Remember that to be asked is a big brave question

It’s more than your hand. It’s your heart, your hope, and your future . It should be a bare-naked wonderful thing!

What do you think? Would you expect to be asked ‘for your hand’ in marriage anymore? I think hand holding is one of the best things in the world.

Some ‘hand’ Inspo for you 👌🏽
