My first ceremony of 2025โ€ฆ and what a ceremony it was! โ˜†

The most laidback couple Iโ€™ve ever seen, Courtney and Ben have spent the last eleven years having fun, buying new cars, starting their family, and exploring more than just Tenerife! โœˆ๏ธŽ

A personal ceremony, short and sweet, we took a trip down memory lane to reflect on the milestones and moments that had led them to this very one - their wedding! ๐Ÿซถ There were lots of laughs, little cringe and an adorable flower girl! ๐ŸŒธ

Hey there ๐Ÿ‘‹

Itโ€™s been a while since Iโ€™ve done a post about myself, and with some lovely new followersโ€ฆ thank you by the wayโ€ฆ I thought Iโ€™d do an updated introduction ๐Ÿคญ

So hello, Iโ€™m Amy, Amy Reid ๐Ÿซถ

Iโ€™m wife to Jack and dog-mum to Lucy. I got married in 2022, so I know exactly what youโ€™re going through. Iโ€™m a big sister and an auntie. I have the cutest nephew in the world, just saying. I love the colours pink and orange, as you can see. I love ice-cream, chocolate, sweeties and pastries. Iโ€™m usually drinking a vanilla latte, a cuppa tea or something sugar-free and fizzy, so I feel like Iโ€™m having the sugar rush, it helps me to pretend. I buy far too many notebooks, I currently have 11 sitting empty. I love to read but rarely make the time, or have the time, for it. Iโ€™ve watched friends I donโ€™t even know how many times, itโ€™s such an easy watch. Iโ€™m obsessed with Virgin River and Sweet Magnolias. Film wise I love a good romcom. The beach is my happy place, Ballygally beach in particular. Iโ€™m a messy eater. Iโ€™m clumsy. I live in an oodie or sweats. I have a 2:1 degree in Events Management. I went to Sheffield Hallam University from 2012-2016. My uni placement year was in Orlando, I worked in Magic Kingdom Walt Disney World and I adored it. I laugh at my own jokes. I love anything creative or colourful. I love learning, and I am always trying to better myself or improve. Iโ€™m ridiculously competitive, ask my husband. I have had sooo many jobs. Iโ€™ve done sales, hospitality, admin, operationsโ€ฆ but I have seriously landed in career heaven with what I do now! Iโ€™ve been in the wedding industry for several years, planning, writing personalised poetry and helping couples create the wedding of their dreams. I love meeting couples and hearing all about their relationship. It brings me so much joy. And it truly is my absolute HONOUR, to create wedding ceremonies, for the best couples in the whole wide world, and be the reason that they are legally marriedโ€ฆ pinch me!!!!!! ๐Ÿคญ

I think thatโ€™s enough for now. Iโ€™ll not bore you with my rock and roll lifestyle ๐Ÿ˜‚ but if thereโ€™s anything else youโ€™d like to know, please donโ€™t hesitate to ask! My inbox is always open ๐Ÿ’Œ

โœจ MARGARET & ROBERT โœจ

I will forever cherish how *๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—น* family was during this ceremony! The couple had their four daughters as bridesmaids (who later took part in a unity sand ceremony with them), they had their brothers as groomsmen and the bride was es**rted down the aisle with both her father and step-father. It was beautiful ๐Ÿซถโณ

Despite originally meeting in 1995, the love story of Margaret and Robert didnโ€™t actually begin until 2021, long live Facebook eh, and my goodness was it worth the wait!! Together theyโ€™ve enjoyed โ€œgreat little datesโ€ and watching their daughters become great friends, before growing their family with their cute af golden labradoodle! A romantic proposal in the place theyโ€™d later say โ€œI doโ€, a magical few years before a magical start to their future! ๐Ÿ’ซ

โœจ MELISSA & SCOTT โœจ

Let me be frank - I loved this wedding! Everything about it! The couple, their family, their script, their ceremony, everything! ๐Ÿซถ

Melissa told me from the beginning that communication would likely only be with her, and yes, she was right, but oh my goodness did we become friends?! From that very first zoom call, it felt like Iโ€™d known Melissa for years! So much so, that when Melissa came off the call, Scott asked her if we were already friends. We werenโ€™tโ€ฆ until then! ๐Ÿ‘ญ

Their ceremony was the perfect combination of the joy they share in their relationship, and the love they share as a family. We took a trip down memory lane and reminded their guests of everything theyโ€™d enjoyed so far! We started with the night they met outside City Hall at just 15 years of age, and journeyed through the chapters of their love story theyโ€™d already written. Like Melissaโ€™s formal, trips away, baby number one (who read a beautiful poem in his mummy and daddyโ€™s ceremony), health scares, new jobs, a proposal, a mortgage, baby number two (who ran up and down the aisle in his mummy and daddyโ€™s ceremony lol) and defrosting the freezer three days before the weddingโ€ฆ goodness me! ๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ˜…

SOโ€ฆ one of the biggest perks of a humanist wedding ceremony, especially with myself, is the freedom you have to include lots of lovely things! Some of these things, are called โ€œspecial elementsโ€ โœจ

In short, they are moments or rituals you create within your ceremony, that take place at different stages. Some include you two, some include your guests, some include alcohol, and some you can take home with you ๐Ÿ™Œ

Theyโ€™re passed around during your ceremony while guests make a silent wish/blessing/prayer for your marriage. When you exchange rings, you have all of this behind you and guests have played a part! ๐Ÿ’ซ
๐—ก๐—ข๐—ง๐—˜: A lovely way of involving all your guests at once, but depends on how many youโ€™re having. If too many, some guests wonโ€™t get a turn and youโ€™ll be the worst in the world! In this case, limit the people included or do it as they arrive!

๐—›๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ณ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด: An ancient celtic tradition that created the term โ€œtying the knotโ€.

๐—ก๐—ข๐—ง๐—˜: Your ribbon can be passed down in generations or become a friend/family memberโ€™s something borrowed in years to come!

๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜: We leave a bottle of bubbly chilling in an ice bucket during your ceremony. When youโ€™ve signed the register, one of you pops the bottle and pours you both a glass. You toast to your wedding day, your guests, your marriage and YOU! ๐Ÿฅ‚
๐—ก๐—ข๐—ง๐—˜: It doesnโ€™t have to be champagne. It can be whiskey, tequila, beer, a teapot, anything!

I cannot believe Iโ€™m only posting about this nowโ€ฆ What a beautiful summer ceremony this was for a couple so in love. First they were parents and then they were Mr and Mrs ๐Ÿซถ

We journeyed through their relationship, two adrenaline junkies, taking them and their guests, on a trip down memory laneโ€ฆ remembering their favourite pub back in the day, nights in the hot-tub, gigs theyโ€™ve attended, their love of rollercoasters, their fur babies and the very annoying 6am daily alarmโ€ฆ then we wrapped things up with a bottle of bubbly in a prosecco toast! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅ‚

Oh my goodnessโ€ฆ I cannot tell you how much fun this was!

Firstly, how gorgeous are this couple? Secondly, theyโ€™re two of the kindest and nicest souls Iโ€™ve ever met! Honestly! ๐Ÿค

After getting legally wed in Viva Las Vegas, Deimante and Gareth wanted an intimate home ceremony that was personal, fun and a great day out for everyoneโ€ฆ so that was what they got! ๐Ÿฅณ

We took a trip down memory lane, to reflect upon the eleven years theyโ€™d already shared together. From drylining to bin jenga. From badly brushed floors to throwing tennis balls down the stairs for an active puppy. From a proposal in Greece to a wedding in Vegas. We had it all. And since their wonderful love story started in a bar, we concluded their ceremony with a gorgeous champagne toastโ€ฆ There were cheers all round! ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿพ

And what a lovely wee team to make it happen:

If Iโ€™m lucky enough to be your celebrant, I promise, I will do everything in my power to make the process as seamless and enjoyable as I possibly can for you both!

โœจ THE MCALLISTERS โœจ

Rebecca and Craig, where do I even start?

Together for 11 years, they dreamed of a ceremony filled with laughter, fun and the love theyโ€™d shared throughout their relationship โ€ฆ so thatโ€™s exactly what they got! ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›

There was a special mention for the bride herself, for all the wedding planning she did single-handedly! There were two gorgeous readings, one by Craigโ€™s mum and one by Rebeccaโ€™s granda. There was a beautiful handfasting with 6 ribbons, a different colour chosen by each member of the wedding party. There was some gorgeous music by the wonderful . And there were lots of laughs and tears! ๐Ÿซถ

It was an absolute pleasure to write Rebecca and Craigโ€™s ceremony script, and conduct their wedding ceremony. And I was joined, by some very wonderful suppliers, in bringing their ceremony vision to life:

โœจ THE AISLE WALK โœจ

As a bride, it goes without saying, this is one of the biggest โ€œclichesโ€ or โ€œtraditionalโ€ parts of a wedding... Your dad walks you down the aisle, to your lovely partner, then goes back to his seat, to watch his little girl get married, like the proud dad that he isโ€ฆ๐Ÿคต๐Ÿป

Well. Iโ€™m here to tell you, this isnโ€™t always the case. For an array of reasons!

My Uncle walked me down the aisle on my wedding day, and it was one of my favourite moments so far. I think it was one of his too. He was proud of punch to have the honour, and I was proud as punch to have him there. It was something we shared, that we can always remember and cherish. ๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿค›

So donโ€™t worry if you donโ€™t fall into the typical โ€œfather-daughterโ€ box. That doesnโ€™t have to happen just because itโ€™s deemed โ€œnormalโ€. Whatโ€™s โ€œnormalโ€ anyway? ๐Ÿง

This is me, granting you the right to have WHOEVER you choose to โ€œgive you awayโ€ or es**rt you down the aisle. You can have a parent, a step-parent, a sibling, a grandparent, an aunt, uncle, cousin, child, a boss, a work colleague, a friend, a best friend, a neighbour, a pet, a random selection from your guest listโ€ฆ anyoneโ€ฆ Iโ€™ll happily es**rt you if you like too! Or you can strut down the aisle like an independent woman if youโ€™d prefer. Itโ€™s YOUR day! ๐Ÿฅฐ

Always remember, you are marrying the person you are CHOOSING to start a family with. Thatโ€™s the most important bit! Whatโ€™s happened before this point doesnโ€™t have to hurt on your wedding day. You donโ€™t need to feel an absence or shame or guilt or anything negative about your aisle walk, I promise. It is such a precious moment that you deserve to feel all the love and support in the world, so choose wisely. And donโ€™t feel like you have to choose a person because itโ€™s what society has told you, have who YOU would like! ๐Ÿ‘ฐ๐Ÿผ

Soโ€ฆ whoโ€™s joining *you* on your last unmarried walk?
Feel free to share it belowโ€ฆ you might just help someone.
