For those of you who don’t know me you’ll probably notice from my posts that my appearance has changed dramatically. In the last two and a half years. I came down very suddenly with a rare auto immune disease and put on 3½ stone very quickly from a high dose of steroids. After a few months the steroids were finally reduced and after a year at Slimming World I’ve now lost more than 3 stone so am nearly back to looking how I was! It’s all been very strange but it’s still me!😊

Hello everyone! Handfasting ribbons galore! Each couple can choose different ribbons to represents different qualities they want to bring to their marriage eg love, passion, spirituality and many more.

One of my fave ever couples was Briony and Vinno. Their wedding ceremony took place in the magical glade in Scraptoft Hill Farm, and Briony’s father escorted her in with a little dog under his arm!

This is my wonderful broom for the Jumping the Broom ritual that can come either at the end of a handfasting ceremony or a wedding ceremony. The broom tradition is said to have originated amongst Roma people in Wales, and it was also the wedding ceremony for some African American slaves.
Jumping the broom is said to symbolise a new beginning, whilst sweeping away the past. It is also said to signify two families becoming one. After completing their wedding promises the couple quite literally jump into their new life together, leaving any old uncertainties behind!

Happy Monday!
What’s the one thing I can’t do without?
Well it’s my IPad! And I’m so excited as I’ve just got a new one!😀
And I can’t show you it as I’ve just taken this photo on it and I’m writing this on it at this very moment🤣🤣🤣

No question of it, my absolutely favourite symbolic ceremony is a Handfasting!
Whether it be a full blown pagan Handfasting ceremony or a simple handtying as part of a more traditional wedding ceremony, I love the beautiful act of tying the couples hands together whilst the traditional promises, both intimate and spiritual, are spoken❤️

Can’t believe it’s 9 years since I trained as a celebrant and I’vebeen so lucky to work with so many wonderful couples to help make their wedding special!
I’ve particularly loved doing creative ceremonies in fields, woods, gardens and barns.
A couple of years ago I suddenly lost my mobility but I got a fab off road wheelchair and last summer was my first season of being a celebrant on wheels!👩🏼‍🦼😀

Can't believe it's nearly three weeks since I've been back from the sea & sunshine! 😀 (& the nasty bug I caught!☹) All well now & ready to get on with fantastic outdoor weddings & handfastings!😀💕💕

OMG! My last ceremony of this year was with Ria & Dom, the most gorgeous couple who finally got to have their wedding after having had to postpone it. 
And absolutely wonderful it was, with a Chinese Double Happiness sign hanging from the Wedding Triangle, and a Unity Candle ceremony.  
What a joy it was to be their celebrant! And here’s what they said:
‘ Evelyn conducted a wonderful ceremony for our tipi wedding. It was very personal to us both, and that came across to all our guests- there wasn’t a dry eye in the house! 
During the preparation she provided some really good tips for writing our own promises to one another, which really helped us get going. 
The ceremony was everything we’d hoped for and we received some fantastic feedback from the guests, including that they absolutely loved ‘our story’ which was delivered by Evelyn before we spoke our promises. 
The ceremony couldn’t have been more special, and really set the tone for an absolutely fantastic day!

Memories of Katy & Danny’s amazing summer handfasting ceremony at Hankin Farm in Derbyshire. After a procession up the field to the ceremony circle under an oak tree, the directions were called and Katy & Danny spoke of their first meeting & of their love, lit the handfasting candle, made their promises and their hands were tied. Rose quartz was handed out followed by a procession down to the fire where everyone threw offerings of herbs from the couple’s garden into the fire. An incredible personal, creative and meaningful nature based ceremony🙏😀❤️

What a wonderful r***e from my favourite 'boys'! 😃Such a fantastic ceremony, it was an absolute joy to work with them!❤

"After a rough start to our wedding planning, with a less than kind Registrar, we decided to look for a celebrant and found Evelyn. She was so kind, excited and helpful with planning our ceremony, and was so thoughtful and encouraging helping us find the words and items we wanted to include in our celebration. Evelyns patience was endless as she delt with our stresses and worries, and helped us right through to the very end.
If you want a beautifully personal and no stress ceremony, Evelyn will be sure to impress and make your special day, that much more special.

Thank you, Evelyn, you are amazing and we couldn't have hoped for a better start to our life together.  Lots of Love Ryan and Gavin"

I'm a bit late posting this but absolutely delighted with this fab testimonial from such a gorgeous couple!😀

'Ev created a wonderful hand fasting ceremony for us that captured the fun and joy we have shared in our relationship and brought new meaning to the commitment we have to each other.
Our family and friends were enchanted by the meaning and detail of the ceremony and it was an all together ‘perfect day’!

So lovely!💕

"Now our children have the same rights (as other families) and they will be able to have, we hope, a better future," one of the grooms said.

Heartwarming ❤

The couple were filmed laughing and smiling as someone replaced the bride’s helmet with a white veil near a checkpoint in Kyiv.
