🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 MEG & CHRIS' EPIC ST ANDREWS WEDDING 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

One of my final weddings this year, and I was really up for this one. Why?

📖 Meg & Chris are just the loveliest couple, with such a brilliant story!

🖋️ I got to complete the legal bit for them as an Accredited Humanist UK Celebrant! Scotland, you’ve got it sorted. UK government – it's high time to get your act together for England and Wales!

💃 There was a ceilidh! I dusted off my moves (and OFC packed the paracetamol).

👔 Mrs B and me were guests too! A double whammy of work and play.

So off we went, bag packed including my...

📜 Script full of all the feels, big laughs, and high points.

👖 Suit for the ceremony, evening wear for the dance floor.

👟 Comfy shoes – because blokes deserve blister-free feet too.

📄 Approval letter and Humanists UK memo – because Scotland understands how to do this properly.

🤍💍WE DID A THING! 💍🤍
27.06.2024 REBECCA & PAUL (EEEKS - ME!!!)

Usually, I write posts about all the wonderful couples I've worked with to create a unique, beautiful humanist wedding ceremony... But this time, for Rebecca and myself, well, it was our turn! 💍

Very few people were in the know about 'Project 2706,' but I had let the secret slip with my past and present brides and grooms.

And so, this week it was our turn and I truly did walk in your shoes and loved every last bit of it!

I also learned a SO MUCH more about the experience of planning it all, the practical challenges, the nervous excitement, and the emotional rollercoaster you go on!

We've also put together a little series of 'video diary' style reels of our experiences - and in our case what it's like to find love second time around - which I aim to share over the next few weeks. 📹✨

But right now, we're in our own little love bubble as we take off for a few days on a short 'minimoon'.

💫 The out of office is on, and I'll be back later next week to get on with the serious business of having fun putting together the next few amazing weddings for my totally lush couples.

Last but not least, a huge shout-out to our amazing supplier team who helped to make our day completely magical (full list below)

🫶🏼 I’m super chuffed that I’ve had quite a few folk who have recently started following me. A huge thank you to you all!*

👋🏻 I think it’s only right and proper that I introduce myself properly, so here are a few fun / interesting / not so interesting / downright dorky facts about me:

🗣️I won a public speaking competition when I was 14 and the prize was elocution lessons. Worst experience of my life. Also didn’t work.

👱 I had permed hair and a mullet when I was 19 (stop sniggering at the back).

🪄I used to work for Disney and spent 15 years ‘married to the mouse’.

🐯 I once, ahem, ‘helped’ Tigger to do a meet and greet at Disney World. And yes, he is is real.

💍 I’m getting married myself this year to the gorgeous ! So going through the whole ‘wedmin’ thang myself.

🙈 I say things like ‘super chuffed’ now and again . And the occasional ‘lush’. But draw the line at “totes amazeballs”.
Not in wedding scripts though, that would just be silly.

💫 Thanks again for following me and I hope you enjoy the various wedding celebrant related shenanigans I get up to 💍

*not including Pneumatic Pam from Costa Rica, who followed me and sent a DM saying “hi, sexy bum”.
I see you Pam, you’re a cat fishing bot and you’re blocked.

🎄✨ It was such a magical setting at Runa Farm for Laura and Tom's love-filled Christmas wedding complete with twinkling lights, festive decorations and a whole lot of love in the air.

❤️ The little ones really stole the show though, with their adorable readings to their mum and dad melting everyone's hearts. A celebrant wedding is the perfect way to involve those you love and their words were simply beautiful. Cue a collective... "aaaahhh"!

🥰 And how sweet it was to have them help with the handfasting ceremony for their wonderful mum and dad. They were absolute stars and did a great job helping them tie the knot!

🌟✨ Laura and Tom's story is a true testament to love, resilience, and the beauty of family. The whole room was supercharged with emotion listening to their epic story and you could literally feel the immense love for them from all their family and friends. There were more than a few big laughs along the way too!

Here's to a lifetime of love, laughter, and happy memories for the newlyweds! 🥂💍

💫 Today I was at beautiful Beamish Hall for a wedding fair organised by the brilliant , and it was buzzing with loads of amazing suppliers, all eager to showcase their talents and help create the wedding of dreams for lovely couples.

✨ From stunning photographers to gorgeous floral arrangements, cake makers, stationers and of course celebrants like me there was something to inspire every soon-to-be-wed pair.

👰🤵‍♂️ I loved meeting so many wonderful couples who were bursting with excitement about their big day. We chatted about their wedding plans, their visions, and how I could contribute to making their ceremony truly unforgettable. It was fab to connect with them and hear their love stories! 💕

🤗 Thank you to all the amazing couples who followed me on Instagram today and are considering booking me for their special day. I can't wait to bring your wedding visions to life!

🤍💫 Today, I had the absolute privilege of helping Lisa and Gary celebrate an incredible milestone by leading their vow renewal ceremony in their home town of Hull!
They've reached a remarkable 23 years of togetherness, with nearly two decades of marriage under their belts. 💍💖

To prove their compatibility before retaking their vows, they played a hilarious game of Mr. & Mrs! 🕺💃 Cue plenty of laughter and friendly competition!

Lisa and Gary are the epitome of a special couple. 💑 They've weathered storms together, faced challenges head-on, and emerged stronger each time. It's incredible how they find humour even in the toughest situations.

Like when Gary woke up from a coma following a health scare, Lisa looked him straight in the eye and said, "Do that again, and I'll bloody kill you myself!" Talk about a wicked sense of humour!

Lisa and Gary, you inspire us all with your unwavering love, resilience, and ability to see the lighter side of life. You remind us that laughter truly is the best medicine, even during the toughest times. ❤️

Thank you for having me as part of your special day, and here's to many more years filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable adventures.

Cheers, you two! ✨
