Amy Lawson Humanist Celebrant

Amy Lawson Humanist Celebrant I am a fully qualified and disclosure checked Humanist Celebrant available to conduct Humanist Weddi
(7)

Friends would describe Amy as a vibrant, warm and compassionate person. She is always looking out for others and she has had a fascinating career to date. From the early days as a budding actress, performing in many different forms, to being an advocate for others within the Criminal Justice system after completing an honours degree in Criminology. Being able to understand people and learning from

them what their desires and wants are in life is a skill that motivates Amy when working. Her career, whilst varied, has always held the same running theme, helping others feel good and helping them make the most out of life, which is why the humanist philosophy sits so well with Amy. For her it’s about seeking and creating happiness in life and being compassionate and empathetic towards others. Her favourite quote is by Maya Angelou which is “try to be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud” and that is a great way to describe Amy! Becoming a celebrant was a natural step for Amy as she gets the opportunity to work with so many different people and feels incredibly honoured to be invited to help them create a unique personal and bespoke ceremony for their celebration whether that be for a wedding or a funeral. Amy said “After attending lots of friends humanist ceremonies, I was always captivated by how memorable they were. I remember always feeling involved in the story being told and feeling a deep sense of joy throughout the ceremony. And that is magical”

When not busy working, she loves being with her husband and two young children making lots of memories and being constantly reminded of just how hilarious little people can be! Amy is available to conduct wedding ceremonies, vow renewals and funerals in Fife, Perthshire, Tayside & Edinburgh.

Mr and Mrs McKinnes 🥰 on Friday the 14th of October I was honoured to conduct the marriage of one of my closest friends lovely little sister! Rosie and Robert held their beautiful day and they filled their ceremony with one of my favourite readings, The Giraffe and the Monkey by Daniel Thompson.

W O W is all I really can say about the simply jaw dropping setting that was for Craig and Gemma’s special day and it was such a fun day! Gemma’s school kids had shared their thoughts on love and marriage and I had the honour of delivering their responses to the guests and how magical and insightful they were! I especially liked their response to What Should married couples do? DANCE and go on HOLIDAYS 💃🏼🏖 I think we should all subscribe to that outlook on life! Congratulations again to Mr and Mrs Gunderson!

What a scorcher 🌞of a day Mr and Mrs Kerr had on Saturday for their wedding day!!
This delightful pair FINALLY had their special day 4th time around, due to the pandemic and it was emotional 🥲

It was such a gorgeous moment when they saw each other at the top of the aisle and there were definitely happy tears being shed!

They lit a special candle to remember their loved ones and after sharing some of their adventures I was overjoyed to unite this happy pair as Mr and Mrs Kerr!

Introducing the Gordon’s ❤️ who were married in Edinburgh last week on a beautiful clear sunny day! Their gorgeous daughter made the most amazing entrance as she gleefully tipped out her whole basket of rose petals onto the aisle when she reached the top and then took great delight in showering herself in them as her mummy walked up the aisle☺️ After lighting their unity candle together they exchanged their vows and set off down the aisle to enjoy the rooftop terrace and it’s stunning views.

Mr and Mrs McCallion 🥰

Claire and David finally said their I Do’s at the incredible on Saturday and what a lush day it was! Family and friends are so important to this delightful pair and they thoughtfully personalised their ceremony by including their nearest and dearest in their day. From having their close friends deliver gorgeous readings, to the brides brother generously filling their quaich with spiced gin. Claire’s little brother even entertained the guests by singing and playing the guitar whilst they signed the register. All of these little touches and more were their way of expressing just how much everyone means to them and it was such a joy to send the newlyweds off down the aisle with the biggest smiles on their faces!

Mr and Mrs Barker!! Established 02/04/22 ❤️

What a happy, happy and somewhat magical day last Saturday was for Eilidh and Calum!

Calum’s hugely talented siblings performed a song written by Calum’s mum, which was the most stunning and special way to welcome Eilidh down the aisle to her groom.

After telling their funny and adventurous tale, they exchanged their heartfelt personal vows before setting off as Mr and Mrs Barker down the aisle, to be hilariously surprised to hear their guests serenade them along to the Italian song! A very well executed plan orchestrated by their parents!

Another delightfully happy day for a lovely couple!

Superb working alongside the brilliant as well!

“It’s a funny old thing isn’t it”

I remember saying this phrase a LOT just after I lost my brother at the end of 2019. When people asked how I was doing I would reply “Oh yes…Och you know…I’m getting there, it’s a funny old thing isn’t it!”

It was my best friend that pointed out to me that I kept saying that same line and knowing me as she does, she knew that this was my way of struggling to put into words how utterly bereft I was feeling,how I couldn’t possibly string together a fathomable sentence to convey how I was actually feeling. Instead my brain had constructed this same safety line which was my go to response when people asked how things were.

When we lose someone we love, we don’t know how the grieving journey will go. And everyone’s experience is different. What I learned from my own experience was that there are no expectations as to when you should complete your grieving process because of course grief never leaves you, you just adapt and begin to live with it as that extra c***k in your armour.

Regardless of the time since your loved one passed it still aches when life surprises us with little reminders of them. Whether that be a song on the radio, a movie they loved, a smell of their favourite perfume! And these are ok!! In the early days I would get annoyed at myself for getting upset if I saw someone who looked like my brother or if I heard that old familiar laugh he had. But now when these little moments arise, I allow myself to have a little cry, or feel that swell in my chest or lump in my throat because these little reminders are exactly that- little moments of reflection, where happy memories you shared are recalled and that’s my way of keeping him around me.❤️

“Grief is like the ocean; it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim.” – Vicki Harrison
