Everybody is fantastically unique and everybody deserves to have their major life events celebrated in a way that is entirely personal, joyous, heartfelt and momentous. For me, this is the very essence of Humanism. Making the most of the one life we have, seeking to understand the world through logic, reason, and evidence, and treating those around us with warmth, understanding and respect. Whethe

r it is the joyous celebration of a marriage, the loving remembrance of a life well lived, the festivity of welcoming a new life or the re-affirmation of a couple’s special commitment to one another, I will work directly with you to share your unique story and create a heart-warming and truly memorable occasion in exactly the way you wish. Throughout my previous 20 years in the world of estate agency, I loved learning all about my clients, building close relationships with them, being the steadying hand that guided them through times of stress and providing the best experience possible for them. These professional skills, combined with an outgoing personality and a lively sense of humour, made becoming a Humanist Celebrant a natural choice for me. After having attended Humanist ceremonies, and particularly the wedding of my own daughter, I realised that becoming a Humanist Celebrant would be one of the most rewarding roles I would ever undertake. To be a part of people’s most momentous life events is an honour, and to be able to create and deliver a celebration which is entirely fitting and unique is an absolute privilege. This role enables me to combine my professional approach with a genuine enthusiasm for getting to know people and learning about their amazing lives. When I’m not up to my elbows in a varied range of crafts, I can be found dragging my husband of 33 years on adventures around the country in my campervan, throwing myself into freezing cold water in the hope that it will let me live forever, or laughing like a drain with friends and family.

This morning I helped a family say goodbye to their much-loved Mum and Gran. Christina Paterson was so proud of her two sons, and today they gave her a beautiful send off. Her strength and her compassion will live on through them. Many thanks to Craig and his team at Co-op Funeralcare and the staff at Grandsable Cemetery.

Today I had the honour of helping a lovely family say goodbye to their much-loved wife, mother, gran and great-gran. Alice Brand was a brave and special lady who touched many lives with her love and friendship. Her passing has given her freedom from the suffering that dulled her shine, and now her memory can shine as brilliantly as she did. Many thanks to Dunmar House Hotel, the staff at Sunnyside Cemetery and tol Lorna and her team at Fosters Funeral Directors for their care and professionalism.

It was a privilege to help the family of Barbara Nimmo say goodbye today. Babs was a much-loved lady who got through the tougher times with her great sense of humour, strength and refreshing honesty. We shared many lovely memories today and everybody left with a smile on their faces as Always Look On The Bright Side of Life played us out. Many thanks to Lorna and her team at Fosters Funeral Directors and the staff at Stirlingshire Crematorium.

Saturday was simply lovely in every way! ❤️ The sun came out and shone for Nicola and Sean as they made their vows under a magnificent tree in the grounds of Houston House. It was a perfect gathering with so much love, a brilliant chocolate ceremony, and the odd gust of wind here and there. Many congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Bradley Martin. It was also a huge pleasure to work with and Charlotte at Houston House Hotel.

You just know when some wedding ceremonies are going to be an absolute hoot, and Amy and Jock's celebration at Custom House in Leith on Saturday did not let me down. May the new Mr and Mrs Mackay have a lifetime of more laughter ahead of them. ❤️

I really love being a Celebrant and being able to share such a special day with my couples. What I love even more though are the hours spent getting to know them and their unique stories, and learning what makes them happiest. Not only does this enable me to create a ceremony which is entirely personal to them, it means I become emotionally invested in their celebration too. I just love my wedding peeps! 😁🥰

I had the loveliest job on Saturday, helping Diane and Paul into their new roles as Mr and Mrs Robertson. A candle ceremony to remember loved ones, a handfasting, and a lot of laughter (especially when sharing their proposal story!) all contributed to a wonderful celebration of their love. Many thanks to the staff at The Grange Manor, Graham Mackay photographer and Russell Boyd videographer.

Congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Carruthers! It was an absolute joy to do the honours when Kelly and Ben got married at the fabulous Den at Culross yesterday.

Wishing them, and their beautiful girls Lucy and Lily, a lifetime full of happiness. Many thanks to Evelyn and Chris on the cameras, and Jan and all the staff at The Den. Good times! ❤️

It was an absolute joy to help the loveliest couple, Sinead and Jake, step into their new life together as Mr and Mrs Hamilton at Glenbervie House yesterday. It was a day filled with lots of love and lots of laughter, and Coco, the tiny ring bearer, played her part perfectly 🐶.

The rain stopped, the clouds parted, and the sun came out to join in the celebrations on Gillian and Paul's wedding day. It was wonderful to help such a lovely couple say their "I do's", and wish the new Mr and Mrs McDonald a lifetime of happiness. Also a huge pleasure to work with Charlene their wedding coordinator and Julie the photographer.

Sitting in Menorca and watching the beautiful wedding, from summer 2023, of Donna Murray and Stuart Murray on Life On The Bay episode 5 on BBC iplayer.

This afternoon, I had the privilege of delivering a Celebration of Life for a wonderful lady.
Margaret Letham was a beloved Mum, Gran and Great Gran (known as Granny Frogs), and her adoring family and friends will miss her dearly. It was an honour to learn about her life and to help to say farewell.
Always remember that today's little moments are tomorrow's precious memories.
Thanks to the staff at Fosters Funeral Directors and Daldowie Crematorium.
