Three things I wish I knew before my humanist wedding:
1) How much will it cost?
2) How will we get legally married?
3) What happens during a humanist wedding ceremony?
Find the answers on my blog chums. Visit megsenior.com and hit INSPIRATION.

What can I say? I’m just a celebrant standing in front of an alt couple, ranting about tradition being complete nonsense.

What rebellious thing would you do for your wedding if there were no old-fashioned rules to follow? (Psssst IMO stupid old tradition can get in the sea)

Thinking about getting married in Autumn? I don't blame you one bit! Warm colours and cosiness very much appeal to me too 🧡
Because Mr Senior is a teacher we decided summer was a more sensible time for us to get wed, but if I could have chosen it would have been October all the way.
I have space for a three more weddings this year. If you're thinking of an Autumn date then I'd especially love for yours to be one of them!
Either way my lovelies, here's a touch of inspo for you.

Jumping into the weekend like...

Friendos, I hope you are all feeling sparkly and ready for a month of festivities!
December is a weird one for me because it used to be my busiest time at work (as a fundraiser) but now it's my quietest time. Instead of feeling mopey this year I'm determined to socialise the heck out of December.
I've got about a million things in the diary, but could squeeze a few more in so if you're partying/coffee-drinking/relaxing with pals, do send an invite my way loves.
I can't promise my hair will look as great as it does in this gif from @theweddingbusinessclub LIVE last year with @hannahbrookephoto - But I'll put some lippy on at least.
HAPPY DECEMBER PEOPLE!

Nergal went to the big smoke and this is what he saw on his travels 🐶
His first visit to London was a big success! He went on all modes of public transport, except for the weird cable car thing. He is truly the good-est of boys.

If we don’t know each other well, Instagram gives the impression that I’m always smiling my head off and dressed up ready for a ceremony.
Here’s the reality: I’m usually found in three types of outfits - Running gear, dog walking scruffs or muddy allotment clothes 🤷🏼♀️
It’s a treat for me to dress up for my clients’ ceremonies!

But are humanist wedding ceremonies just for hippies though? Erm... check out these warm, fun photos from Bethan + Andrew's wedding at Haarlem Mill in Derbyshire.
What do you think my answer to that question is now?
Humanist weddings are for glorious people like Bethan + Andrew, and for people just like you too!

Wedding inspiration from Sarah + Alex Wild's heartfelt Château Ceremony in the South of France.
Their surname really is "Wild" and they exited their humanist ceremony to Wild Thing by the Troggs!

What to expect from a naming ceremony, in the words of Amelia's dad, Adam.
Because it's embarrassing to blow my own trumpet, so it's pretty amazing when my clients do it for me ❤️
Seriously cool 90s wedding inspiration.

Reasons why humanist weddings are the real-est of them all...
I mean, just look at the pics from Jess + Ben's wedding at Left Bank Leeds. That's real love, a real partnership, and a REAL wedding ceremony.
[P.S. It was a humanist ceremony with extra special details and meaningful touches. We made memories and laughed and cried. It was BETTER than real - It was memorable and unique!]
Visit my blog at megsenior.com/inspiration to read all six reasons that my answer to the Q “does a humanist wedding feel real?” is a big, fat, resounding yes, and why I think it's actually the most authentic wedding you can have.
