Oh, what fun I had on Saturday conducting Joni and Adrian's Renewal of Vows ceremony.

💜 10 years on, and the love they share is clear for all to see.
💜 Our guest of honour was Winnie the Pooh, a little bear from whom, by her own admission, Joni is ever so slightly obsessed.
💜 Can we just take a moment to admire Joni's beautiful dress. It is her original, yes original, that was shortened for Saturday's ceremony. She looked stunning as did Adrian.....obviously.
💜 Oh my, we had so much content in this ceremony that I will share over the coming weeks.
💜 Thanks, Joni and Adrian, for choosing me as the Celebrant who got to share your love story and be a part of your fabulous day. Here's to the next 10 years, in fact, to Infinity and Beyond 💜

Oh, what fun I had today in the Kent sunshine meeting Molly and Tom at their wedding venue . Their little daughter Poppy was a sheer delight in her Micky Mouse sunglasses, and it was an honour to meet Molly's dad, aka Big Phil!

💜 If today was anything to go by, then their wedding ceremony in just a few weeks time is going to be full of love, laughter, and fun.

💜 Mr S-H and I loved the pub so much we decided to stay for beer and burgers!

Just when I thought I couldn't love Terry and Dave any more this beautiful review popped onto my Google Review and Hitched pages without me even asking.

💜Their kind words have made me one very happy celebrant.

On Saturday it was my absolute honour to conduct Terry and Dave's wedding ceremony.

💜The first photo completely sums these two gorgeous guys up, just before it was taken Terry whispered something in my ear that completely cracked me up. It was the theme of the ceremony as at every given opportunity Terry was throwing in hilarious adlibs.
💜I can't tell you how much fun I have had getting to know the life and love story shared by Terry and Dave. They have been together a number of years, but the timing just never seemed right for marriage, until now. I will be forever grateful that they found their way into my celebrant world (via ) and granted me the massive honour of entrusting their much anticipated wedding ceremony into my hands.
💜I just know they are going to continue to enjoy a happy life together filled with love, laughter, chocolate and cake.

As Daniele and Gareth's wedding ceremony approached the fabulous groomsmen found themselves in a flurry of confusion over the intricacies of tying a proper bow tie.

💜With nervous hands and many a furrowed brow they fumbled through loops and knots. I mean just look at Father of the Bride, Mark's face, love it.

💜Time for my superhero aka Mr S-H to step up and help Gareth to tie his bow tie. (Gareth eventually swapped it for another but I think he appreciated David's efforts).

💜Well, there was really no need to panic, as they all scrubbed up gloriously in the end.

Thanks to the Scott and Chris for so generously sharing the full gallery of this perfect wedding.

Wow, what a fabulous day at the there were so many brilliant speakers.

💜 It was also a wonderful opportunity to catch-up IRL with Instagram celebrant friends.
💜 The beautiful leather notebook was a gift from my children when I qualified as a celebrant. It's filled with so many new ideas. My personalised water bottle was a gift from my little grandson (I have such a thoughtful daughter in law!)

On Sunday I had the absolute pleasure of conducting Danielle & Gareth wedding ceremony .
💜It was a windy one but they were thrilled to be able to celebrate their "I Dos" outside, with the stunning tower as their dramatic backdrop.
💜To Danielle & Gareth's delight so many of their family and friends had travelled from the "other side of the pond" and the world famous English rain held off all day.
💜They chose to include the fabulous wedding ring warming ceremony and by choosing both of their brothers as ring bearers, Danielle & Gareth received a warm welcome into their new families.
💜It was probably one of the windiest hand tying ceremonies I have conducted and their gorgeous knot reflects this perfectly.
💜All in all a perfect day and a perfect start to my 2024 wedding season.

Danielle & Gareth you know how much I've enjoyed getting to know you both. I am sure you are having a fantastic time in Paris and I wish to safe travels back to the USA. 💜

💜Hello everyone, I haven't posted anything for about 3 weeks now. To be honest, I just wasn't feeling the whole social media thing for a little while. So, I decided the best thing to do was take a break.

💜That doesn't mean I haven't been working away at my fabulous little business. In fact, I have never been busier. I can't believe the flurry of bookings I have received for this year in the past couple of weeks.

💜I've had virtually ceremony planning meetings with all my couples up to the end of July and August couples I'm coming for you very soon.

💜I've also had venue visits with the gorgeous Joni & Adrian to plan their Renewal of Vows ceremony and today with the fabulous Beverley and Dave to plan their June wedding.

💜On Sunday, Danielle and Gareth arrive from America, and we are meeting on Tuesday to put the finishing touches to their wedding the following Sunday.

💜Add to this script writing, and the mounds of behind the scene admin and thought that goes into every wedding ceremony I plan and conduct, and I think I probably deserved a break from social media.

But I am back, so if you want to know just how all this planning can turn your special day into something extra special, then feel free to reach out 💜

💜Oh, and the photo was taken at Christmas in Australia.

On International Women's Day I want to give a huge shout out to just some of the many fabulous, generous, hugely talented and all round awe inspiring women it has been my absolute pleasure to meet and work with in the last couple of years.

💜They have always got my back and are constantly recommending me to couples. I just don't think Ceremonies by Ruth would be what it is today (whatever that is 🤣), if these gorgeous humans hadn't walked into my life.
💜Thank you each and every one of you.💜

This very dapper chap is Sarah's Grandee, an esteemed guest at her wedding to Chris last September at the beautiful on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year!

💜 You may have noticed that he is wearing the most beautiful butterfly tie clip.
💜 Sarah’s Nannie Betty just adored butterflies, so Grandee wore the tie clip as a heartfelt tribute to the memory of his late beloved wife. Even more poignantly he told me that he always carries her photograph next to his heart. I don't mind admitting that I welled up as he fondly patted his heart.
💜 The butterfly theme continued as Sarah, in her own tribute to Nannie Betty, choose a beautiful ribbon decorated with butterflies for her hand tying moment with Chris. It was a subtle yet powerful way to honour Nannie Betty's memory.
💜 From Grandee's tie clip to Sarah's ribbon choice, Nannie Betty was very much in everyone thoughts on this most special of wedding celebrations. 🦋🦋

If you want to know how we can pay tribute to the memory of your loved ones during your wedding ceremony then my DMs are always open.
