Everything about Rich and Katie's wedding last Saturday @thetithebarn was spectacular.
Storm Darragh was doing its best to disrupt us but, such was the bubble of love around Rich and Katie, that not even the elements could dilute the happiness and joy of their day.
There was magic in the twinkly, cosy, toasty-warm 16th century Tithe Barn on the @boltonabbeyestate -
We all felt it.
We all loved it.
We all had a moment.
Thank you so VERY much for choosing me to eb your celebrant, Mr & Mrs D - you are an extra-ordinary couple and family and have a lifetime of adventures ahead of you as long as you pack plentiful packets of those mini cheese cheddars!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!
Then ❤ Now❤ Forever

What a heart-melting opening moment to Rich and Katie's Wedding Ceremony last Saturday..... no sooner did Michael's exquisite version of "Songbird" start to fill the air, then little Ava spotted her mum and Grandpa walking down the aisle and instinctively ran towards them, arms open wide, with uninhibited joy!
There was an audible "Awwwwwwwwwwwww" from us all and the moment is superbly captured by talented @samchipmanphotography
While baby R snoozed contentedly throughout the ceremony, Ava snuggled on her own seat in between Rich and Katie and enjoyed a delicious packet of mini cheddars as she watched the ceremony unfold.😋
Utterly delightful!💘
And Rich and Katie picked the most perfect poem #brianbilston by Brian Bilston , humorously describing the myriad of mishaps, both big and small, which may happen to any of us but showing that, whatever life's adventures and challenges, "you'll be there when I get home" ..... everything will be just fine because YOU = home.
Warm, meaningful, heartfelt and lovely , Rich and Katie's international wedding reflected their calm, kind and loving personalities.
What a finale to 2024!
Massive CONGRATULATIONS to Mr & Mrs D.💞🫶💞

Now I'm a Believer!
Turn that music right up at the end of your ceremony to fill the space and encourage your guests to join in singing, swaying, clapping and whooping!
It's the start of the celebration so give it large!
Well done, Ellie & Kate @thirsk_lodge_barns !
Now I'm a believer !

Alan & Amy
Romantic ❣️
Dreamy❣️
Fun❣️
Passionate❣️
Amy and Alan's wedding last Thursday was truly a unique moment in time ❣️
Their love story is one of soul- searching, determination, sacrifice and driven by the sheer strength of the love they have for each other.
All of the above, coupled with fun, light hearted anecdotes( Alan's face stuck to a fish tank .. 🐟🐟🐟🐟!) made their ceremony a delight and pleasure .
Along with Liv, you have created a beautiful family, Alan & Amy.❣️

"Be honest and patient;
listen keenly;
make time for each other;
be flexible;
keep communication open
and see things from each other's perspective."
What wise and thoughtful advice D & C shared in their wedding ceremony last Sunday in the 19th century chapel@ruddingparkhotel.
I loved their engagement story too - D's proposal to C was written on the front of their gorgeous little boy's baby grow reducing C to tears of happiness when she read the message!💘💕🫶
That's just a little bit gorgeous, isn't it?
Congratulations on your wedding and now all sharing the same surname 🌟💞🌟

Listen to that dreamy piano music filling the air in the chapel @ruddingparkhotel .
Our lovely bride walked into Fiona King Wedding Pianist playing "Halo" by Beyonce, they signed their wedding certificate to Pachebel's "Canon in D" and D&C were showered in both love and confetti listening to Greenday's " Time of your Life"
WHAT.
A.
DAY!
Congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs and to their gorgeous little boy who wore a suit which matched his daddy's ❤️

....Other words are available but these three cover the beautiful wedding day for A & D which I had the privilege of presenting on behalf of True to You Celebrancy Yorkshire last Saturday at the lovingly- restored @thechillibarn , Otley.
A's mum kept her reading as a secret which was a gift to them in itself and relatives and friends abroad joined us via the wonders of a live web stream 🫶
Their love story began 10 years ago this month when they met as they said, ' it's safe to say we haven't rushed into this! "
Both arrived as Freshers at Durham University and we're in the same college.
By way of introduction , an " ice breaker" evening was organised - 2 truths and a lie ! No more can be divulged about that game but D had certainly caught A's eye and he ended up looking after D all evening and, as Cupid would have it, for ever after !
💘💝💖💘💝💖
Many, many Congratulations to D & A and may D continue to crochet beautiful toys for her niece's... She's taking commissions such is the quality of her handicraft🤗👍!)
