I love this beautiful reflection by my wonderful pal Jean Barrett Quinn Humanist Wedding Celebrant. 💚

One of my beautiful couples showed me this week, how Grief and Joy can co-exist.

Whether it's the bereavement of a relationship or life ended too soon...
Whether it's helplessly bearing witness to a live streamed gen_0c!de
Or laws being passed to remove rights from our fellow humans for simply being who they are.....the crushing weight of grief is real.

Sometimes when the world feels heavy, it seems like you shouldn't celebrate and feel joyful, especially in the world of weddings, yet joy is necessary.

It reminds us we are alive.
It reminds us of our privilege.
It reminds us that we only get one shot at this beautiful life.
It reminds us to feel grateful for those we love and who love us.
But above all it fuels the fire and reminds us to never stop fighting for the ones whose human rights have been taken away.

Joy is my currency and I promise to spend it wisely.

On this grey and rainy day I’m thinking of beautiful Clare & Eithne and their October wedding full of the brightest colours!

They brought the most colourful energy to their day, not only in terms of the flowers (some of which they grew themselves for their big day) and the individual artworks hand painted by artist Eithne as favours for their guests (what a talent!) but also in the loving and big-hearted vibes you could feel all around them. It was the happiest day, full of laughter and romance and mutual personal connections, and I loved every moment of it.

Swipe for a few examples of all that glorious COLOUR!

Thank you Mrs & Mrs McG for such a special, unforgettable day - love you both xoxo

Congratulations Mrs & Mr Smyth!

Last Friday I had the absolute pleasure of marrying Ciara & Michael

Their ceremony was full of craic and giggles, to the extent that I actually snorted with laughter at one point 🤦‍♀️🤣

In between laughs, they spoke their own personal vows to each other and there was hardly a dry eye in the house. Their words were so passionate and meaningful; it was an honour to bear witness to this special moment between two people so very much in love.

Truly living the humanist ceremony motto “your wedding, your way”, the newlyweds popped down to McDonald’s for a quick burger and retro photoshoot straight after they were declared legally wed!

Thank you so much Ciara & Michael for inviting me to marry you. I am so happy I got to know you both and I’ll never forget your magical, romantic, unique wedding - especially THAT suit Mr Smyth!

Wishing you a lifetime of happiness, music and lots of pets xoxox

Keep an eye out for the profesh pics by - such a relaxed and lovely presence to be around 👌

A beautiful and timely read today from Virginia Méndez Mesón

Resisting Feels Hopeless—But It’s the Most Important Thing We Can Do

My lovely Celebrant colleague Marylou McShane talking about being a Humanist school speaker… did you know you can book us (for free!) to come and talk to your school pupils or teachers about the humanist worldview?

Northern Ireland Humanists
Humanists UK

Did you know that 99% of 'school speaker' visits to schools in Northern Ireland are from Christian organisations?

We think children deserve to learn about being non-religious too because when it comes to learning about religions and humanism, children deserve a balanced approach.

We caught up with one of our school speakers recently, Mary Lou, to find out more about how school speakers are making a positive impact on young people’s lives.

If you're a teacher in Northern Ireland, you can also book a humanist school speaker for free!

(We'll post the full interview in the comments)

I couldn’t let today pass without wishing these two cracker humans a very happy 5th anniversary!!!!

Paula & Andrew are extra special to me because they were the first couple I legally married… so this is also my own 5 year anniversary! Officially celebrating 5 years of celebranting 😍

Their wedding was held in the grounds of their old school, where they first met as bright-eyed, bushy-tailed little first years. Not just any old school, the college that sits high up the cliff in Portstewart, overlooking the Atlantic! It was truly magical, and unforgettable for so many reasons.

It has been such a pleasure to have remained in the Boyd family’s lives these last few years. We had this photo taken a few months ago, at my first wedding after giving birth to Oliver. Paula was a bridesmaid to the wonderful Kelly and Richard .ni and it was great to catch up, as always.

Paula and Andrew, I will always be so very grateful to you two for asking me to marry you! 😁

Happy Anniversary, with all my love to you and the kids xoxo
