Delighted to receive another review from a ceremony in September

18/11/2024

I sw this on the Surrey website and have highlighted it too

This is VERY wrong and deliberately misleading from a Government organisation! 🤬. I don’t think I can respond this this any better than our very own Michelle Taylor has.
I will just add though, did you know that Independent Celebrants don’t just conduct ceremonies for couples, we often conduct commitment ceremonies for polyamorous relationships too - registrars can’t do that either!!

⬇️

ARE SURREY REGISTRATION SERVICES feeling threatened ?
Whilst the registration service HAS to carry out the legal marriage registration in England and Wales , which all couples are legally entitled to, there is no requirement whatsoever for you to have the registrars conduct your wedding ceremony.
please can your registration services explain this BLATANT attempt to sabotage independent celebrants?
Yes you have to conduct the legal registration, but what we offer is choice !
Will you allow couples religious content? … no you aren’t allowed to!
We can

Will you allow couples to totally theme their ceremony and even dress to match the theme ?
No

Will you spend hours speaking to couples and hours crafting a beautiful ceremony?
No you can’t , but we can !

Will you stick around when one person is running late ?
No because you have to rush off for the next job !

Will you stop using post it notes for insert name here?
Probs not!

Will you always guarantee to get your couples names right ??
Clearly not!

Will you honour your marriers chosen pronouns and use the names they choose for their ceremony?
No… you can’t!
But WE can!

There is room for registration services to perform ceremonies and celebrants to perform ceremonies that really honour the people we are celebrating!
Has it really come to this? Telling couples they can’t have simple registration of marriages and they don’t need a celebrant??

Maybe they don’t, but it IS THEIR CHOICE!
Stop pushing your agenda … we know it is all about money on your part!

First review from wedding ceremony in June which I picked up quite late on. It was a real collaboration between the bride and myself with me adding a few extra touches to bring some fun for the couple. Comments from guests were through the roof: they all thought I knew the couple really well, so job done!

A gorgeous floral setting for the chuppah in an interfaith ceremony yesterday in Middle Temple. Jewish - Scottish connections being made.

A beautiful wedding in an open glade in Sussex. The confetti shot was something else! As ever, I love being a small, but essential part of somebody's big day. And when they tell me it was 'perfect' and 'exactly what they wanted' I consider that job done!

Throwback Thursday
Right back, almost at the start

A very moving article and one with which Celebrants will resonate. I know celebrants who conduct services for this kind of loss and produce a certificate which families treasure - it show that there was anticipation and excitment and a great deal of grief - that for a moment in time, it was a real possibility. Now there is an official recognition. It makes me think about the sister I had for 11 hours who actually made it into the world, but was too small and weak to survive. The horror story that my mother had to cope with is another story.

The Woman's Hour presenter explains why she applied for a certificate of loss in memory of her baby.

My mini article on why asking me how many ceremonies I have conducted doesn't necessarily translate into a quality assurance test!
