Well hello, February!

The month where the ground starts to wake up, the light lingers a little longer, and love is most definitely in the air. Whether you’re counting down to your wedding day, deep in planning, or just soaking up all the romance this time of year brings, I hope this month is full of excitement and joy.

Here’s to new beginnings, brighter days, and beautiful love stories waiting to be told! 💕

What do you think of this 2025 wedding trend?

Micro weddings! 🎊

Micro weddings are becoming a popular choice for couples who are looking for smaller, more intimate ceremonies. They are seen as meaningful, personal ceremonies with a focus on sustainability and purse-friendliness.

What do you think? Will you be opting for a micro wedding, a big wedding or something in between? 🩷

How did I become a wedding celebrant? 🎊

Well, as the old saying goes, when one door closes, another one opens! I was doing a job I adored: dog grooming! Until unfortunately, I hurt my back and found myself struggling to manage the gorgeous pups I had as clients - especially some of the big ones! 🐶

So I thought long and hard about what else I loved - working with lots of different people, reading and writing beautiful stories, and most importantly, love itself. As a celebrant, I am so lucky to work with all of these elements every day - and I still fit in the odd dog grooming session to get my adorable doggy fix!

Happy St Dwynwen’s Day, also known as Wales’ Valentine’s Day

Saint Dwynwen might be the Welsh patron saint of love, but her own love story was anything but smooth.

The legend goes that Dwynwen, one of 36 daughters of an Irish king, fell deeply in love with Maelon Dyfodrull, a lad from north Wales. Unfortunately, her father, King Brychan, wasn’t impressed and refused to let them marry. Heartbroken, things took a dark turn when Maelon, angry at the rejection, lashed out at her.

In her despair, Dwynwen prayed for help, and her prayers were answered in a rather dramatic fashion. Maelon was turned to ice, and Dwynwen was granted three wishes. She wished to be free from him, to never marry, and to dedicate her life to helping others struggling in love. She then retreated to a quiet life in a convent on the beautiful Llanddwyn Island in Anglesey.

Folklore tells us her church became a sanctuary for lovers, complete with a sacred fish that could predict the future of relationships. Even today, people visit the scenic ruins of Llanddwyn church and celebrate Saint Dwynwen’s Day by sharing love spoons – a beautiful tradition that’s been around since the 17th century.

Her story might be bittersweet, but Dwynwen’s legacy lives on as a symbol of compassion and hope for anyone navigating the complexities of love.

Having said ALL that, in my opinion it is one of the most beautiful places! So if you fancy dipping your toes or feeling sand in your toes while you exchange you wedding vows, get in touch as I’m your person 🥰

It's National Dress Up Your Pet Day! 🐶 So here's our Burt the Springer in his element, sporting a sombrero at a family party!

He's not one to say no to a little extra attention, or a silly outfit, especially if my daughter Beth has anything to do with it!

Do your pets secretly love getting dressed up? 🐾

Would you like to write your own vows? ✍️

When you choose a wedding celebrant, it's important to look for someone who can work with you on your vows, readings and any other personal touches.

So send me a message if you're looking for a wedding celebrant who will work with you to make your ceremony truly unique to you.

"Grief is the price we pay for love" - Queen Elizabeth II.

I'm sure we can all relate to this heartfelt quote, but when you're struggling those first few days after a loss, it can feel difficult to look back on those moments of love.

As your funeral celebrant, I meet with you to learn all about your loved one and how they impacted your life, so their funeral honours and remembers them perfectly. If you're looking for a funeral celebrant, please contact me to discuss how we can commemorate the life of your loved one.

There’s something about Christmas that feels extra magical—the twinkling lights, crackling fires, and the soft glow of candles. It’s a time filled with love, laughter, and moments that take your breath away.

And what could be more magical than a Christmas proposal? A kiss under the mistletoe, the sparkle of a ring by fairy lights, and that incredible feeling of saying yes to forever. It’s the kind of moment that feels straight out of a Christmas film, a memory you’ll cherish forever.

Whether your proposal was a cozy, quiet moment at home, or a big surprise surrounded by family, it’s the perfect way to start a new chapter in your lives.

If this Christmas brought you a beautiful proposal and a promise, I would love to help you create a ceremony as special as your story.
Get in touch and let’s make it unforgettable! 💍❤️🥂

Losing a loved one over the festive period can be unbearably difficult. The last thing you want to think about is Christmas, while you also have to plan a funeral.
