Frances Celebrates You

Warning: Mushy Post 🥰🌈💞

I just had to share a few of my favourite 📷 from Chris and Rhoda's August wedding day, because they completely encapsulate why I do this and also why I love it so much.

By the time I marry you, we have gotten to know each other and I am personally and emotionally invested in you and your love story and in making sure that your special day is completely amazing!!!

So when it all comes together and I know that you've enjoyed the ceremony so much, we end up with the ridiculously cheesy grins I'm making in the above photos. 🧀😁

I am so honoured by the couples who want me to be a part of their big day, and I love this job so so much!

Introducing... Brooke & Rhys 💖🪩

I had the loveliest afternoon today meeting with Brooke and Rhys, who I'll be marrying at The Barn at The Rose and Crown in Welwyn next September.

We chatted about everything from ceremony structure, to how they met, to our experiences of Taylor Swift's ERAs tour 😍.

They are so lovely and a lot of fun, and I'm so excited for what I know is going to be an amazing day. I'm so honoured they want me to be a part of it 🥰.

Introducing Sam & Jackie... 🪩💞

I first met these guys at last year and got instant great vibes. And I was right!!

We met up a couple of weeks ago so that we could build a connection in person before they make the move to Jackie's hometown of Sydney. (Their wedding is in May in Sam's hometown of Devon though, so I won't be jet setting ✈️)

We had so much fun chatting over pints about their relationship and throwing ideas around for their ceremony, while watching the Euros semi-final (with misguided hope still alive in our hearts ⚽😢)

Cannot wait to get started on their ceremony and am so excited that i'm going to have a part of their special day!

Introducing...Chris & Rhoda 🥰

Just look at these cuties!! I'm marrying these two in a tipi in Herefordshire in August and I can't wait!

They met in their first year of uni over 10 years ago and have been through so much since then, including 3 years of long distance between the UK and Hong Kong before making a home together in London.

We met at their local 🍻 for a planning sesh last night and threw around so many fun ideas for their ceremony. I even got to meet their adorable babies Hazel 🐕and Luna 🐈‍⬛

They're so full of love and excitement for their future, and i'm so excited I get to be part of their big day!

I cannot tell you how much of a pleasure it was to work with Richard and Jesse on their ceremony. Every time I spoke to them it felt like chatting to friends. They are such a special couple, with such a unique and beautiful story, which it was an honour to tell.

I cannot wait to share more photos and peeks into their wedding, because every detail was just so fun and so very 'them'. I'm so happy that they chose me as their celebrant and trusted me to give them the fun, heartfelt and joyful ceremony that they deserved.

See you soon BFFs 😘

Introducing...Richard & Jesse 💍💕🇨🇦

Hailing from different parts of Canada, these two lovely people first met when they were working at the same company in Vancouver. They worked in each other's direct eyeline at opposite ends of the office floor for over a year, but despite Jesse's quirkiness and kind nature piquing Richard's interest from afar, they didn't speak until her leaving drinks...

Within months they were completely in love, (and their dogs were besties 🐾) and they started making plans for Jesse to accompany Richard to London, where his job was being transferred.

Since then they've been inseparable and built a beautiful life here. They've made a home together, travelled (a lot), got engaged in Venice, and most importantly, have chosen me to be their celebrant for their wedding this May! 💃🏼🪩

We met for a lovely planning session last Sunday, and I'm currently in the process of writing their script, ready for their ceremony at the iconic cinema in Bethnal Green 📽️🍿.

I am so happy that they chose me to tell their story, and I can't wait for their big day!!

Introducing...Bekka & Sean 🪩

I first met this fab couple at back in November and we instantly clicked. So I was thrilled when they asked me to be their celebrant for their October 2025 wedding 🎉

They met in lockdown, through a mutual friend, and had their first date in a graveyard 🪦... which I'm told was out of lack of date ideas, and nothing to do with Bekka's love of horror and all things spooky 👀. Since then they've built a beautiful relationship and life together. Sean popped the question late last year, and Bekka gracefully accepted, though it was quite tough to hear her answer through the hysterical (happy) sobbing.

We met last week to get to know each other better and to kick around some ideas for the ceremony, and it was awesome! They are excellent humans, whose love for each other shines through in every interaction, and it's so lovely to see.

I cannot wait to be part of their special day!! 😍
