When I met Gemma and Ryan - aka The Murphys - to get to know them and understand their vision for their ceremony, I happened to share with them my desire to experience the Jacobite train and steam across the Glenfinnan viaduct. Imagine my surprise and delight to receive these utterly thoughtful gifts after marrying them. Completely overwhelmed and grateful. 🥹

✨️ Laura & Mark - 16/05/2026 ✨️

Introducing Mr & Mrs Borthwick! 🥰

These two gorgeous humans tied the knot at the fabulous Cairns Farm Estate - where Laura used to party as a teenager, when it was still a sheep shed!

Their eyes met across a strawberry garden in Cookstown in Northern Ireland where they were guests at a mutual friend's wedding. Despite Mark spilling a pint down Laura's back during the meal, over the course of that weekend, an unmistakable connection was forming between them.

Laura and Mark agreed to take things slowly...but, within a few months, they were pregnant. And they now share their life with two beautiful boys.

For them, marriage isn't about perfection. It's about choosing each other on the ordinary days as much as the extraordinary ones. It's about finding joy in the small moments, strength in the difficult ones, and humour when things don't go to plan.

They toasted their union with some whisky from the quaich (although, admittedly, it clearly wasn't Laura's 'cup of tea')!

Cheers to love, laughter and a happily ever after. ❤️❤️

Bonus - I got to meet Mr & Mrs Kelly again - I married Heather and Martin back in November 2022. 🥹

As some of you will already know, I, along with some other highly experienced celebrants, have established our very own humanist organisation - Humanist Ceremonies Scotland. I'd really appreciate you showing us some love by giving us a follow. 🥰

✨️ Ryan & Gemma - 09/05/2026 ✨️

Introducing Mr & Mrs Murphy! 🥰

Gorgeous couple, Ryan and Gemma, tied the knot on the fabulous grounds of Carrick Castle Estate on the banks of Loch Goil.

Ryan won Gemma's heart by throwing his coat over her head and then the promise of chips n cheese. He lied!

Two years later, Ryan got down on one knee at Ardtoe beach. Gemma was so shocked, the first words that left her mouth began with f and ended in off...at which point, golden doodle Alfie decided it was the perfect time to chase sheep! 🤣

Handsome pooch, Alfie, was 'doodle of the bride' - walking his mamma down the aisle, chilling at their feet during the ceremony, and then performing his ring bearing duties.

Some of their guests were invited to 'pop up' to share a few surprise words for Ryan and Gemma, and they shared G&T from the quaich - their first drink together as a married couple.

May your love for each other be like the G&T - bubbly, intoxicating, and slightly risqué in large quantities!

✨️ Tony & Kate - 02/05/2026 ✨️

Introducing Tony & Kate Yu! 🥰

My first trip to the stunning, historic Dunglass Estate was for Tony and Kate’s wedding day.

Scotland, and the East Lothian coastline in particular, hold a special place in their hearts. After all, they met in Edinburgh and spent their first date strolling North Berwick beach and the surrounding hills.

They first crossed paths at medical school when they found themselves in the same clinical skills lab learning how to perform a re**al exam on a mannequin! 🫣

During their time together, they have lived in three countries - Scotland, England, and New Zealand – and travelled to nine more. But after years of globetrotting, they’ve finally settled down in Bristol.

All their guests engaged in wedding band warming, their siblings recited readings and their mums were witnesses. A fabulous day for a fabulous couple!

Ceremonies from the heart and with humour.

Poems and readings can inject each of these elements into a wedding ceremony, whether recited by your celebrant or one of your guests. I'm sharing just some of my favourites. First up - from the heart - 'Love Like A River' by Whitney Hanson Poetry and the humour of 'A Scottish Romance'.

If you're celebrating or today, 💋
