Ceremonies by Leni Robson

Spent tonight celebrating this human and the other lovely human she got spliced to 10 years ago at a place where we are normally causing chaos in wedding shoots or at wedding fairs.

Our relationship has grown over those 10 years and now she and Danny are two of the humans who I know will be in my corner. And they created one of the best little humans I know who is a perfect combination of them both, feisty and strong, clever and kind.

That I get to do life with these three as part of my gang....lucky lucky me.

Although we've got wedding planning to get through yet....

Whatever I say you will always be my favourite.....

Happy Anniversary to these two. A beautiful day at for Emma snd Billy. A handfasting chord they made themselves. The coolesr grandad EVER. Laughter and joy.

I took this shot as they walked back to do the confetti shot as it just made me smile as it summed them up. Side by side, supportive and just as it should be.

Have a lovely day you gorgeous pair!

Asked for a splash of yellow at today's service so I was able to wear one of beautiful felt brooches purchased for the occasions. Im going to keep going until I have one for every possible colour.

Made 2 miles down the road, beautifully crafted and a perfect pop of colour.

Thank you my lovely, ill be back soon!

Before and after.

First pic on my way to the glorious Hanbury Barns Wedding Venue for a delightful wedding of K&K beautifully dressed as ever by Derbyshire Wedding Stylist - Rent For Your Event where there was the best crew on!

No pics of the event as yet as it was wonderfully unplugged.

James Andrew Photography and Fuzfilms, entertained by the incredible voice of Ella Liliana | Wedding & Event Singer | Midlands, UK Based and then after a ceremony so full of laughs, a hand tying with a piece of tartan that belonged to the brides gran and more mentions of potatoes than Ive ever had before, plus a presentation of Poppy Cooks written by the queen of potatoes Poppy O’Toole - (a presentation of the book...not the human...now that would have been awesome.... ) and an exclamation by the bride of OH I FOLLOW HER!!!, then a stop off to rehydrate..... ....

It was collaborative and joyous and full of love and the best cheering. And kilts. OH SO MANY GORGEOUS SCOTTISH MEN IN KILTS.

Love love loved it!

Next stop on the wedding 2026 tour is a very special wedding in Southwell later in August...got a little something to do in Cornwall first....

I'm genuinely having the best time with weddings this year. My couples are SPECTACULAR, the suppliers are awesome....which I will be honest is not making my job in choosing my own any easier....

Anyway now back to ripping out the kitchen...the ups and downs of a weekend with Leni!

Also the music choice is called the Happy Otter which is nothing to do with the wedding but..ITS CALLED THE HAPPY OTTER!!!

Today I have spent the majority of my time here. Inside it my friends have created ancient Rome. They have moved and risen up and mutinied and npw its ready for an audience.

Im so excited for people to see it. I hope they see the pride everyone is taking in bringing it to them.

Oh to have a normal hobby you can do at home....but actually....nah.....

Come see it. Its magnificent

Funny way to spend a Thursday.

I went to a vegan restaurant ...confused when they gave me a steak knife.

I went to see a show which I didnt know had Clive Rowe in it which was a delightful surprise but I still haven't had the opportunity to experience a hug from him. I bet he gives THE BEST hugs.

All my trains were cancelled and when I got stressed I remembered that at least there wasnt a crash. And we werent stuck on a coach in France.

Cancelled trains and vegan restaurants all made worth while for time spent with one of my favourite humans .bea

You know how they say when you want something doing give it to a busy person.....

Well in between the new job, the weddings, the funerals, the naming ceremonies....

Ive been directing this rather epic little number. 40 cast. 2 venues.

Who needs sleep....

It would be lovely if you came to see it. In Cornwall or Derby. Im rather chuffed with it.

Tickets are available from Derby Live.

Also im aware ive managed to make an image that looks like im releasing an EP....

Hi East Midlands Railway (EMR) . Im currently sat on the floor of a train that is decidedly shorter than it should be because all the new trains mean we have a new excuse of 'more trains needing repair than expected'. Its a 5 car train instead of a 10....

And WHY were you still selling 1st class up until 30 minutes ago when theyve been declassified.

And please dont advertise the buffet car in the middle...some tossers will try and get to it!

The lovely train announcer said i needed to tell you on social media. So I have.

Normal wedding/ ceremony stuff will resume when...if...I get home....

So here's the thing that some of you dont know.

In order for me to do my 'heart work' the celebrancy, the charity work, in the way I want to (limited so you get the attention you deserve whilst I protect my heart) I also need to work in a job that pays a salary, a pension etc.

For the majority of my time as a celebrant that's been due to the NHS. In recent years working with and for autistic people and people with learning disaabilities.

But recently I got caught in the changes this government implemented. And at the same time a new role was advertised. So I applied.

Because of what I've been gifted and learnt from the people I've worked alongside I got it.

Today was my first day. I'm now an employee of the Church of England.

What does that mean for you?

Nothing. My practice doesnt change. You get the same care, consideration and love with your ceremonies you always did. If you want a bit of faith in it, nay bother. If you dont...nay bother.

I've never hidden my faith. But it's mine. When I get married/die then I will have God involved (I mean...I'm hoping I get the Abbey now.... right??...) When you get married/name your child/ die...its your right to choose.

I will always be your celebrant. But I'm also the Reverend Peter Robson's daughter. Churchwarden Carol Lea's child. And from my first day...I think I'm home.

(Also if being in London once a month means theatre trips and out to play with Brian...bring it on...)
