Happy First Anniversary! (how was this a year ago?!)

It’s not every day I’m asked to write and conduct a **bilingual** wedding ceremony — so when Rachel and Jeremy first got in touch to plan a celebration that would truly include and connect with all of their English and French-speaking friends and family, I was thrilled!

I have always felt lucky when an opportunity arises to speak to people in their first language, and to be asked to do this for a wedding was an honour indeed!

As well as putting my finest French accent and lingo code-switching to the test, their ceremony was a perfect reflection of who they are: thoughtful, adventurous, and full of heart.

I even got to witness the moment before the ceremony when Jeremy unwrapped an unexpected and very special gift from Rachel - her own original piece of artwork, charting their journey together, through buildings, cities and countries — from the place they first met, all the way to their stunning wedding venue. A love story told not just in words, but in hand-drawn pictures too.

And what a story! From meeting as young professionals to building a life rich with travel and countless shared adventures — their relationship is all about embracing life to the fullest. Add to that their natural chemistry and warmth, and the fact that they are incredibly photogenic — well, it’s no wonder their wedding photos from the amazing are nothing short of stunning.

Happy First Anniversary, Rachel & Jeremy!
It was an honour to be part of your day.
Here’s to many more years of love and adventure. 💍✨

Merry Christmas, from our house to yours!

Thank you everyone for your love and support this year, and especially to my beautiful 2024 couples who just make it so joyful in ways that no-one else can.

Here are the finest festive buns, Rocky and Amelie - one of them was very chill with this situation, and the other one not so much, but went along for the ride.

Wishing you a warm and gentle festive season!

HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY to this pair of loved up legends!

Can’t believe it’s been a year since I had the privilege of conducting Zoë and Aaron’s gorgeous woodland ceremony at Captains Woods Barn!

The consensus is that this is one of the sweetest moments ever to be captured on camera (photos by the fab ), when little kilted D trotted up to the front mid-ceremony for some mummy and daddy cuddles 🥰

And quite right too that he should have a piece of the action - it’s not every day that you get to witness such an occasion between your two favourite people in the whole world.

And D now has a little brother, so this will definitely provide bragging rights for the next 18 years or so…

Huge congratulations to a beautiful family - what a year!

Swipe for more joyous moments 🧡 💙 🤍

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY to all the wonderful women I know and all those I have yet to meet!

Yesterday evening my friend and I attended an open event at .library to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of The Women’s Library Reading Room.

The Women’s Library is the oldest and largest library in Britain devoted to the history of women’s campaigning and activism. We discovered the its brilliant story, and we made some feminist art with

Naturally, mine was marriage-themed.

Remember: Sign on as love’s accomplice. AID and ABET, my beautiful lovers ❤️
(full extract below)

“Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won’t adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words “make” and “stay” become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.”

YES I know, it’s the 15th February - and I’m a teensy bit late with my Valentine’s musings! But I know you’ll forgive me 😊 ❤️

🐻 As with Christmas, some people like to a good old moan about the commercialisation of Valentine’s Day. A huffing grumble about societal expectations and the culture of gifting and spending. But here’s the thing: it’s not about grand gestures or splashing the cash!

❤️ It’s about reminding people we love that we love them, in whatever way works best for us. Don’t get me wrong: a token gift is nice. I know it’s not very original, but I don’t think you can go far wrong with a card and/or flowers and/or chocolate. And if you want to be romantic, thrifty AND pragmatic, there’s also a wide range of excellent value Valentine’s meal deals.

🖊️ 🚪 🫖 But even if you can’t or don’t want to spend any money at all, you have options. There’s a text or a handwritten note. There’s fixing a thing in the house that you know is annoying your loved one. There’s making the effort to sit down together for half an hour and check in with each other. Don’t forget those old love languages - one of these freebies might actually be the very best way to say « I love you and I care about the things that are important to you. »

📆 Of course you can do these on any day of the year. Surely we don’t need a note in the calendar and a bombardment of ads to remind us?

❤️ Errr well, let’s face it: we are all busy, fallible, forgetful, and occasionally even a bit neglectful of our most precious relationships - whether with our partner, family or friends.

❤️ So if Valentine’s Day gives us a prod to express our love and appreciation, then that can only be a good thing.

❤️ But if (LIKE ME) you ran out of time yesterday, there are still 322 days left this year :-)

❤️ BIG BIG LOVE ❤️

💖 LOVELY FEEDBACK! 💖

💖 I don’t set out to make people cry, promise!

🖋️ But I DO set out to write every ceremony in a way that mirrors the stories, the spirit, the values and the emotions that you share with me.

💖 As a couple, it’s not every day that you take the time to remember everything that’s special about your relationship, as captured and recounted by another. In fact, it’s a rare chance indeed. So I guess that when you do, all those feelings might come flooding in!

💖 I’m endlessly grateful to you for trusting me with so much, and I’m always over the moon to know I’ve struck just the right chords.

💖 And the best bit? On your wedding day, you get to experience it all over again, surrounded by your loved ones - and honestly, it’s pure joy.

💗 ✒️WRITING YOUR WEDDING SCRIPT 🖊️

When I say I write your wedding ceremony from scratch, I mean it!

I find it hard to craft a script solely on a screen. I've always needed blank sheets of paper (no lines!) and a
"thinking" pen.

The way that I write things down HAS to reflect my thought processes, the gaps, the sentences still waiting for a conclusion or a different adjective. The twists and turns, the splendid unfolding of the story.

If I change my mind about something, I can cross it out, but I can still see it and read it if I want to remind myself how I got there and why it didn't work. And then I can change it back if it works after all.

I'm not sure what this says about my my brain.

But it results in ceremonies that are really quite remarkable! If I do say so myself!

If you'd like to know how I can help you create a wedding ceremony that's utterly unique to you, drop me a line!

🌟 NEW YEAR'S EVE 2023 🌟

It's that time again! 😮

A couple of years ago I wrote a New Year's poem, and then the next year I wrote another, and now it's a compulsion.

So Happy New Year to all my followers, and especially to my beautiful couples and fellow wedding suppliers.
THANK YOU for your support throughout 2023.

I wish for you lots of love and luck in 2024, and as many winks as you need to muster the energy for all your endeavours - and your wedding(s) - big or small ###XX

I hope you like this new year's poem.

But if there’s one option I IMPLORE you to consider, it’s a Humanist ceremony. Your celebrant can help you express and celebrate your love in exactly the way that you want, with a ceremony that’s beautifully memorable because it’s completely unique to you.
