There’s something really special about a ceremony that’s all about family. 🤍

Marc and Vicki had such a beautiful, family-orientated wedding in July at the Buchan Braes Hotel, and I absolutely loved being part of it.

It means so much when couples take the time after their wedding to leave such lovely words - especially knowing that their ceremony felt like them. 🥰

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Laura married me and my husband last weekend and was so so lovely. Laura captured our story perfectly down to a tee. Laura offered meetings as often as we needed in the run up to the wedding and kept us right a few times with the legal side of things. Would highly recommend. Thanks for a perfect ceremony Laura!”

Thank you so much for trusting me with such an important part of your day, Mr and Mrs Gerrard! ❤️ It really was such a lovely ceremony to be part of.

And a huge thank you to Vicki and Marc, and to the fabulous J Dyer Photography, for allowing me to share these gorgeous photos. 📸

Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together. 🥂🤍

Today’s the day! 🥰

I’m all set for the Top Tier Wedding Fair at Ardoe House Hotel today from 12pm - 4pm.

If you’re planning your wedding, come over and say hello. Whether you already know exactly what you want for your ceremony or haven’t got a clue where to start, I’m always happy to have a blether and talk you through how it all works.

No sales pitch, no pressure, just come and have a chat, ask me anything you like and find out a bit more about creating a ceremony that actually feels like you two.

I’ll be there from 12pm until 4pm and hopefully see some of you there! ❤️

LET’S TALK DSPs!

Before anyone asks, it stands for Designated Sensible Person. 😆

If you don’t have a wedding planner or venue coordinator, choose a family member or friend who can be trusted to stay calm, answer their phone and, perhaps most importantly, not hit the champers too much before the ceremony. 😂

Give your DSP the timings, supplier contact details and a rough idea of where everything is. Then, when someone asks:

“Where are the buttonholes?”
“Has anyone seen Uncle Jimmy?”
“Who has the room key?”
“Where’s the confetti?”
“Is the cake meant to be leaning like that?”

…they can deal with it, rather than coming to find you.

They can also help gather people for photographs, keep cards and gifts somewhere safe and check that nothing important is left behind at the end of the night.

They may even be responsible for keeping your marriage schedule safe after the ceremony - which is a really important job!

Choose carefully. Being your best friend, sibling or best man does not automatically make someone sensible. If they regularly lose their phone on a night out, keep looking. 😆

Your wedding day is not the time to be answering messages, looking for missing relatives or sorting out everyone else’s questions. Pick a DSP and let them handle the chaos.

Did you have a Designated Sensible Person, or did everyone still come and ask you? What else would you add to their job list? 🥰

Testimonial Sunday

Laura you are just amazing. You made us feel so comfortable during our wedding, you were attentive and reassuring on the lead up, and made us laugh and cry. Can’t thank you enough!

A little note about today’s Moray Wedding Show…

Unfortunately, some unexpected caring commitments mean I’m not able to be there in person today, which I’m genuinely really disappointed about as I was so looking forward to meeting everyone.

But… Laura Gordon - Caledonian Wedding Celebrant - Scotland is still there! 🥰

My stand is all set up, so if you’re visiting the show today:

Please pop over and have a look
Pick up one of my cards
Scan the QR code to have a wee nosey around my website

Find out more about the relaxed, personal and completely individual ceremonies I create
And, importantly, find out about having a legal wedding ceremony with me here in Moray 💍

If you were hoping to have a chat with me today, please don’t be shy about getting in touch. I’d be delighted to arrange a video call and hear all about the two of you and what you’re planning.

I’m really disappointed not to be there chatting weddings with everyone in person, but sometimes family simply has to come first.

Have the loveliest day if you’re heading along - and please do stop by my stand. I may not physically be standing beside it, but I promise I’m much more talkative than the furniture. 😆🤍

🤍 Possibly one of the more unusual proposal stories I’ve ever heard…

After a wild swim, one groom-to-be realised he’d forgotten to bring dry shorts. Undeterred, he put on his pants and a fleece before getting down on one knee.

Unfortunately, the fleece covered his pants completely, so, from his partner’s angle, he appeared to be proposing naked from the waist down. 😂

There was screaming, jumping in the air and dancing. She didn’t actually say “yes” straight away, but he wisely took her reaction as a good sign.

The lesson? Remember the ring, choose the perfect moment…and pack some trousers. 🫣

P.S - I have to say that the story does not relate to this wedding I conducted at the gorgeous Fyvie Castle, Garden & Estate NTS 😆

A few wedding-day tips that nobody seems to mention…

I’ve noticed it’s usually the smallest things that catch couples out, not the big things they’ve spent months planning.

Walk down the aisle more slowly than you think you need to. Nerves and excitement can make people practically gallop down it, and suddenly they’re beside me before their music has even reached the good bit. Take your time, look around and enjoy seeing everyone who has come to be there with you. Sashay slowly - you only get to make this entrance once! 🥰

If you’re carrying flowers, hold them roughly around your belly button, or slightly lower. Bouquets have a habit of creeping higher and higher when people are nervous until they’re hiding half their outfit. 💐

Make sure somebody is definitely responsible for the rings, and that they know they are. “I thought you had them” is not quite the relaxed start anyone was hoping for. 💍

If you’re getting married outside, think about wind as well as rain. Rain can usually be worked around with brollies, but wind can send veils, paperwork and carefully arranged hair in three different directions. It can also make it difficult for your guests to hear, so have a sensible backup plan, even if you’re determined to stay outside. 💨

Try walking in your wedding shoes before the day, preferably on a surface similar to the one at your venue. Grass, gravel, sand and old stone floors can all be a bit less cooperative than a shop carpet. Heel protectors or a spare pair of shoes can be worth their weight in gold. 👠

Keep a tissue somewhere you can actually reach it. Not in a handbag on the other side of the room or with an auntie sitting five rows back. Even if you’re sure you won’t cry, your nose may have other plans. 🥹

Please tell your celebrant about difficult names, family situations or anything happening as a surprise. We don’t need every detail of the seating plan, but it’s helpful to know that somebody mustn’t be mentioned, two people don’t speak, or a dog is arriving halfway through wearing the rings. 😆

And please eat something. A glass of fizz is not breakfast, no matter how many strawberries are floating in it. 🥂

Most importantly, don’t worry if something doesn’t go exactly as planned. If you laugh at the wrong moment, stumble over a word, put the ring on the wrong hand or need to stop and take a breath, it really doesn’t matter. You’re getting married, not sitting an exam. 😊

Those are often the moments that make a ceremony feel real, and they’re usually the ones everyone remembers. ❤️

💍 ASK A WEDDING CELEBRANT!

Got a wedding question you’ve been too scared, embarrassed… or confused to ask? 😊

Ask me anything!

Do we need personal vows?
Can we have a handfasting or quaich?
Can the dog be involved? 🐾
What actually makes us legally married?
What happens if one of us can’t stop crying?
Can we include religion if we’re not particularly religious?
Or simply… “Laura, can we actually do this?!”

Pop your question below 👇 or message me privately if you’d rather.

And if you fancy asking me in person, I’ll be at the Love & Co Weddings Show in Elgin this Sunday - come and say hello! ❤️

👋 Hello! I’m still here… 🤍

I thought it was probably time I popped up and reintroduced myself, because I’ve been absolutely rubbish at keeping my page updated lately!

I’m Laura, the face behind Caledonian Wedding Celebrant, based just outside Elgin and conducting legal weddings and civil partnerships across Moray, Speyside, the Highlands, Aberdeenshire, and occasionally beyond.

Despite the radio silence, I haven’t disappeared. 😂 Life has just been rather hectic.

There have been family health worries, pet health worries (my old boy, Patrick seems determined to keep the veterinary profession in business 🙈), and, thankfully, lots and lots of lovely weddings.

I’ve had the pleasure of marrying some absolutely wonderful couples this year, with plenty more still to come over the next few months. 🤍

Unfortunately, somewhere amongst all of that, Facebook - and occasionally my inbox - has taken a bit of a back seat.

So I do want to say sorry to anyone who has tried to get in touch and has waited longer than they should have for a reply, or whose message I may have missed altogether. I promise I’m not deliberately ignoring you!

If you email me and don’t hear back, please chase me. Send me a WhatsApp or text, or just give me a call. You genuinely won’t be bothering me - I’d much rather you nudged me than thought I wasn’t interested.

For anyone who doesn’t know me, my approach to weddings is pretty simple. I want your ceremony to feel like you.

It can be heartfelt, funny, traditional, completely untraditional, religious, non-religious, full of people, just the two of you, beautifully organised or with a dog deciding halfway through that they’re actually the main event. 😂

No two couples are the same, so I don’t think their ceremonies should be either.

Anyway, that’s me officially resurfaced! 👋 I’ll try not to leave it quite so long next time… although between weddings, family and the aforementioned animals, I’m making no promises. 😂🤍
