On Saturday, I had the absolute privilege of conducting the wedding ceremony of Heather and Ross. 💕

A lovely couple who have shared almost 10 wonderful years together, it was time to celebrate not only everything they’ve achieved as a couple, but also the exciting future that lies ahead as husband and wife.

There was also a very special VIP in attendance… their gorgeous pooch, Barney who had the important job of delivering the wedding rings to the bottom of the aisle. 🐾💍

I can safely say he carried out his duties impeccably and completely stole everyone’s hearts!

Thank you, Heather and Ross, for allowing me to be part of such a beautiful day. Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter and many more wonderful adventures together. ❤️

What a privilege it was to marry Eilidh & Bradley at Crossbasket Castle on Thursday.

This ceremony was especially close to my heart, as Eilidh is a dear friend of my daughter, who also had the honour of being one of her bridesmaids.

Eilidh and Bradley had a ceremony filled with love and meaning, including the presentation of flowers to both mums and a traditional handfasting, symbolising the joining of two lives and two families.

It was a joyful celebration surrounded by the people who love them most.

This stunning photograph by connorbarrettphotography captures Eilidh and Bradley so perfectly, it truly was an unforgettable day.

Congratulations once again, Mr & Mrs Robertson. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter and wonderful adventures together.

It was an honour to marry you and fabulous to celebrate your special day with you. 💕✨

On Saturday, I had the absolute pleasure of marrying Shiree and John in the most beautiful setting at Ross Priory on the banks of Loch Lomond.

With the mountains behind us and dramatic rain clouds gathering in the distance, it created the perfect backdrop for their day.

Shiree and John’s ceremony was filled with emotion from beginning to end. There were plenty of happy tears as I shared their story and the many poignant moments that have shaped their journey together. It was heartfelt, personal, and completely true to them.

It was such an honour to witness the love they share for one another, a love so clearly reflected in the warmth and support of their family and friends.

And the cheer that erupted as they were announced as Mr and Mrs Moore was absolutely deafening!

Congratulations again to you both, and thank you for choosing me to be part of such a special day.💕

Last Sunday, I had the pleasure of marrying Mel and Johnnie… and from the moment the surprise flower man appeared, followed by Darth Vader’s Imperial March playing just before the bridal party entered, I knew this was going to be a high-energy ceremony!

I shared the story of how they met in their early teens and the journey that brought them to this moment…a relationship filled with joy, laughter, adventure, and so much love… and I’m certain there is plenty more of that still to come.

Demi beautifully read The Giraffe and the Monkey poem before I revealed their heartfelt “three reasons”.

Mel and Johnnie then took part in a handfasting ceremony before exchanging rings and personal vows. They sealed their marriage with a toast of whisky from their personalised quaich, a Scottish touch for such a fun and meaningful celebration.

They even managed to pull off the most perfect dip halfway up the confetti-filled aisle as they made their way back down as newlyweds!

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Donnelly, it was an honour and pleasure to marry you.💕
