I have been privileged to be part of many amazing weddings over the years. The wedding day is the end point for me but the beginning point for the both of you. Yesterday I celebrated 34 years of happiness with my beloved, make every day count ❤️

A handfasting ritual is such an important part of a ceremony, especially if you have Celtic ancestry like myself.
It’s a great way to involve children and other family members in the ceremony. You also have that all important keepsake to remember your amazing day!
Thanks to L&B for choosing this ritual for their ceremony- which went like a dream. Perfect day!

Well never have I ever… had so much fun at a wedding. A groom who spoke his vows from the heart, no rehearsal, no written prompts just words straight from his lips to the brides ears. And oh my how we laughed!! What did I expect from a talented and accomplished author! There were certainly a few firsts for me today and I loved every second.

And for one lovely couple, their day is tomorrow… 🥰

It probably feels like you have to wait forever. Hopefully you will look back on this time and be able to see what a great time it was, spending it with your loved ones. You will be married and your day will come. You will wear your special dress that you took so long to choose, you will say those vows that you so lovingly wrote. It will happen. xx
