I'm a humanist who has been granted the privilege of conducting legal marriages in Scotland - if you want a personalised ceremony which represents you as a couple, tells your story and incorporates, humour, joy and passion then get in touch! I absolutely love my job and getting to know my couples, I offer then support in the run up to their big day and I'm honoured to be a little part of one of the biggest days of their lives.
I am very passionate about my role, I have always been a people person and I love working with couples through the process of creating their own ceremonies. In my opinion, it's important for couples to be involved in creating their own individual ceremonies and I encourage my couples to have their voices heard to ensure their ceremony represents them as a couple, reflecting their personalities, thoughts and values.
I can curate poems and readings for friends and family of they wish and I can incorporate a range of symbolic gestures, such as 'tying the knot' (or handfasting), drinking from a quaich etc.
As a humanist, my ceremonies are non-religious and the focus of the ceremonies I write is very much celebrating the good things in life. My ceremonies include gentle humour to ease the nerves and relax everyone, especially the couple tying the knot.
