If I can put the 'fun' into funerals (!) why can't I put the 'ding' into weddings!
A humanist wedding ceremony is a celebration; nothing short of a party.
A social event, a gathering, a fun activity, a memorable occasion; large and blousy, or quiet and intimate, with several guests, several hundred guests, or just the two of you (although I do need to be there too!)
Without the constraints or restrictions of a registrar-led or religious ceremony, you are free to explore what this wedding will really mean to you both. And that is where I can help. Your ideas and thoughts may not be fully-formed, they may seem extreme, or impossible, or you may have a full-blown powerpoint presentation to show me. Whatever it is, this is YOUR day - the time when you can do what you want, when you want, how you want and with who you want. (I feel I should put a disclaimer here, along the lines of “I cannot be held responsible for any damages etc…”)
Involve your family and friends as much or a little as you wish. Use their talents - music, singing, dancing, joke-telling, impressions - to punctuate the ceremony. Or don’t! Select your favourite inappropriate music to enter to, arrive on a unicycle, write your own vows to each other that may or may not contain swearing, select readings or poems that are significant to you both, and certainly train your beloved labrador to present me with your rings, or help with the hand-fasting!
I cannot wait to help you plan this most special of days, listen to what you want and offer some thoughts and ideas from my experience. To hear how you both met, how you fell in love, what your aspirations are for the future. Tell me everything and we can develop the most beautiful, meaningful ceremony, melding all the elements you want together, to create a unique ceremony that you will remember and treasure all your days.
Get in touch for an informal chat, see how we get on.
