I have been married for over 25 years. I have two wonderful grown-up children (who have now flown the nest). I live in Northern Ireland with my husband, Jeff. I’ve two cats…Lily and Lola.
I became a Humanist celebrant a few years ago and joined a small band of fellow celebrants here in Northern Ireland.
It’s long been my view that, increasingly, couples don’t want religion to be centre-stage on their wedding day. Instead, they want the focus to be on their love and relationship and family bonds.
My role is to act as the celebrant – providing you with the structure, words and emotional engagement that’ll make your day very special and memorable for you and and your guests. And, since the recent change in the law in Northern Ireland, I can also legally marry you as well – there’s no longer a need for separate registry office proceedings. In short, my aim is to ensure a lovely, memorable day designed around the two of you.
Celebrating with You
Your wedding day is special. My role is to make sure that the story of you-two is told in a way that you want. We’re not bound by rules or scriptures…rather we want to make sure that everyone hears about your love, how you met, and how you plan to live your life together.
My role is to work with you to make your day beautiful, emotional and happy. And, since the recent change in the law in Northern Ireland, I can also legally marry you almost anywhere - I can tell you more when we meet.
Your Story
Your wedding day is an opportunity to tell your story – but in a way that allows you to express your commitment to each other in front of those you most want to be there: your friends and family. As a Humanist it’s my role to help you celebrate your story in the way that you want. Typically this means creating a structure for the celebration that’s customised for every couple and reflects your personalities.
Celebration
As a Humanists UK Celebrant I’m now permitted to conduct legal wedding ceremonies in Northern Ireland. But the focus is and always has been on celebration: of two people looking forward to a life together. When we meet we can discuss just how we’ll make your day special, personal to you both, and one to remember.
