Your wedding day should be the happiest day of your lives and set the stage for your future together. Whether you're planning an epic production of a wedding, a small intimate ceremony or something in between, there are very few rules when planning a wedding performed by a humanist celebrant.
You can hold your ceremony anywhere, in a garden, in a field, in a woodland, at home, in a hotel or pub, in a hot air balloon, on a boat, anything is possible.
You can include symbolic acts such as hand-fasting, ring-warming, drinking from a quaich, candle lighting, sand blending, jumping the broom or anything else that you feel fits your occasion.
You can choose to write your own vows, incorporate readings/ poetry, include live or recorded music, songs, interpretative dance, whatever you like to make your wedding memorable, meaningful and to truly capture the love you both have for each other, now and for your future.
I am a retired university professor and now the landlord of the Horse and Groom Inn at Upper Oddington near Stow on the Wold in the Cotswolds. We regularly host weddings at the pub.
