Same-sex weddings are no different to opposite-sex weddings in that both are about the love two people have for one another and involve making a public commitment in front of friends and family. We know that love is love — and we celebrate it!
All Humanist Ceremonies weddings celebrants conduct same-sex weddings, so you don’t need to ask — it’s a given.
In Northern Ireland and Jersey, Humanist Ceremonies celebrants can conduct legally recognised humanist same-sex weddings. (We’re working on getting humanist weddings to be legally recognised in England and Wales. We’ll keep you posted!)
Today, we’re celebrating LGBT weddings with a look back over some of our favourite photos.
This fabulous photo of Kayleigh and Lisa proudly featured in our billboard campaign promoting the legalisation of same-sex in Northern Ireland. You can almost feel the happiness radiating from them!
And in this one too!

…but it was this photo of them after the ceremony that stole our hearts last year.
