"As you might know Humanists don’t have a book of rules that says what a marriage should be, understanding that each marriage is as individual as the couple who are making it their own... 

Zach and Harriet believe a marriage is like a good walk in the hills: 
Before you leave the house you have to plan your route, make sure you have all you need and taking a good friend for the company. 

But no matter how hard you plan your journey sometimes the unexpected happens or the situation changes and it is at this point that you have to not be afraid to change your plan. 
The walk won’t always be easy and there will be plenty of hard work required but you know how good it feels when you are standing at the top of the hill. 

Sometimes you might even get lost, tired or hungry but you know you can never give up and support one another when they are finding it tough. 
And if the worst should happen and you need help then never be afraid to call for it. 
You need courage, ambition, motivation, communication and a little bit of crazy too, but you know that it will all be worth it in the end. 
However unlike a walk Harriet and Zach plan their marriage to have no ETA, no plan to return and no escape route ... they have all they need to wander over the hilltops and through the glens of marriage for the rest of their lives together."

The day was just about perfect as far as we were concerned and you were a major part of that. 

We have had loads of people commenting on how great you were and how ideally suited you were to the type of wedding we wanted to have.  

I think people genuinely enjoyed the ceremony (which is not always the case at some weddings!), just the right mixture of laughs and more emotional bits. 

Your advice and help in creating the ceremony was fantastic and we are really glad that we chose you as our celebrant.

Don't tell the Bride!

John & Jackie Clark at Strathallan Castle...who brought me three of the craziest weeks of my life as we got ready for and filmed 'Don't tell the Bride'. My only irritation with the show was that John of course wrote the ceremony with me - as well as organising everything else,  and they never gave him any credit for the huge amount of work he did on that side of the planning, and at that time he was the first groom to have had to do so on the series...and I thought he did a brilliant job of it!
