Dave & Nat take the plunge...

A bungee Jump after the ceremony was conducted…and no, not a wedding I expect to see many repeats of...but I cannot say that it wasn't fun! Once I'd got over the trauma of the height when we had a visit a few months before the day, I actually really enjoyed being up there...although the risk of me jumping was absolutely zero!

Dave and Nat were from south of the border, and decided to get married up here in Perthshire in part because they just really love it, but also because they cannot have a Humanist wedding in a meaningful place and way for them at home in England.

I don’t know the numbers, but between us all the Celebrants of the Humanist Society Scotland must do load of ceremonies for folk who have come here especially to have a Humanist wedding, write their own vows and make the ceremony what THEY want it to be, rather than what anyone else says they should have...and if that includes jumping off a platform together as your first act as a married couple, then I say go for it!

Thank you very much!  It was a beautiful day for all of us. 

Everything went to plan, and everybody had a brilliant time. The ceremony went brilliantly, everybody really enjoyed the personal touches, and the weather certainly played its part too. 

We couldn't have wished for anything more. A big thank you to you!!

we loved her on our first meeting 

 as she was so laid back 

so it set the mood from the get go."

Our grooms: Marc and Jordon! 

With hand-painted 'tux' glasses. (All the guests

got one.  Not just for the fizz, but to take home, too.)

Centre stage was the cake...surrounded by 

the Groomsmaids' bouquets.  The ladies looked 

amazing, all dressed in black, their flowers

setting the rainbow-colour theme.

 

The ultimate village hall transformation, 

each table in one of the theme colours.  

Talk about attention to detail!

Hi Jane, 

Really a heartfelt thank you from both of us on the ceremony, so many people were really touched at how personal and fitting it was and you brought a great sense of fun and calmness to the whole proceedings,  as well as some great adaptability to the weather!! And of course managing to help Sarah through her vows without the dreaded tears! 

Thanks again for helping us make it such a special ceremony which really set a great tone for a fabulous, and a little wild party to follow! 

Jamie & Sarah.
