It is truly wonderful news that after so many years of campaigning that legislation in England, Wales and Scotland now allows for Same Sex Marriages.
“Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.”
- James Baldwin
However, a Same Sex marriage in either a registry office or in an approved venue will generally be the process of registration, delivered by a registrar who is unfamiliar with you as you will have never met before. The wording will follow a fairly standard format and will be repeated for every couple getting married on that day and every other day.
If you would like your legal marriage registration to be followed by a beautiful personalised ceremony then please read on...
As an Independent Civil Celebrant I’m not governed by the strict rules and regulations which registrars find themselves having to abide by - with a celebrant led ceremony there are no restrictions - you make the rules so you really can have your dream wedding day! The day is only limited by your imagination!
My Wedding services involve curating and conducting intentional, authentic, personal ceremonies that are unforgettable! I will help you express your commitment to each other with symbolism and sparkle, making your wedding day truly unforgettable. My wedding scripts are bursting with love, laughter, tears and applause which will take your guests with you on your personal journey and set the tone for the rest of your special day. It will be a ceremony that your guests shall remember, your family shall always look back on with fondness and smiles, and it shall be the best first page of the first chapter of your married life! We will create a ceremony together which captures your love, your life, your journey together so far, and your aspirations for the future.
​
At the heart of your wedding ceremony lie the promises you make to each other - that is the foundation of your ceremony. You can choose to write your own vows, making personal promises to one another which will help you feel more relaxed than you could have ever imagined was possible and all of those pre-wedding tensions and stresses will just melt away, allowing you both to fully enjoy your ceremony.
​
Weddings are one of the few parts of modern life where meaning is still bound up in ritual.
If you want to enrich your ceremony with meaningful symbolic rituals, we can include the more traditional ones such as hand-fasting, sand ceremonies or unity candles, or you are welcome to create your own. The most important thing is to include whatever feels right for you both.
​
* IMPORTANT – I AM A CELEBRANT AND NOT A REGISTRAR, AND THEREFORE FOR YOUR MARRIAGE TO BE RECOGNISED IN LAW, YOU MUST COMPLETE THE LEGAL FORMALITIES AT A REGISTRY OFFICE PRIOR TO THE CEREMONY. (This is usually takes place at an earlier time the same day or the day before).
​
If you feel that I am the right person to create your Wedding Ceremony, I would love to meet with you, get to know your love story and work with you to craft your proposed ceremony and enable you to have the day you always dreamed of!
