Leanne and Phil’s Wedding Day

by tca2023_1aq6g4 | Feb 10, 2023 | Love stories, real weddings

Leanne & Phil A Heartwarming Wedding This was a couples story that warmed the cockles of my heart. The story of a girl who didn’t think she deserved this much love. It’s a story of a couple who found each other by chance. A couple who believed...

The Smiley's/Machin's A couple of weeks ago, I ha The Smiley's/Machin's

A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of marrying two beautiful souls, Ruairidh and Tamara, for my first ceremony at Norwood Hall.

These two were a lot of fun to work with and had many firsts for me during their ceremony (more on those later).

It was a small, intimate ceremony attended by people they had played online with for six years, but never met, along with their close family and friends, and Ruairidh's childhood dog.

Wishing them lots of love and happiness for the future.

for booking me as their celebrant for their ceremony in The Winter Gardens next year.

It's been a busy week with enquiries for 2026 and 2027, 2026 is just about full, and the 2027 diary looking healthy to.

I have had to decline a few weddings as I'm already booked on their dates, so if you're looking for a celebrant, get them booked asap.

Looking forward to getting to know D & O over the next few months.

Let's talk Confetti or rather, confetti alternati Let's talk Confetti

or rather, confetti alternatives..

Confetti is lovely… until you end up with a mouthful of it as you do that group photo, or find it in your underwear later.

And many wedding venues these days don't allow confetti, so what options do you have if you can't use confetti?

I've looked at some of my favourite confetti alternatives here 

Bubbles - they look great in photos and won’t stick to your hair.

Ribbon wands - perfect for guests who like to wave without spilling their prosecco, and perfect for the kids

Dried flower petals – still romantic, still pretty, but kind to the planet.

Pom poms - soft, fun, and nobody ends up picking petals out of their bra. (I think this one has to be my favourite)

Did you have something different for your confetti shot?  Or seen any other alternatives?

As you all know, I love writing stories. And I lo As you all know,

I love writing stories. And I love writing blogs too.

It’s been a busy year, so I’ve not had much time to get many done.

But there’s a new one up on the website now.

It’s all about whether or not you need a wedding umbrella.

This summer we’ve hardly seen any, for rain anyway, the weather’s been so good this year.

But an umbrella isn’t only for rainy days on a wedding day.

Pop over for a read. And if you’ve not got your wedding umbrella yet, it might be time to order one.

I had the most amazing 3rd quarter of 2025 working I had the most amazing 3rd quarter of 2025 working with some amazing couples, vendors and venues.

There's nothing that makes me happier than seeing all those smiley faces on their wedding days, even though they start the day pretty nervous.

You can tell by the time the ceremony starts, they've settled in quite a bit, and these amazing photographers capture their emotions perfectly.

Dresses, kilts, cakes… and me

The Chester Hotel Wedding Exhibition is on Sunday, 26th October 2025

Think kilts, cakes, photo booths, singers, sparkly rings, dresses, and decor,  all in one place.

And me, your friendly celebrant, ready to help you create a ceremony that’s personal, legal, and full of heart (and maybe a few laughs).

Come meet me and some of the best local suppliers, and start planning a day you’ll never forget.

It’s free to come along, have a wander, and meet the team at The Chester; you won't be disappointed.

See ya there

Your story. These are just my thoughts for the lo Your story.

These are just my thoughts for the love story page of a wedding newspaper; feel free to make it your own.

But a tip from your celebrant....

Your guests will be reading this while waiting for you to arrive, and some of the juicy details will come out during the ceremony.

So maybe save the really good bits for then.

But I do love the numbers section – it’s brilliant!

And that's it from me, just some of the things you could add into your wedding day newspaper, there's heaps more that you could add to make it your own and have a beautiful keepsake, you could even use them as "favours".

Let me know if you had a newspaper; was there something in yours we've not discussed this week? We'd love to know.

Caught on Camera This is one I’d definitely hav Caught on Camera

This is one I’d definitely have on the day.  I can already picture the hilarious photos we’d be laughing at the next morning.

Sure, you could pop a camera challenge on a card at each table, but this way saves a few pennies.

Why not have an adult version and a separate one for the kids?

Give the kids wee cameras to play with, and they’ll be entertained all day. You’ll also get keepsakes they’ll treasure forever (or at least until bedtime).

Fits happening? Including your wedding day timeli Fits happening?

Including your wedding day timeline in your newspaper is a lifesaver.

Everyone knows where to be and when.

Ceremony, dinner, dancing, no excuses.

Although, to be honest, Auntie Jeannie will still need a gentle nudge in the right direction on the day.

Are you having a wedding timeline? Is it on a stand or in your wedding day newspaper?

Who's who? I think a wedding party also deserve a Who's who?

I think a wedding party also deserve a wee mention in the wedding newspaper, although Graham and I's wedding party need no introductions 😂

Guests get to put names to the well-dressed faces on the day,  and it saves Auntie Jean whispering, ‘Who’s that in the pink dress?’ all day.

They play a big part in your day, so it would be nice to give them a wee mention.

Where we off to in October? Off to some new venue Where we off to in October?

Off to some new venues this month, in fact, all of them are new to me this month.

 Looking forward to seeing my couples in all their finery and meeting the guests.

6 more weddings till the end of the year, been a busy, busy year and eternally grateful to all the couples who book me as their celebrant and take me to these wonderful venues.

Read all about it... Can someone cover Graham’s Read all about it...

Can someone cover Graham’s eyes before he sees this and thinks I’ve finally got round to planning our wedding? 😂😂
(He’ll probably kill me for that photo too 😁)

I’ve seen a few wedding day newspapers at my ceremonies this year, and think they are a cracking idea,  so I thought I’d share what I’d include in mine, just to give you an idea of what you can include.

Remember, they will be reading these as they wait for you to arrive, so you don't want to give too much away about your actual story in here, or you will be duplicating the script in some bits.

I think I'd start with a wee thank you note to our guests, something like this, short and sweet. 

You don't want it to be War and Peace, but it's nice to see something personal from the couple when they open the paper.

No M & S chocolate muffin for me today Just 3 day No M & S chocolate muffin for me today

Just 3 days with double trouble in the caravan, wish me luck.😁

I may need a muffin to help me recover on Sunday, though 😅

Thank you to S&M for the feedback on their script. Thank you to S&M for the feedback on their script.

I’m always on tenderhooks when I send them out, hoping they like what we’ve created, and it’s never just me that creates the story. It’s all three of us.

I put into words what they’ve told me and what I’ve noticed, but it takes all of us to shape it into something perfect for the big day.

I do love writing a story though.

I once got into trouble at work for trying to explain something in an email. The guy said, “We didn’t need a story.” Looks like I’ve been writing them for a long time. 😂 These are much more fun though 😇

Not long till the big day now for S&M

It does happen.. When a couple says, "Let's not s It does happen..

When a couple says, "Let's not see it before the day; we trust you know what we like," it’s a huge compliment.

I get to know you both in our meetings, and I can usually judge perfectly the kind and amount of humour you want, or if you prefer a traditional ceremony.

That trust is an absolute honour, but I have to admit it makes me slightly nervous. I’m happy for you to review the script when it’s ready.

I do ask that you don’t show it to anyone.

Keep it for the big day so everyone can enjoy it.

Sharing it might mean someone else doesn't like the style you’ve chosen and will give you some grief, but this is your day, your way.
