Just a wee reminder of the Open Day at Chester Dr Just a wee reminder of the Open Day at Chester

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.

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.

How does it work? One of the first questions coup How does it work?

One of the first questions couples ask me is, “Do we see the script?”

Yes, you absolutely do, but you don't have to (more on that later this week)

I send it to you so you know exactly what’s coming.

It takes away the mystery and usually settles a bride’s nerves. No unexpected surprises.

And when you read it, that’s often the moment it hits you.....

This is real. It’s happening.

I love to hear how my couples find their ceremony.. once they've had a read

Have I got their story right? Is there enough humour in it? Are we missing anything?

And once we make any changes, if needed, then I'll ask you to bin it so that you don't keep reading it.  Makes for more fun on the day when you hear it back again from me, which is always a bit different from how you read it on paper.

Check these autumn/Halloween table decorations, they are so cute and a nice, cheap option that you can do yourself.

Anyone having a Halloween wedding, are you using any pumpkins for your decor?

All that scooping out of the pumpkin would give you cracking soup ingredients to 😁

What's my superpower? I have a few if you listen What's my superpower?

I have a few if you listen to my couples

I keep couples calm
their story centre stage, and the ceremony running smoothly.

I might make them laugh,
I definitely handle the forms,
and
I promise they'll leave with memories, not panic attacks.

And that's what happened with Sue and Bruce on the build-up to the day and on the day at their Wedding at the stunning church at Drum Castle.

You got a superpower?
