Table Decorations Check these autumn/Halloween ta Table Decorations

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?

Thank you to D and E Who confirmed their booking Thank you to D and E

Who confirmed their booking with me last night for a venue I can't wait to see, Bachilton Barn in Perth.

Looking forward to getting to know them both, and after last night's call, I reckon we're going to have a lot of fun together

We vow 2025 has been a year for the Oathing Stone We vow

2025 has been a year for the Oathing Stone in my ceremonies, and it's a beautiful ritual to include in a ceremony.

The Oathing stone is where you both hold the stone, that you have chosen from somewhere important to you both, like a dog walk or a mountain hike, and you hold it whilst you say your vows.

Sharing vows is the heart of a ceremony, the part of the day when the couple makes promises to each other.

It is believed that holding the stone during the vows casts or sets those Vows in stone. 

And I often wonder if that's where the expression “You are my rock” or “Rock Solid relationship” comes from?

If you'd like to know more about an Oathing Stone you can read the blog here https://www.thecelebrantangel.com/the-oathing-stone-ritual/

Meet the Wilsons.. Evelyn and Allan got married o Meet the Wilsons..

Evelyn and Allan got married on Saturday at the stunning Union Kirk in Aberdeen.

Honestly, every time I'm in this wedding venue in Aberdeen, it blows my mind about its history, and those windows... WOW

This couple was a laugh from the minute we met, when it was just going to be them and their kids for their ceremony, but it turned out to be a few more than six people.🤣

I honestly have never laughed so much in my meetings as I did with these two, and I didn't expect the day to be any different; it didn't disappoint.

If you're getting married and still looking for a venue in Aberdeen, pop along and see the ladies at Union Kirk, they are amazing and so helpful.

We had Luke as the photographer on the day, a new lad breaking into weddings and I'm pretty sure you're going to know his name around Aberdeen soon; his photos are cracking.

Script day That's the day i get most nervous, alt Script day

That's the day i get most nervous, although the day itself is a close runner, but only because I want to give you the day you planned.

E & E sent through their thoughts last night on their 1st draft, so I'm happy they liked it.  And minor changes are the norm, could be dates, or the flow of how things happened and thats easy to change.

And not long till their big day now in another new location for me

When I get married....(When there's space in the d When I get married....(When there's space in the diary)

This is what you might have as your wedding meal, an afternoon Tea.

Scones, sandwiches and cakes, what better way to celebrate? 

This was a wee taster of what was to come at Caitlin and Cameron's wedding at a stunning house in Stonehaven.

And if that was before the ceremony, I'd love to know what they had for dinner.

Remembering them Weddings are such joyful occasio Remembering them

Weddings are such joyful occasions, and it’s natural to feel the absence of those who can’t be with us, whether that's because they can't make it or because they have passed.

Many couples choose to add little touches to their ceremony to honour loved ones who are missing from the ceremony.

You could light a candle, leave a chair left free, or mention them in the script; you could even carry something special that belonged to them. There are lots of different ways to remember them.

It doesn’t have to be heavy or sad, just a beautiful way of keeping their memory close as you begin this new chapter. 💛

I loved how Amy and Liam remembered those missing from their big day with their photos on display, it's always nice to put a name to a face.

How would you like to remember your loved ones on your wedding day?

Who says you can’t cry and laugh at the same tim Who says you can’t cry and laugh at the same time?

Weddings aren’t just about the “I do’s” – they’re about the moments in between.

Like the laughter when someone fluffs a line (and yes that does happen),

the tears when the vows are shared with your partner

and the little sparks of joy that remind us what the day is really about..... Love and being you.

I think a good wedding needs both tissues and giggles… preferably in equal measure!

This time of year Is when all the awards for wedd This time of year

Is when all the awards for wedding vendors start to happen around the country, and whilst it's lovely to be nominated, or win, at these awards..

This is what's most important to me, more than anything, the feedback I receive from my couples.

We had so much fun at Jodi and Barry's wedding that it will be in my memory bank forever.

Thank you so much for having me as your celebrant, and glad that everyone enjoyed it as much as we did.

Another first in 2025 Hilary and Jaime wanted to Another first in 2025

Hilary and Jaime wanted to involve their guests in their ceremony, and we found a couple of fun ways to do it.

But this one was a first for me, and I absolutely loved it!

Before anyone arrived, I secretly taped the wedding rings underneath two of the chairs.

With no seating plan in place, we had no idea who would end up sitting there, which made it even more exciting.

When I asked for the rings with a straight face, the boys got into a panic.

They thought H & J had them, someone else thought they had them, we left them like this for a few mins and then I said I knew where they were, and told them to look under their seats.

When the moment came, it was brilliant watching everyone check under their seats, and the two lucky guests got to play a special part in the ceremony.

Such a simple idea, but so much fun!
