Stories from the front of the room.
Every ceremony I lead is written from scratch, so no two are alike. These are the full stories — how the couples met, what they chose, what the day was really like — and below them, moments from many more. If you are planning your own, steal freely.
Burak & Duygu
Two friends from the same Cyprus classroom, a proposal by self-programmed drone, a Turkish welcome and a ring warming round the whole chapel.
Martha & Gavin
A cowboy and Dolly Parton on the first date, a rat's funeral on the third, and a quaich the groom's dad carved by hand.
Egle & John
A fireman's hat on the first date, a proposal with a ring made of three carrots, amber on every seat and a dog in charge of the rings.
Kyle & Kirsty
Two Freshers' Week pals who took years to admit it. A quaich, a handfasting, a proposal involving a Lidl bag, and a 90-year-old flower girl.
Becky & Tom
Two copywriters who met over words and fell in love over films, married on the red carpet in Cinema 2 — popcorn on every seat.
Colin & Lisa Marie
Met on a bus to RockNess, a babygrow proposal on Christmas Eve, thirteen years engaged — and married at last under the mountains of Glencoe.
Barry & Deborah
Two blended families, a sand ceremony poured from Stevenston and Saltcoats, and a proposal made over Facebook Messenger from Canada.
Rebecca & Cameron
A Clapham pub, a Krakow proposal, and a quaich poured by a dad and an uncle — our first Edinburgh wedding.
Andrew & Alicia
A lost phone, a LinkedIn reunion, a compass-ring proposal in Finnieston, and a handfasting with two tartans.
Chris & David
Twenty-five years in the making since a Directory Enquiries call centre, an Etta James entrance, and rings carried in on a Jack Russell's collar.
Aimee & Ollie
A violin down the aisle, a quaich toast, Roger Moore's double in the front row — and a two-word proposal in a secret Prague garden.
Stuart & Rebecca
A handfasting under Alasdair Gray's painted sky, a Tinder date gone gloriously wrong — and a bride finally free of spelling S-O-O-M-A-N to call centres.
Laura & Marc
A handfasting on white Hebridean sand, morning letters instead of vows — and Gelert the greyhound delivering the rings on his collar.
Emily & Gill
Two brides, gin in the quaich, rings warmed by every hand in the room — and a love story that began with maths worksheets and Neighbours.
Nicole & Andy
Pipes at the door, Wild Mountain Thyme down the aisle, a quaich of two family tipples — and a proposal on skis at sunset in Norway.
Christine & Stewart
Two malts in the quaich, two tartans in the handfasting, a blended family front and centre — and a first date that lasted nine hours.
Sarah & Chris
Two families flown in from Canada, a tartan handfasting for the new clan — and an engagement by helicopter on a mountaintop.
Laura & Chris
The Velvet Underground down the aisle, Carver and bell hooks readings — and an engagement five years to the day after the first date.
Kirsty & Andrew
Desks twenty feet apart at work, a Tinder super like, and a proposal interrupted by a taxi horn — sealed with a tartan handfasting stitched with their names.
Frances & Kevin
A Match.com match on Kevin's last roll of the dice, a spicy-ramen first date, and a proposal met with "I am watching the Bake Off!"
