Oh...my...heart! These stunning photos by @jonnieandgarrett beautifully capture the loved-up JOY of these two awesome people. Massive congratulations to Kira and James Maclean... here’s wishing you many more magical adventures, boundless laughter and happily ever after. I loved being your Wedding Celebrant. Thank you 🙏🏻🥰* * See link in bio for all the sweet personal touches in Kira and James’ ceremony 💗* * #celebrateyourway #loveisall #edinburghcelebrant #edinburghweddingcelebrant #scottishwedding #agnosticscotland

For those who couldn't make it along to the Agnostic Scotland Launch Event on 28th November, here's how the evening bloomed... * 🌿 Our fabulous chairperson, Linda, gave an opening speech and shared our plans for Agnostic Scotland. Onie talked about setting up a belief body around Agnosticism and our philosophy. Andrea invited everyone to take part in a gorgeous ritual by dressing the Agnostic Scotland Clootie Tree - a sweet apple tree she had nurtured from a pip in her garden in Portobello. * 🌿 We shared delicious food, great conversations and homemade 'sparkly' fizz with all the wonderful celebrants, clients, friends and interested people who joined us. Everyone took part in the Clootie tree ritual by first soaking their cloots in the seawater, then tying them to the branches of the apple tree and sending an intention, prayer, blessing, merit into the universe.* 🌿 Lesley Walker sang a glorious and heartfelt rendition of Freedom Come Ye All. She was absolutely incredible and made four people weep with her beautiful performance. It was the perfect way to wrap up our Launch Ceremony - after all, a ceremony isn't a ceremony without both laughter and tears. Thank you, Lesley! * 🌿 And thank you to Laura Kate McLean for these super photos. Huge thanks also to all the incredible people who volunteered their time and help on the launch night. We are so grateful!* 🌿 The Agnostic Scotland Clootie Tree is now at home in Portobello with everyone's cloots attached. And we are super stoked for what 2020 will bring. Yay! * ❤️🌿 @soulful.celebrant @celebrantlinda @agnosticscotland @lauramcleannn * 🌿 #bringingfolktogether #loveisall #yourceremonyyourway #werespectyourbeliefs #agnosticscotland #agnosticscotlandlaunch

Every now and then, you cross paths with people who are meant to be in your life. I feel this way about my two fellow Agnostic Scotland founders, Linda Keys and Andrea Taylor. ❤️🌿 Reflecting back on the Agnostic Scotland Launch, I'm pretty proud of what we've already achieved and oh-so-excited for the adventures to come. ❤️🌿 I'd love to introduce you to my colleagues and our plans for Agnostic Scotland: see link in bio. ❤️🌿 Photo by Laura Kate McLean - thanks so much!* @lauramcleannn* #celebrateyourway #loveisall #peoplecentredceremonies #werespectyourvalues #agnosticscotland

“Petit coeur little heart we are where we are meant to be, you fit like a glove, skin to skin, heart to heart on a course flying free, now as three" [extract of a beautiful poem written for Bo by Bo's mother]* * All the uniquely personal elements in Bo’s soul-nourishing welcome-to-the-world ceremony today made my spirits soar. A special candle was passed from friend to friend as the beautiful Karine Polwart song, 'Beo', played. As each person held the light, they were invited to hold in their mind and hearts a loving thought for Bo and his parents. A song was sung to acoustic guitar and a poem recited with love - both written especially for Bo by close family friends. * * Rose petals gathered from a bouquet that had been gifted to Bo's parents on the day of his birth were shared among the gathering and gently showered around the little boy as his name was declared to the world. * * A Native American ritual to greet the cardinal points, North-South-East-West, invited everyone present to set their own unique and personal intentions as they become Bo's teachers, guides and mentors. Bo's parents lead a gorgeous ritual to honour the Earth and all her elements and to request their protection for Bo as he grows.* * And a glorious a capella song was sung by all, 'To you we sing and happiness we bring to celebrate your birth, an angel here on Earth'. All centred around a gorgeous handmade blessing wreath to which everyone was welcome to attach their own written words of blessing for Bo throughout the day's celebrations. * * Bo’s wonderful doula, who was present at his birth, said to me after the ceremony, “If only we were all of us greeted into the world this way...” I couldn’t agree more ❤️* * * #celebrateyourway #everyfamilyisunique #loveisall #edinburghcelebrant #scottishcelebrant #namingceremonyedinburgh #namingceremonyscotland #welcometotheworldcelebrations #worldrituals #findyourownway #agnosticscotland

Always an honour to revisit the gorgeous Carlowrie Castle, historic family home to the inspirational female Arctic explorer, Isobel Wylie Hutchison. And never more so than today, for the fun-loving wedding of travel-seekers, Kira and James 🧳 👣🌎* * Some sweet touches chosen by the bride and groom including an American-style line up of bridesmaids and groomsmen to each side of the couple, an adaptation of the traditional handfasting where James and Kira quite literally tied the knot together then held it up for all to admire (a first for me), and a Chinese Love Poem read in both Cantonese and English by Kira’s mother and grandmother. Beautiful!* * Congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Maclean 🥂 I loved planning your ceremony with you and it was an honour to lead it today. Wishing you many more magical adventures to come. * * Super also to see Ailsa, Cassandra and the ace Carlowrie Events Team whizzing about. And a pleasure to meet photographer couple @jonnieandgarrett and videographer, Hannah @gione.silva 🙌🏻 Can’t wait to see the pics 👀* * #celebrateyourway #loveisall #getmarriedinscotland #agnosticscotland #handfastingceremony #edinburghcelebrant #scottishweddingcelebrant #edinburghweddingcelebrant #scottishcelebrant #carlowriecastle
