“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

So happy to receive a sweet testimonial today from Esther and John. This marvellous and - by their own admission - quirky couple chose to celebrate their existing relationship and the heart-fulfilling fact that they discovered their love for one another at a time in life when they least expected it. In their words, they opted for an ‘Uncivil Partnership’, or a Life Commitment Ceremony.* * Their ceremony was brimming with personal touches including an awesome rendition of Nina Simone's 'Feeling Good' by a close friend, and one of the most make-you-laugh-while-you-weep exchange of loving words I've had the privilege of witnessing (not a dry eye in the house).* * A first for me was saying, "and you have chosen to replace your Handfasting ribbons with a rope..." The rope being an important symbol of their shared love and connection with the sea.* * The Sharing of the Quaich was personalised to include two beautiful brass pots of great emotional value to Esther. * * What an honour to be part of this wholesome, life-affirming and joyful day. Esther and John, I wish you both all the happiness and love. Thank you so much for inviting me to be your Celebrant 🌻🧡 * * #celebrateyourway #loveisall #agnosticscotland #lifepartnershipceremony #uncivilpartnership #edinburghcelebrant #scottishweddingcelebrant #edinburghweddingcelebrant #scottishcelebrant
