Susan Young, Celebrant

They are all memorable... but just married Kane and Jess at St Anthony's chapel in Holyrood Park in Edinburgh. One word. INCREDIBLE. Check out my insta highlights for that amazing wedding.

Warm, engaging, concise, humorous, uplifting

Each ceremony I write is different, no two are the same and in that regard, I'm super proud.

Create a checklist and give each other tasks to do. Create an email address that you can both access that will be the main place for all the arrangements so nothing gets lost. Ask for help when you need it!

I love a wedding when dogs are involved, at one the couple's dog loved to take his dad's slippers everywhere, so he brought the rings in the slippers. So cute.

When you first get in touch, I like to find out about the ideas you have for your ceremony. Your personalities are what make a ceremony memorable by adding in all the things that make you unique. We start by meeting, getting the details right, follow up by going through my Wedding Kit which gives you everything you need to know to plan your day, we meet again to discuss and I'll then write a truly bespoke ceremony for you, this take a little bit of time and lots of chat, then we get you married!

Ooh heading outdoors somewhere, a hike up a hill or a forgotten chapel in the woods - they always have their challenges (weather) but nothing that a brolly and boots can't solve!

Get the details right, confirm and re-confirm and know that even if something doesn't quite go to plan, you are still there, with the people you love and that's what matters.

Spending time with people who are in love. Love truly does conquer all... it's also a HUGE privilege, I don't take it for granted.

The declaration of becoming husband and wife/wife-wife/husband-husband/partners for life. It's such a glorious moment!
