12. CAN WE READ POEMS TO ONE ANOTHER?
Of course! That would be beautiful! If poetry is how you express your love for one another, please include your favourite poems. I've had couples read poems, adapt poems, write their own poems and prayers, read song lyrics to one another and listen or dance to meaningful music or music with heartfelt lyrics...

LAST MINUTE ELOPEMENT
I received an enquiry for a very short notice elopement in April this year. A couple travelling to Scotland from America for their friends’ marriage. They were planning to come to the Isle of Skye to climb the Inaccessible Pinnacle in the Cuillin (being avid climbers) and were wondering if I could hold a ceremony for them whilst they were here. My first step is always to meet with a couple (even before I take a booking) for us to confirm we’re all happy to work together, so

CRAZY DAISIES AND FLOWER CROWNS
I was so glad I accepted Nicola's invitation to visit @meadowsweetcroft yesterday in honour of British Flowers Week. Marvelling at the spikey leaved oaks, Nicola told me how 11 years ago and long before the vision of becoming Skye's first cut flower grower, she'd planted trees for shelter and winter colour in her garden. I've attempted to look up the variety, not remembering if she said European oaks... and not realising there are no less than 450 varieties of oak! Wandering

REFLECTING ON MY EMOTIONS
When I hold ceremony I feel like I'm always either laughing or crying! The tears often come from being connected... to Spirit... to those for whom the ceremony is for... from hearing a couple I'm marrying speak their heartfelt truths... And the laughter comes from everywhere... the wind blowing everything and everyone around... the giggly energy of opening to Spirit... the fairies... This photo was from a wedding ceremony with two gorgeous women last summer... although the p

A PILGRIMAGE
...to the well... in memory of a wonderful woman. Sonja Eckl, known to many as Ganga. She inspired me to do Ministry Training. She connected me with lots of amazing people, bringing together therapists and others in the Health Oasis. She trusted me with her weddings and other ceremonies when she wasn't well enough to do them... She was so loved by so many and blessed so many couples with ceremonies over the years. She's left a deep hole in the community. As there won't be a

AN ARTIST DATE
This morning I had a supervision session which brought up lots of feelings which have been hanging around the past couple of weeks... flat... joyless... unseen... invisible... alone... I started to go into the why... the 'becausing' as I call it... searching for the reasons... I'm less busy... my husband is super busy... my role at work has changed... blah blah blah... And then I read a post from my lovely friend @loveyourlifeinspirations about being in that place of searchin

A QUAKER STYLE WEDDING
I had the absolute joy of driving to Applecross to hold a beautiful Quaker style marriage ceremony. With a bigger guest list than any of my other ceremonies to date (usually wee elopements out in the elements) I was a little nervous, but this rainbow right outside my front door was a sign that all was well... that I was held! Oh and the prayer that was mysteriously on my lounge carpet this morning... a wee cutting someone had taken from the newspaper! The autumn colours on t

ALL YOU NEED FOR YOUR CEREMONY ON SKYE
I'm marrying a couple next month who are bringing a horn to use in their ceremony... in a ritual. They had someone making mead for it, but the seal broke and they found themselves meadless! I wondered if I could source them some Scottish mead. I found a producer, but then I wondered if I could source some here on the Isle of Skye. I put a message out on Instagram... no luck. And then I had an idea... mead is made from honey right? I put a post out on a local bee keepers grou
