Having a wee holiday,after my daughter's wedding celebrations, here in Lake Garda.

Apologies if I haven't replied to your email, unless it's important I'll get back to you once I'm home.

Still on a high and loving being here in this beautiful and calm part of the world. The far east still has my heart but this is a close runner up with the added advantage of being a short flight away.

A wee reminder to my July couples, M10 forms should have been submitted.

Much love to all x💕☀️

What a day ❤️@

As an authorised celebrant in Scotland, I’ve had the privilege of conducting hundreds of ceremonies but marrying my own daughter Jade-Marie to my new son in law Scott in beautiful Edinburgh really was such a special day.

It was such an emotional, love-filled day. Jade-Marie looked absolutely stunning as I knew she would and the whole ceremony felt so personal, peaceful, fun and full of heart. There were lots of tears, including mine, and lots of laughter too.
Jade-Marie and Scott wrote their own vows and kept them secret from each other until the ceremony. Hearing them for the first time was incredibly moving. Their words were just beautiful and I honestly struggled to keep it together and to be honest I didn't, I was so tearful and emotional. Although I had read them a few times and thought I had exhausted my tears, I was wrong, I just couldn't help it.

At one point I completely stepped out of my celebrant role and just spoke as Mum about Jade-Marie growing up and yes the tears started again. Then I spoke on behalf of Scott's mum sharing lovely memories of him as a child too. There were tears everywhere.

And when I finally pronounced them husband and wife, everyone burst into cheering and applause ❤️

A day I’ll never forget and a memory I’ll treasure forever. So proud. So happy. So emotional.

Congratulations Jade-Marie and Scott. A beautiful day for the most beautiful couple. You both deserve every happiness in life.

Much love to you both. Mum ###

Can't quite believe I'm conducting the marriage of my beautiful daughter this Saturday. Read my script over last night and was in pieces, I know I won't be able to completely carry myself through the ceremony without tears, however, I'm the mother of the bride and I'm giving myself permission to be emotional.
It's going to be a magical day. I'm a super proud mum and I know, because I've seen her, that she's going to be the most beautiful bride. Scott, you're one hell of a lucky man. Excited doesn't come close x

Don't usually post about funerals but what a month so far. Most funerals I conduct are for families who have requested me to conduct the ceremony of their loved one, and what an absolute honour and privilege it is. This month I must admit to being emotionally drained. One ceremony for a neighbour and a dear, dear friend was difficult and yesterday's ceremony for a young man, whose marriage ceremony I conducted in 2024, and who sadly died having fought Motor Neurone Disease with such determination and courage, was so very emotional. After the graveside ceremony which was attended by hundreds I broke down in my car. Life can be so cruel. Love hard, appreciate what you have, live life every day and be unapologetically you. Health is wealth and in this role you realise that life can change in an instant. Count your blessings everyone. Much love x❤️

Aileen was an exceptional celebrant for our wedding in September, and we couldn’t have hoped for anyone better. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand us as a couple—our story, our humour, and the tone we wanted for the day. She listened closely and crafted a ceremony that felt deeply personal, warm, and genuinely us.
On the day itself, she was outstanding. Aileen spoke with confidence and kindness, guiding the ceremony with a calm presence that immediately put everyone at ease. She captured our feelings beautifully in her words, and she struck the perfect balance between heartfelt and light-hearted. Several of our guests commented afterwards that it was one of the most meaningful and engaging ceremonies they’d ever attended.
Both of our families were absolutely delighted with her. Aileen made everyone feel welcome and included, and her professionalism shone through in every detail. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough—if you’re looking for a celebrant who brings warmth, sincerity, and a real personal touch to your wedding, Aileen is the perfect choice.
