This morning I reached another special milestone as I took my 199th and then 200th wedding bookings!
This time two years ago I had only just conducted my very first wedding, and was getting ready to conduct my second, in Glasgow's beautiful House For An Art Lover. The day before Hogmanay this year I'm making a return journey there, this time to conduct the marriage of a lovely former work colleague of mine. I'm so looking forward to helping this fab couple tie the knot in what will be my final wedding of 2024.
The past two years have absolutely flown by, and I feel like I've hardly come up for air, but, do you know what?... I absolutely ADORE the very privileged job that I get to to do, and I honestly wouldn't have it any other way!
2024 also saw a massive upturn in the number of funerals I was asked to conduct, including two for well-loved former work colleagues and another for a dear friend. More recently I was asked to lead the funeral of an 11 day old baby. Such a heartbreaking time for his young parents and the extended family and friends, but being able to share his story and speak about the wonderful memories that his family made in their very short time together was so special, and I know that day will always stay with me.
Thanks to all of my couples, families, friends and colleagues who have been part of this wonderful journey that I'm on over the past year. I hope everyone has a lovely time over the festive season, and that 2025 brings us as all peace, joy and contentment.
With much love
