The challenges of having a Humanist wedding in the UK (from an officiant’s perspective!)
In the UK, it isn’t easy to have a secular wedding. Religious weddings have a section focusing on the couple, but there’s also a big focus on their religion. With 71% of young people in Britain describing themselves as non-religious, this isn’t preferred for a lot of couples.
Here are the challenges of having a Humanist wedding in the UK…
Two stunning grooms at this Cowley Manor wedding
We aren’t often privy to the speeches and vows at weddings (mostly photos around here!), but when we are, we have to be prepared to be blown away. And in the case of these two gorgeous grooms and their Cowley Manor wedding in the UK, it was just masses of tears.
Both of them slayed their vows and speeches (both funny and sweet as hell!), and YOU get to see it, too!
Beaches, bunnies, & a first performance at this youth hostel wedding in England
Nicola & Lewis’ laid-back beach wedding quite literally rocked with live music, their pet bunny, hot chocolate and marshmallows, fire pits, and so much more. The setting was the Yorkshire coastline which somehow transported us to what looked like a tropical location but was actually a destination wedding at the Boggle Hole, just south of Whitby in England.
Nicola and Lewis got married on the beach in front of their friends and family, they played a song together in place of a first dance, before heading to their reception at the pirate-themed youth hostel, the Boggle Hole YHA.
It’s not a pirate sword fighting wedding without vegan food and blue hair!
Ahoy! ‘Tis Talk Like a Pirate Day ‘n have we got a pirate weddin’ fer ye. It’s two lovebirds who also love sword fighting, piñatas, and pirates. There was pirate trivia, amazing costumes, and even a horse entrance (well, almost!). You’ll drop your land lubber status for this pirates and sword fighting wedding.
