Please note, however, that unlike Wales and Scotland, if you are having a Humanist Wedding ceremony in England it is not a legal marriage ceremony in itself. You still have to go to the Registry Office for the legal documentation afterwards (or before).

I feel a similar way, Otta - even though I'm an atheist, I personally feel no need to be a part of some wider ideology.


Still, each to their own, freedom of expression and all that. If somebody wants to identify themselves as a humanist, it's no skin off my nose.

Ha - you're welcome to hijack! Our issue is trying to arrange some sort of ceremony to celebrate our marriage in front of lots of people who cannot come to the actual legal ceremony...oh and wanting to do something for our daughter. It's a tricky one! Any ideas are welcome :)

My brother and his partner had naming ceremonies for their children.


I'm not sure where they got the last person they used, but she mis-pronounced one of the children's names throughout the whole ceremony! Although apparently they had met her beforehand and talked the whole thing through with her including the names!


Jennyh, had you considered just making up your own ceremony and doing it yourselves? It would be very personal then to yourselves and your friends.

I can recommend Rosemary Taylorson who did our wedding ceremony in 2010. - http://www.rosemaryceremonies.co.uk/ She's SW London based & we had our ceremony at Bush Hall in Shepherds Bush.


We wrote our own vows and were able to create a truly personal ceremony which was great.

    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
