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.

    • A long overdue review for Niko who we have used a number of times over the years, sometimes to properly finish a job that other plumbers have not done properly. He thinks of everything! I only ever use another plumber if it's urgent and Niko is away. A really kind and thoughtful man and totally trustworthy 
    • At the time of posting previously, we had no idea of the dates we would be having the children. The maths place - you pay for a course of lessons . The coding session would be good but you need to book well in advance. Also grandson has been doing coding since 6 years old. He now has a 'mentoring role' at his primary school as his knowledge of this subject is years above his chronological age. Dates are still up in the air as their father is trying to juggle leave from a new job in the north of the country. 
    • why not have a pasty shop - we could have Cornish pasties, Jamaican patties, empanadas from all the different regions.... I like all three.  I'm still going to support the Chacarero family business, as I don't support chains, just as I don't buy anything from Gail's, Nero, Starbucks etc.
    • Thought it had been a fish and chip shop at one time?
