On Friday 21st September, we were honoured to perform our first Blessing for a same sex couple. This immediately followed their Civil Partnership in Kirkwall which they treated as a "paper" exercise, with our ritual as their "real wedding". The weather was gorgeous and the couple were so happy - we wish them every Blessing xxx
Today's wedding was covered by photographers from National Geographic Magazine - absolutely charming gentlemen and impreccably polite - can't wait to see their photos in print!
Today Wednesday 25 July 2012 the Scottish Government announced that they would bring forward a bill to allow same sex couples the right to a religious wedding! Excellent news. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-18981287
On Tuesday 3rd July, we performed our first ever ritual at the Standing Stones of Stenness. This was a beautiful renewal of vows ceremony performed with full handfasting and then the couple exchanged matching watches instead of rings! A photo of the altar is shown to the right. Helen xxx
Friday the 13th is proving a popular date for Pagan weddings! Yesterday we performed a ritual in the stunning location of Birsay cliffs - sunny but very windy, with the Atlantic Ocean crashing in it was incredibly elemental.
Hi Helen and Mark,

Also a happy anniversary to you both for today.
Lots of love and blessings
Lyz And Mark xxx
