Bolton Castle Humanist Wedding, Wensleydale | Jo + Sam
Jo and Sam’s humanist wedding ceremony at the stunning Bolton Castle in Wensleydale was such a joyful day.
Already interested in Humanism, Sam and Jo were very keen to get the most out of their ceremony, fully committing to the process and enjoying creating it so much. With a really strong script in place as a result, by the time the day came around it’s fair to say all three of us were really excited about its delivery. Bolton Castle has such a presence, both inside and out, which created a real sense of anticipation as family and friends arrived. The couple’s pick of colourful floristry and decorative touches only added to the sense of occasion.
Having welcomed their guests, emphasizing how much their presence meant, our ‘Story so far’ then focused on the wonderful dynamic between Jo and Sam, how they complement each other so well and laugh together so much. Their full repetition vows set out how they mean to share their lives, their ring exchange the ultimate symbol of their commitment to approach everything together, no matter what the future may hold. The words were so authentically Sam and Jo, there were a fair few tears amongst family and friends.
In their testimonial below the couple explain how their ceremony set the tone for the rest of their day.
‘Thank you SO much for everything. You’re brilliant – the humanist ceremony was everything we could have wished for.
So many people told us it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever been a part of. So much laughter and joy, and the odd tear! The perfect mix of love, sincerity and humour.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. We’re so grateful to you for marrying us! And for kick starting the day and setting the tone for the rest of the celebrations. It was magical.
Lots of love,
Jo and Sam xxx’
‘We can’t thank you enough. Thank you for sorting us all out and managing the ceremony; thank you for such a warm, funny and intimate ceremony; thank you for all your reassurance and care with us all. Sam’
