Rivington Hall Barn Humanist Wedding | Neave + Patrick
Neave and Patrick’s humanist wedding ceremony in the charming gardens of Rivington Hall Barn in Lancashire was one of those perfect summer weddings clients (and Celebrants) dream about. Since they love nature so much, it was the ideal setting for the couple, which meant we were already off to a great start.
Having begun as childhood sweethearts, first becoming boyfriend and girlfriend on the way to a Spanish class 13 years before, it was an honour to tell Patrick and Neave’s love story. Growing up together, they had shared a vision of their future which they were now living, and that’s a powerful theme for any script. They chose mirror image statement vows, setting out the promises they wanted to underpin their everyday life together, followed by a full repetition ring exchange as a symbol of their completeness.
Neave and Patrick’s testimonial below will hopefully give you a sense of how much their bespoke wedding ceremony meant to them.
‘The ceremony for me and Patrick was the most special part of the day.
We chose to have a humanist ceremony. The weather was so hit and miss that I didn’t find out the ceremony was outside until I got there. It was lead by Celebrant Hannah Wroe Gill who built our beautiful, bespoke ceremony. She helped us write our vows and create something which we will cherish forever.
Our ceremony was US, it was about our 13 years together so far, how we have grown and how much we love each other. She made our family and friends laugh and cry not least me and Patrick.
We had ‘I Wanna Be Yours’ read by Patrick’s brother Owen and ‘Friendship’ read by my friend Laura – both were special moments during the ceremony. We also did Hand-fasting accompanied by a beautiful reading from my brother Liam called ‘These are the hands’.’ (Extract from their entry on the ‘Rock My Wedding’ site)
‘Thank you for the script of the day. We will cherish it. Thank you again for all the work you did for us and for being a part of making our day so extremely amazing. Kind regards, Neave’ (Email afterwards)
