"Michelle was our celebrant and from meeting her at a wedding fayre, all the way up to our wedding day we felt very at ease with her and well supported. Michelle got to know us really well and gave us so much inspiration for our ceremony. The script she put together was very 'us' and our guests have told us they laughed and cried in equal amounts!"

Choosing a celebrant to officiate your wedding is a fantastic way to enjoy a ceremony that truly reflects your personality and love story.

It’s an exciting prospect. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that offers that little bit extra, then look no further than the staggeringly beautiful Camblesforth Hall. This Grade 1 listed, Georgian home and wedding venue, in the heart of North Yorkshire, dates back to 1690. Hidden behind some beautiful gates in a little village outside of York, this stunning property has an air of historic elegance. You might say it sort of bridges the gap between more traditional and more modern wedding venues.

Handfasting can be traced back to ancient Celtic traditions, where couples would publicly declare their intention to marry by binding their hands together with ribbons or cords. This act symbolised their commitment, unity, and the joining of two families. Over the years, handfasting has evolved and adapted to different cultures and beliefs, and today it remains a cherished ceremony in many modern weddings.

Arriving by car on Sunday afternoon, we immediately wound down the windows to soak up the party-like atmosphere welcoming us from inside and outside the barn. Live music with a fabulous singer and saxophonist, a welcome glass of prosecco and fairy lights which adorned the lake and its sitting ducks, were a glorious sight. Not to sound too dramatic, but with the trees bursting with new leaves, spring flowers in full bloom and the sound of Paul Simon blasting from the speakers, it felt as if Yorkshire had been reborn!

I recently started reading Michelle O’bama’s book: The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times. As she states herself, it’s part self help (I am a sucker for a self help book) and part memoir (I devoured her first memoir Becoming, during lockdown) and I’m already hooked. Michelle offers words of wisdom and encouragement on daily struggles we will all encounter at some point and quite frankly, I’m keen to become her BFF.

Quite early on in the book, she talks about feeling nervous when embarking on a new adventure-she talks candidly about how she wanted to say no, when Barak asked if he could stand for president. In the early chapter she says:

‘There’s no getting around the fact that our nerves will ride shotgun with us pretty much any time we approach the unfamiliar, anytime we move into a new frontier and feel the stakes get bumped as a result…who doesn’t bring a spoonful of fear to the first day of a new job? … Or on a first date?’

She goes on to say: ‘These are moments of distinct discomfort…but they can be thrilling too.

Why? Because we don’t know what lies on the other side of that initial experience. The journey to get to it might just be transformative….How will you meet your soulmate if you don’t go on that date?
