I also wondered to myself ‘so what is this thing they call Humanism’?
I looked into it and was surprised that I’d probably been a Humanist all my life but just not realised it.
I learned that it stands for living your life as a good person, making the most of the one life we’ve got.
Demonstrating values of decency, tolerance and kindness to others as well as promoting equality.
I quickly decided that I wanted to help other couples to experience the same wonderful wedding I was part of on that day, and after considering all the options decided that training for accreditation by Humanists UK was the best route for me. In an unregulated sector, I found that they work to the very highest standards which is incredibly important to me.
Of course you don’t need to be a Humanist yourself to have a Humanist wedding ceremony. In fact, the complete opposite applies with inclusivity for all regardless of faith, creed, race, gender, sexual orientation or anything else. Everyone is welcome!
I’ve also done lots of different things in life that help me to be a really good Celebrant.
