Sunflowers & Donkey’s on a very special day for Rory and Lee
Rory and Lee were a couple of rum buggars from the start because these two literally ooze mischief and are always cracking jokes at each others expense. Although they currently live in Dubai, they came back to the UK to officially tie the knot, and their wedding was never going to be anything other than…
A Humanist Wedding on Cloud 23 at the Hilton Hotel for Simon and Emma
Quite often, celebrant Stef helps couples plan their big days long distance and with Simon and Emma (an Aussie and a Brit who met and currently live in Dubai) she was presented with quite the trans-global challenge!
