Emily + Seb created an individual ceremony for themselves, incorporating a traditional Celtic handfasting ceremony, readings by Em’s Dad and Seb’s Mum, and they managed to voice their support for same-sex marriage during the vows It was heartfelt and beautiful, all performed by the gorgeous and energetic celebrant Patty Kikos.
