Tha mi a'chuir fàilte Oirbh! . I welcome you! My name is Scot AnSgeulaiche. I am a Scottish Tradition Bearer. A major part of that tradition bearing is performing Handfasting Marriages and other Wedding Customs, including Master of Wedding Ceremonies and Storyteller in the Scottish Celtic tradition. We live in Scotland, so carry living Traditions from the Highlands and Islands Gàidhlig (Gaelic) culture and also from careful historical study, Traditions such as Jumping the Besom (broom). These are ideal for Castle Weddings and popular with Scots living abroad in England and the Americas.
Of course, I can advise on Highland dress and my wife, Samantha MacKenzie, and I have even delved into Scottish Wedding Traditions to create wedding favours and gifts. Samantha I often perform Handfasting and Renewal ceremonies as co-celebrants, Male and Female in Balance.
Together, we are "Highland Blessings".
As a Fear an Taigh or Master of Ceremonies, I also bring an organised flow to the reception for our guests, introduce the speeches and share Scottish customs at the wedding breakfast.
Ceremonies can be created for many events, not just marriages. These might include Civil Partership, a Renewal of Marriage Vows ceremony, separation ceremonies, naming ceremonies for infants, anything infact that you wish to honour with a significant ceremony, infront of family and friends, imbued with an element of the Sacred. Again, coming from the Scottish Traditions.
Much of our work is within Scotland (we live in Perthshire & Argyll), but we also travel anywhere that can be reached without using an aeroplane.
How would you like to be married amidst The Gathering in Edinburgh, July 2009, surround by your clan, just like the marriages used to be? A once in lifetime opportunity! July 25-6 2009. There will be hundreds of Clansmen, tents and events happening through the weekend. If you are a clan member, we will ask to use the clan tent or somewhere close and you will be married (or a renewal of vows) amidst your clan folk. If you don't have a clan association, then we'll liaise for a space and time with the The Gathering organisers.
