Wonderful Yurt Wedding

Well it all finally came together on top of the South Downs.

After months of planning – and a ton of emails! – 120 people successfully weathered the impending storms, snugly tucked up in a mini village of yurts and canopies set high up on one of the most dramatic parts of the South Downs.

Coming from all the corners of the world they were here for an uber-cool humanist ceremony to mark the wedding of two heroic emergency medics from East Timor.  

From early in the morning ’til late at night – for three whole days – they dined, drummed and danced to the delight of everyone present.

It was not the easiest event of the year but it was certainly left the strongest impression on the guests.  One of them took us aside at the end and said he had “travelled the world and been to hundreds of weddings and events but never to one as dramatic, as romantic and as completely inspirational as this”  

Well said!
