A BUSINESS has been created in Kendal to cater for non-religious couples looking to tie the knott.

Inspirational Ceremonies has been established by Debra Jessett, of Kendal, who has been trained to conduct non-religious wedding ceremonies by the British Humanist Association.

Humanism is a philosophy of life and ethics, based on a concern for humanity and the natural world. However, those who wish to have a Humanist wedding do not have to be Humanists themselves.

“These days ceremonies can often seem impersonal so I want to offer something that is both individual and meaningful to those involved,” said Mrs Jessett. “I spend several hours talking to the couple before putting together a script. This usually involves writing ‘their story’. The feedback I have had from couples is that this is what has made their ceremony really special.

As well as choosing your own words and style of ceremony, it can be held anywhere, including your own garden, a local beauty spot or even on top of the fells.

“I feel very lucky to live and work in Cumbria and love spending time in the hills and mountains,” said Mrs Jessett. “I can’t think of anything more satisfying than enabling people to celebrate their special day in such a beautiful area.”
