Ross Wright, the first same-sex wedding celebrant in Scotland, in a traditional Ghillie shirt and kilt, chats with a circle of other guests and smiles.

Karen and Martin, the first legally married humanist couple, smile at the camera. They embrace, Martin with his arm round Karen's waist. He wears a blue shirt with yellow stripes and she wears a black blouse.

Our chair Jennifer Buchan, CEO Fraser Sutherland, and Ross smile at the camera. Jennifer wears a white trouser suit, Fraser a grey suit with blue shirt, and Ross his kilt and traditional shirt.
