Britain's first legally recognised humanist wedding has taken place in Edinburgh, at the city's zoo.
Karen Watts and Martin Reijns were united by a humanist celebrant after it was agreed that previous rules were restrictive and discriminatory.
Rules on the venues in which Scottish couples can marry had been relaxed, but services still had to be carried out by a minister of religion or registrar.
Humanist representatives have demanded the same changes in England and Wales.
Humanists believe that people can live ethical lives without religious beliefs.
Before the changes, anyone choosing a humanist wedding had to have a civil ceremony beforehand to legalise the marriage.
