I would highly recommend Maureen to anyone looking for a celebrant for their wedding as she is truly amazing at what... she does!! After initially meeting her at a wedding show I knew I wanted her to be our celebrant even before we had set a date, so after eventually booking our venue we contacted her straight away and lucky for us she was available. We then arranged a meeting with her at her house where she spent time getting to know a bit about us and what we wanted for our ceremony. She also gave us lots of information and ideas for us to think about. Maureen then continued to keep in regular contact with us and was available to offer any help and support if needed, and nothing was ever a bother. Not long before our big day we had another meeting to go through every aspect of our ceremony to ensure everything was exactly how we wanted it, and we also got a chance to practice our vows and the hand fasting to help us prepare for the day. Then on our wedding day she was just prefect and our ceremony went exactly how we had imagined it would be. It was so beautiful and personal, and everyone has commented on how lovely the ceremony was. Many mentioned that they really liked hearing about the history behind the hand fastening and found it very interesting. Again, we can’t thank you enough Maureen and we are so glad to have had you as a part our our special day ❤️read more

After our initial celebrant could no longer do our ceremony due to personal reasons we were left in a bit of a panic.... We contacted Human Society Scotland who were brilliant and responded straight away with available celebrants, thankfully Maureen was one of them, we loved Maureen from our first initial zoom, very warm and friendly. She kept us organised and in the loop at all times with frequent communication. The ceremony itself was brilliant; very relaxed, personal, emotional with some funny bits added. We got compliments all day, we even had family members say it was one of the best ceremonies they had been to! Thanks again Maureen, Emma & Steven.read more

We were so glad to have Maureen as our celebrant for our wedding in September. The ceremony she helped us prepare had... the perfect balance of humour and sincerity and was completely personal to us. All our guests were saying how much they enjoyed it! Her little touches were amazing, from giving my best friend's baby some bubbles to play with during the ceremony, to helping me finish my vows when I was too emotional to carry on reading them. If you're looking for a warm, professional celebrant with a good sense of humour then look no further!read more

We would highly recommend Maureen as a celebrant. She was great from the initial meeting which was very personal and... she allowed us to physically try out different symbolic rituals so we could decide what ones we liked. It was great being able to try the different ways to do the handfasting as we immediately knew which one we preferred. Maureen was so attentive and always got back to us by email promptly which we really appreciated. She always answered any queries or special requests we had. It was really helpful meeting Maureen for a final run through of the ceremony nearer the wedding day. It helped to remove any last minute nerves from the both of us. When it came to the day itself, we couldn't be happier with how our ceremony went. Maureen made everyone feel so comfortable and that included checking in on both of us aswell. All our guests had nothing but great feedback about Maureen and they all loved her personality and personalised touches that we were so involved with, which made the ceremony even more special. We both don't have anything negative to say about our experience with Maureen and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a humanist ceremony. Thank you Maureen! Xread more

Maureen was the perfect celebrant to conduct our wedding. From the very beginning of the process she was kind, funny,... relaxed and knowledgeable.

Absolutely loved having Maureen as our celebrant. She was so organised and friendly and kept us calm throughout the... day! The only part of the wedding we weren’t stressed about was the ceremony as I knew we were in good hands with Maureen ❤️ She incorporated our story into the ceremony flawlessly. She listened to our ideas in our pre wedding meetings and helped inspire us when we weren’t sure. Our wedding guests loved the ceremony and we have received many compliments about how fantastic she was. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a humanist celebrant she felt like part of the family 🥰read more

When we had our first meeting it was such a relaxed space. She listened to our plans and carried them through. We wanted a relaxed and fun service and Maureen was honestly the best.

Maureen was fantastic! We loved the way she delivered our wedding ceremony in a relaxed manner and made us feel at... ease. Our guests also complimented the same. With us both at opposite ends of the country, Maureen was very accomodating and made sure we had everything we needed to be prepared for the ceremony and even suggested some suppliers for personal touches for the ceremony who were also brilliant.

We were so delighted to have Maureen as our celebrant at our Wedding on 8th July 2023, after already seeing her in... action at our friends wedding a few years ago. From start to finish, Maureen was fantastic. We met with Maureen a few times ahead of the wedding, and she always took the time to really get to know us and make sure the day was just as we’d hoped. She guided us through different options and made sure that everything felt personal to us. On the run up to the wedding we occasionally had some questions or changes we wanted to make, and Maureen was always so quick at coming back to us to make sure we were happy. On the day, having Maureen there with us felt like a hug comfort and we knew we were in very safe hands. We had so many compliments about the ceremony with people specifically saying how fantastic Maureen had been, and that it had been the best ceremony they had ever been to, with everything so personal to Lee and I. We will be forever grateful to Maureen for playing such a huge role in our special day, and feel so lucky to have had her there with all our family and friends to create the most precious of memories. Jill and Lee xxread more

Maureen was absolutely brilliant! We love the way she delivered our wedding ceremony in a relaxed, lighthearted and fun... manner. Our guests also complimented the same. With one of us working in the UAE and the other in the US, it had not been easy preparing for the ceremony. Maureen was very thorough and made sure we have all the info we need to prepare for the ceremony, from govt paperwork procedures (which we had no clue about) to suggestions on personal touches for the ceremony. The ceremony was perfect, it flowed so naturally! Thanks Maureen! xxread more

We decided to get married with only few months notice as our anniversary was coming up. We were recommended Maureen by... Stacy at the Stirling Highland Hotel. From our first meeting we knew instantly that we wanted Maureen to perform our ceremony due to her professional, friendly and welcoming nature. She helped us in this short period of time to create a very personalised and meaningful ceremony. Maureen was very helpful whenever we contacted her with any questions and she made sure that everything was ready on time. On the day, Maureen delivered a very emotional and relaxed ceremony. She was very good at conveying our story whilst managing to make it fun and interesting. All of our guests specifically mentioned how much they loved Maureen's ceremony and how personal it was. We highly recommend Maureen as we couldn't imagine better person to perform our ceremony and she will be part of our happy memories for the rest of our lives. Mr & Mrs Thomsonread more

Maureen is a fantastic celebrant, absolutely perfect for our Scottish / Irish wedding in July! From the moment we first... spoke we felt we were in really capable and experienced hands - Maureen guided us through the whole process of personalising our ceremony and choosing our vows. I want to particularly thank Maureen for being so patient and communicating with us regularly, despite her being super busy, as we made final changes to our ceremony (several times due to all the covid postponements!). Our ceremony was unforgettable - a true highlight of the day and a moment we’ll never forget. Maureen made us feel a ease when we were both super nervous, and had us and our guests laughing and crying throughout! I’m so pleased we picked Maureen to be our celebrant. She has the perfect mix of professionalism, good humour and a clear love for her job as a humanist celebrant which made for a really special wedding ceremony. Thank you Maureen 🥰 from Becca and Odhran xread more

What an amazing day from start to finish. Maureen was a great celebrant and got many great comments from our... guests. From having an initial zoom call (due to Covid) to find out about a humanist wedding, since that first call we knew we wanted Maureen to be ours. We then had a few more zoom calls and e-mails back and forth to work together and put our ceremony exactly how we wanted it. This is what I loved, it is made so personal to each couple, tells our story and not religious at all. You also have the opportunity to read your own vows and things you love about each other or Maureen is happy to do this too. Thank you so much Maureen we will always recommend you to anyone looking for this kind of ceremony. And Adams auntie is now looking into this after enjoying your ceremony so much!

Couldn’t recommend Maureen enough! Maureen performed our wedding ceremony on 26/11/21 at Boclair House and it was... amazing. Maureen is very professional and definitely knows her stuff when it comes to weddings and current trends ect. We first had a phone consultation with Maureen and we’re a bit unsure on what we wanted our ceremony to be like but she talked us though different ideas and took lots of information about us and our family to make a really good personalised & funny script for our ceremony. Maurren kept in touch with us and gave helpful reminders for anything we needed to do. Maureen was very fast with drafts of the wedding ceremony and was easy to work together to perfect our final script. On the day of the wedding my husband and I were very nervous and Maureen really helped to ease our nerves and stay calm before and during the ceremony. Maureen’s performance was perfect, she really engaged our guests and made everyone feel comfortable. 100% recommend Maurren and the Humanist Society Scotlandread more

Maureen performed our wedding ceremony at Loch Lomond in September and she was absolutely fantastic. In the lead up to... our wedding, she put our minds at ease and let us know exactly what to expect (this was particularly helpful with Covid, given that things were consistently changing at the last minute at the time). On the day, she was engaging, funny and made us and our guests very comfortable. A lot of our guests had never been to a humanist ceremony before and didn't know what to expect, but everyone left really impressed by all the personal touches Maureen brought to the day. I can't tell you how many times we've been told our ceremony was beautiful, and that's in huge part down to Maureen. We couldn't recommend her enough!read more

Maureen conducted our wedding ceremony last month, and honestly I can tell you everything was perfect. We had a very... small ceremony with friends only, and Maureen came up with the idea of arranging letters from our parents to be read out on the day, keeping the details of the letters a secret and making sure our friends (who read them) had copies in advance. Maureen coordinated all of this and it made the ceremony even more meaningful and emotional on the day. I was feeling quite nervous the morning of the ceremony, and as soon as Maureen arrived she put me at ease, her rucksack of supplies coming up with the goods! 2 rescue remedy pastilles and a glass of prosecco later and I was ready :) Going back to when we first got in touch with Maureen, we were a little apprehensive. Neither of us were sure what to expect and a zoom call with someone you don't know can sometimes be a little awkward. Well we didn't need to worry, Maureen put us at ease straight away and from that meeting onward Maureen felt like part of the team. I will forever be grateful to Maureen for her part in our wedding. You couldn't really ask for more from your celebrant. Highly highly recommend.read more

Maureen Kettle conducted our wedding ceremony on the 31st of July 2021, for me and my now Husband, Maureen couldn't... have helped us enough! She was our going beacon of light throughout the uncertainty of Covid regulations. The beauty of a Humanist wedding is that you can make it your own. Maureen, made us feel at ease with her genuine bubbly, loving and kind personality, guiding us through all the little details that we didn't even think of. Maureen ensured that we had the best wedding day! As for the ceremony that Maureen planned and delivered, she was on hand for back and forth emails as we updated the dialogue every so often, so we could get everything just right. The delivery of the ceremony was absolutely spot on. Maureen, made us feel even more so in love as we met each other in the garden to be married. She made not only us feel at ease but encouraged our guests to join in within the ceremony welcoming heckles and laughs etc. Most importantly, she included the little ones so beautifully, giving them jobs within the ceremony to make everyone's hearts melt. Maureen has been such a blessing! Thank you Maureen Kettle Humanist Celebrant, we are incredibly grateful.read more

Maureen was so helpful when planning our day. She brought lots of information to the table and gave us lots of really... great advice to help make decisions that really personalised our big day. We were both quite emotional on the day, and Maureen really helped us to remain calm and collected and to really enjoy the experience of marriage. I know people often say they had the best day of their lives but 'we honestly did' The whole day was amazing and the ceremony was delivered by Maureen beautifully and clear to all our guests. We had so many comments about the ceremony being very 'us' afterwards and that was down to Maureen who got to know us, and helped us plan a very personal and fun wedding. I would say to anyone who wants a very professional, personal and light hearted experience to give Maureen a call. She is simply wonderful 🎂🎊🤍👰🏻🤵🏻 Mr and Mrs Small 25th June 2021read more

Maureen conducted our wedding in May this year in our back garden. Maureen was so friendly and helpful from our... initial meeting right through to the wedding day. Our ceremony was just amazing and we had lots of comments from the guests on how good Maureen was and even the photographer said how great she was at stepping back at the right moments for her to jump in and get photos. We would highly recommend Maureen to anyone looking for a Humanist Celebrant.read more

Maureen conducted our wedding ceremony in March 2021 in our garden due to Covid rules. It was a lovely personalised... ceremony and family watching on live stream felt very much included too by Maureen. She was very helpful and understanding with changing Covid rules, she is very approachable, nothing was a bother. Highly recommend Maureen - 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Nicola & Scott (Mr & Mrs Torrance)read more

We live in the south of England so we had multiple video chats with Maureen and got to know her very well. She is so... lovely and supportive. We knew from speaking to her that her warm personality and sense of humour was just what we wanted on our special day. We had to postpone our wedding twice due to the pandemic, but she made it feel like it was no bother at all. She guided us throughout the journey and created the perfect ceremony for us. She made us feel at ease on the day and everyone loved her. We would thoroughly recommend Maureen.read more

Maureen was our celebrant for our wedding day in March 2021. After having to postpone our big day and have a much... smaller wedding ceremony, Maureen was there every step of the way. She put our minds at ease, came up with lots of ideas and helped us through a very stressful time. She was always available to go over things and she made our wee day go smoothly and ensured it centred round us completely. She is very warm, friendly and easy going and we can't wait for her to renew our vows at our bigger ceremony next Summer. We couldn't imagine anyone better for the job!read more

I first saw Maureen do her thing at a friend’s wedding a couple of years ago. I knew then that I wanted her to conduct... my own wedding. Our wedding was originally schedule for October 2020 but had to be postponed due to Covid. We managed to rearrange for December 2020 and luckily Maureen was available! Maureen bent over backwards to help us and was very patient with us as we changed our plans (more than once) and tried to make the best of the changing restrictions. The wedding couldn’t have gone better and all of our guests commented on how great Maureen was and how personal she made the ceremony. Sadly Maureen also recently conducted the service for my uncle’s funeral. Maureen worked with the family to make the service as personal as possible in the same way as she did for our wedding. Maureen is a brilliant speaker and her energy and character bring so much to her ceremonies. I cannot recommend her highly enough!read more

well what can I say! I met maureen in 2017...I then met my future husband a few months later and told maureen that if... I got married she would be my humanist!!! He popped the question in 2018 and I think maureen was one of the first people I messaged to tell and ask her to be my Humanist! 2 years later maureen helped us plan and celebrate our special day during the current pandemic! maureen was absolutely amazing and we couldn't thank her enough ❤ In early 2021 maureen also helped us celebrate and say goodbye to my wee granny. Maureen conducted a beautiful and personal service for her funeral. From her infectious smile and positive attitude i would definitely recommend Maureen to any family or friend who is looking for a Celebrant for any occasionread more

Maureen was the celebrant at my wedding at Venachar Lochside in December 2020. We first meet Maureen at the Scottish... Wedding Show earlier in the year and she put us at ease and talked us through ceremony options, shortly after meeting her we decided to book her for our big day! A nice visit to her home let us chat through our plans and then when Covid hit we went online and found Maureen to still be very helpful and responsive online with regular emails and calls. She did a great job on our wedding day and we couldn’t thank her enough!read more

Absolutely amazing celebrant! From our first email enquiry, Maureen made us feel so comfortable and so at ease. Full... of expert knowledge and experience, she was able to advise and talk us through everything that we had in mind for our ceremony step by step. She also suggested new and exciting ideas that we hadn't thought of before for example, handfasting (which later featured in our ceremony!) Writing our ceremony seemed daunting but Maureen made the whole process a breeze. Not only did she listen carefully and took genuine interest in our story and all our wee quirks, but she asked us questions that brought out the best of our story as a couple ❤ Maureen was so organised and regularly kept in touch with us regarding ceremony drafts and reminders of submitting paperwork in order for the legal side of things to get done too. Both through email, zoom and of course in person before lockdown. Covid certainly put a strain on 2020 however, with a new wedding date, new bridesmaid arrangements and new witnesses due to restrictions, Maureen was not phased at all. She took it all in her stride and nothing was ever too much to change or alter due to circumstances. On our wedding day, we could not sing Maureen's praises enough! She arrived well in advance, which put my now husband at ease, and was excellent during the ceremony. Friendly, welcoming, efficient and always smiling. I couldn't of imagined any one else marrying us. Thank you so much Maureen! P.S to brides, Maureen has a substitute ink pen for signing your marriage certificate, so don't panic about getting ink on your dress when you're getting your "signing" photo taken 🥰read more

Maureen was fantastic helping us to arrange our wedding in September 2020. When the pandemic hit Maureen kept in touch... with us and helped to reassure us in uncertain times. When we decided we wanted to go ahead with the wedding under the new guidelines Maureen helped us to understand what was possible, helped us find a venue and kept us in line with the guidelines. Maureen then delivered a beautiful ceremony for us which everyone loved. Maureen is wonderful, we hope you get to have her as part of your wedding! 🙂read more

But we ended up being at her house for over 2 hours talking. We felt that she went above and beyond our expectations and truly made our ceremony perfect! She was very easy to get on with, listened to every we wanted and somehow managed to create the perfect start to our married life together! It was truly a testament to her brilliant work to see people thanking her for the way she lead the ceremony afterwards!

On the... first meeting she explained everything in a lovely warm manner and we knew we had chosen the right person for our day. The ceremony we planned with Maureen’s support and suggestions was just as we had hoped. It was very much about David and myself and included many elements that brought in our family and friends. On our wedding day Maureen coped with everything in a calm manner including the wasps, down side to an out door ceremony. All our guest commented on how lovely Maureen was and the warmth that she brought to the ceremony. Thank you Maureen, you helped make a special day even more special.

We first met Maureen at a local wedding fair. My partner wanted a humanist wedding but I knew nothing about this type... of ceremony. Maureen was brilliant and took time explaining the type of ceremony they could offer us. She showed us all the different symbols they used to represent marriage. After meeting her I changed my mind and we decided to have a humanist ceremony. I told my partner that I really wanted Maureen as our celebrant as she had come across not only extremely informative but also very warm and caring. Luckily she was available on the date of our wedding. Maureen welcomed us into her home on 2 occasions and helped us to prepare for the biggest day of our lives. She kept in regular contact and ensured that we got all paperwork completed on time. We felt really supported by her which was a massive help at a stressful time. On the day of the wedding she was just brilliant. She had a calming effect on me and was also interacting with my friends and family who also commented on how lovely she was. She made sure everything ran smoothly. The ceremony she provided was emotional and just perfect in our eyes. I loved the small extras like glasses of water for us, she offered tissues for the tears and provided other things like fountain pen with no ink to prevent smudging during photos. All in all we couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant to conduct our marriage. Thanks again Maureen. Love from Paul and Philip xxread more

Maureen was our wedding celebrant and we can't recommend her highly enough! With her warmth, great sense of humour and... infectious smile, we loved working with her. We had an outdoor woodland ceremony, which Maureen was very flexible and enthusiastic about. Sadly both our Mum's have passed away and Maureen dealt with this in a very compassionate way, making us feel at ease on the day. We are very grateful to Maureen for such a unique, personal and lively ceremony. Looking back at the photos it is evident from the relaxed smiles and laughter how much the guests, as well as us, enjoyed it, which we believe helped set the tone for the rest of the day. Thank-you Maureen. From Amanda and Conor.read more

Maureen was our humanist for our wedding and she was an absolute dream to work with. We consider ourselves lucky to... have found her! Right from the start she guided us through the ceremony and talked us through the logistics in such a way that we felt organised and comfortable. She was always on top of the detail, had a wink and a nod when needed and I knew that if anything went wrong on the day, Maureen was someone I could look to - she goes above and beyond what we expected. The ceremony was wonderful - full of personal references to me and my new husband. Everyone talked about how much they loved it afterward and I think a few of my friends are now considering humanist ceremonies for their own weddings.

From the very first moment we got in touch with Maureen to plan our ceremony we knew it was going to be perfect. We met... Maureen at her home which made us feel at ease straight away, especially as she had such a friendly family dog to play with. Maureen was very well organised and sent us helpful documents that would assist us in structuring our ceremony. We really enjoyed reliving the initial moments how we first met and while we were dating as it is something we had never put into words before. It was extra personal and something an ordinary service can never give you as all of our guests now feel a lot closer to us as a couple knowing our history as a couple and how we came to be man and wife. All of our guests complimented how heartfelt and emotional our ceremony was which was exactly why we chose Maureen to conduct our Humanist celebration. We cannot recommend Maureen highly enough and thank her so much for everything she did for us. She even gave us a lovely card and wedding gift which we were very touched by.

Maureen conducted our ceremony at The Parsonage in early April and we couldn’t have been happier with everything she... did. Everyone commented on how personal the ceremony was and how engaging Maureen’s words were. We spent some time going back and forth with Maureen, creating our ceremony ourselves, with her guidance. From start to finish she delivered with passion and humour as if she had known us for years and we felt very lucky to have found someone like Maureen to do this for us. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personal and meaningful wedding ceremony.read more

Maureen was absolutely fantastic on the day and in the previous rehearsal.

What can we say about Maureen? Well from the minute we met her we instantly loved her and felt so relaxed around... her. Although she is very professional she is fun and caring. Maureen made our ceremony perfect, she made us feel at ease and made sure Paul and i were ok before we got married. Perfect in every way, we would even love to meet for a cup of tea as she was more like a friend to us. Thanks Maureen from the bottom of our hearts, love and butterflies, Cheryl and Paul xxxxread more

What a lady!! From start to finish Maureen is an an absolute star. Our ceremony was about us and Maureen planned it and... delivered it in a way that was beyond our expectations. She knows exactly what people want and goes above and beyond to deliver it. Asking her to change some bits of the ceremony a week before was not an issue at all!! Even my dad complimented you on it and that's saying something. She captured what was important to us, we wanted a ceremony that reflected who we are both as individuals and as a couple. And she got it spot on. Maureen we cannot thank you enough. Conor and Louise ( and Jessica too)read more

My mums funeral was on 31st January , Maureen was absolutely fantastic! Maureen had obviously never met my mum but the... way she captured my mums life in words, I can't describe! She sat and listened to all of my family talk about particular memories , and even the silliest things we spoke about Maureen captured! This has been the worst 2 weeks of our lives, and of course Maureen knew that! You are an absolute credit to the Humanist society and myself and my family cannot thank you enough! Thank you �read more

Maureen is just fantastic, and Stephen and I cannot recommend her enough. We received a very prompt response to our... first email enquiring about a Humanist Ceremony and what it would entail and as soon as we met Maureen we just knew she was the one to guide us through the process. She is very professional but comes with a huge dollop of humour and made everything straightforward whilst reminding us to ask ourselves why we did actually want to get married.Maureen's family (including the 4 legged variety) are equally as great too. We highly recommend getting in touch with Maureen, your guests will be talking about your lovely ceremony for a long time afterwards.read more

Myself and my new husband, Jono, cannot thank Maureen enough for her part in our wedding day. From the very start she... was professional, insightful and her cheery nature was infectious, putting us both at ease. We are now 2 weeks after our wedding and our guests are still talking about how special our ceremony was. Our ceremony was incredibly personal to us, we wrote our own vows which were left as a surprise to each other until the day and this wouldnt have been possible without Maureen's help and guidance. Getting married can be very stressful, lots of things to worry about and some suppliers let you down on the way. However, from the beginning there was one thing (the most important thing!) that we had 100% confidence in and that was our wedding ceremony conducted by Maureen. She is incredibly committed to her line of work and clearly enjoys it which really comes across. Maureen was easily contactable and always replied very promptly to any question. Anyway, to summarise, thank you so much Maureen for giving us such a beautiful and personalised ceremony that we will both treasure for the rest of our lives. We both feel very lucky to have had Maureen conducting our ceremony. We would recommend Maureen to everyone but especially those who would like a personalised ceremony. The more you put into your story and your vows the more Maureen has to work with and the better your ceremony will be! Xread more

We met Maureen twice before our wedding and she was so welcoming, warm and friendly. By the time our wedding came we felt like we had known Maureen for years which helped us feel relaxed and stress free. We will definitely be recommending Maureen to anyone we know having a humanist service in the future. Thanks again Maureen from Mr and Mrs Haldane xxread more

Maureen was a great choice of humanist from the start, the first meeting at her home was relaxed,informal but really... informative as we'd never really thought about the ceremony. The pack she gave us was great to select readings, vows & get a general feel for how the ceremony would go. So helpful & personal, everyone mentioned how special the ceremony was & how Maureen was just the perfect combination of official, relaxed & funny. Thank you for a very memorable start to our marriage😊read more

Hi Maureen, thanks very much for making our day so relaxed and special. We both decided that a Humanist ceremony would... be best because it's so personal and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Many of our guests commented on how wonderful the ceremony was, some saying that it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever been to. You can't get better praise than that! From initial booking right up to the ceremony, you provided us with useful direction (about when we should apply for the marriage lines, examples of vows and promises for putting the ceremony together etc) and you were very quick at responding if we had any queries. And - as far as I'm aware - you didn't bat an eyelid when I asked for part of the ceremony to be removed at the very last minute! Sorry about that! I would highly recommend your services to anyone thinking about tying the knot! Many thanks! Vic & Bob (Glenskirlie House, April 2017)read more
