We chose my sister and two close friends to be Charlie's Supporting Adults. However, we find 'Supporting Adults' a bit of a mouthful, so we refer to all of them as Aunty or Uncle. It's a nice way to include them, and easier for someone so young to understand. We were planning the ceremony to co-incide with Charlie's first birthday, and arranged to meet with a Humanist celebrant. Unfortunately the particular celebrant we met just wasn't what we were looking for. In the end, we decided to wait until we have our next child, and we will do something special for them both at the same time. We will probably use a celebrant from Civil Ceremonies and have a big party at home!
