Islanders looking to have a humanist wedding can now tie the knot here in the island.

The new options for couples tying the knot were introduced last year, along with same-sex marriages.

Gill Hayes and Allison Cross have been approved to carry out non-religious services along with 12 other newly appointed civil celebrants.

So proud of Gill Hayes and Allison Cross, our @Humanists_UK trained celebrants who are now able to perform legal marriage ceremonies locally in Jersey. @CIHumanists @JEPnews @BBCJersey @bailiwickxpress @Channel103 @itvchanneltv pic.twitter.com/FY6tj16LLt
