George and Chris' wedding in Scotland






We are having a year of firsts, and George and Chris’ wedding was our first as a married couple. I rather like going to a wedding that I didn’t need to organise. We drove up to Glasgow, half way stopping off at Scotch Corner Travelodge which was a pleasant surprise. The breakfast in Little Chef surprised us too, it was lovely, so surprises all around. We arrived at Mar Hall early for luncheon, you have to call it luncheon in such a grand place! While we tucked in, Chris was seen going up and down, up and down to the ceremony room.
The ceremony was lovely, and so personable. Trouble was, I had a coughing fit half way through and had to leave the room with the crying baby. After photo’s, we moved to a house in the garden decked in white tulips. The speeches were great, including a naked baby picture of Chris. The band ‘Dawn Patrol’ were fantastic. Sadly my new wife left me in the Ceilidh and danced with another woman and left me without a partner, I kid you not. 

My first wedding in Scotland, with kilts and thistles. A fantastic night with Ali’s school friends. So far, we have had one wedding in Colchester, Gen’s in Wales, George in Scotland…Ireland next?
