The Boys ............

Walking the boys yesterday first thing, the light was magnificent with the red sun rising, shining through the mist, up this morning to capture it but it was like pea soup, you could not even see the sun through the mist. After a while it began to lift leaving wonderful soft light to work with. A few of the boys, Monty and Magnus in the corn field.

Tracy and Garry at The Trossachs Church / Roman camp 28/08/10

Tracy and Garry married at the Trossachs Church , by Brig O' Turk, looking over Loch Achray. With their reception at Roman Camp in Callander. The day went brilliantly, with everyone enjoying the warm weather. Thank you to Garry's brother, David, who came back from South Africa to attend the wedding and be his brother's best man. Their minister was great fun, but unfortunately her name escapes me. She set the tone for a friendly and relaxed wedding.

Also, again, a big thank you to Shona and all the staff at Roman Camp.

A few pics from the day.

Claire and Alan at Elim Christian Fellowship / Paisley Town Hall 21/08/10

Claire and Allan got married at Elim Christian Fellowship Church in Paisley. Everybody was in fine singing voice. After the service we all took to the streets of Paisley for the walk to the Town Hall for the reception. We did not hold up the traffic that much, even when we organised a large group shot of all the family and guests in the middle of the busiest road in Paisley, on a Saturday afternoon. Well done to all. After a few celebratory drinks we all left the reception and had some fun in and around the Town Hall and Paisley Abbey.

Well done to Claire and Allan........

Laura and Matthew at Dunblane Cathredral / Roman Camp 20/08/10

Laura and Matthew were married in Dunblane Cathedral, and, as in the previous post, it's another example of our fabulous architectural history. Then on to the Roman Camp for their reception. Roman Camp has to be one of the best wedding venues in Scotland. Laura and Matthew had a fab time. The bridesmaids, well what can I say, the sexiest bridesmaids' dresses I have ever seen. Well done girls. In the evening there was a "Pig Roast" for the evening supper with Chinese Lanterns being set off by Laura, Matthew and all the guests. Laura threw her flowers, which seems to be a long forgotten tradition. It was great to see it done with so much enthusiasm. Suzie, the chief bridesmaid caught them. She is away to find a husband now.

All the best to everyone and a big thank you to Shona and all the staff at The Roman Camp.

Karen and Chris at St Michaels / Linlithgow 07/08/10

Karen and Chris at St. Michael's, Linlithgow.

Karen and Chris got married at St Michael's by Linlithgow Palace. Dating back to 1242 it is an amazing church. On our travels, we all visit churches and cathedrals in France, Italy, Spain and all over the world. We think they are amazing, but really, you don't have to look any further than your own doorstep. We have brillant churches and cathedrals of our own with outstanding architecture. Karen looked stunning and Chris was not too bad either. After the service the reception was held back at the Officers' Mess, at Craigiehall, in Edinburgh. A fabulous day. The evening was in full swing as I left. Thank you to Neil, the best man, for all his help on the day.

P.S. Great speech !!!!!

Fritha and Simon at Makerston Kirk 24/07/10

The third of my local weddings in the Scottish Borders in July. I have been living in the Scottish Borders now for over 26 years and it still amazes me that I can come across some areas that I have not travelled through. Makerston lies in the area between Kelso and St Boswells, an amazing area that I don't know particularly well, with small villages scattered all over it ........ a glorious part of the Borders. Fritha and Simon got married in Makerston Kirk, a stunning, small, village church, with their reception back at their farm in a Marquee and with cover over the courtyard. But first there was a drinks reception in Fritha's mother's beautifully kept garden.

Another great day for all guests, friends and both families.

A big thankyou to Margaret.......... www.oldthreshingmill.com
