The wedding weekend

My baby brother has married a lovely girl!


It was a fantastic day:
  • She, and her bridesmaids, looked stunning.  And so happy!
  • a special family gathering
    • catching up with people I've not seen for many years
    • enjoying meeting my new sister-in-law's family - they're lovely too!
  • the service was shared between the Catholic priest and Church of Scotland minister
    • such a warm atmosphere, and everyone felt welcomed
    • the priest's homily on "Christian Marriage" was just right: the strength of a marriage is in receiving and sharing God's love.  He makes it possible for us to thrive together, in any circumstances
  • Dad's ceilidh band played, and the dance floor was busy until late
  • I took lots of pictures... too many to include here
    • I printed some off the next day, for my grans to see what they'd been unable to share in person, and for G&T to have as an instant reminder of their big day


 Knitting featured too:
  • I made a blanket for them as our wedding present
  • I wore a Clapotis wrap which I made myself for the occasion
    • I loved the feel of the Kid Classic yarn... mohair, lambswool (and nylon) felt so snuggly and soft next to my skin; perfect for a July wedding in Scotland!
    • a feeling of luxury, all the more special because it was my own work


We stayed at the Crieff Hydro and had breakfast together the next morning

  • a treat to finish the celebrations in style
