Lorna and Iain's wedding

Continuing on  from our busy summer, we had a really busy Christmas period this year. Lorna and Iain were returning from NZ to get married in Glasgow - we had't seen them since leaving NZ ourselves so it was a very highly anticipated event.

They were coming back the week before Christmas to have their stag and hen parties and then they would be getting married on the 28th of December.

A couple of additional things made this wedding even more special - we had agreed to accommodate some of Lorna and Iain's friends during their stay so we were glad to host Cat De Silva and Greg Campbell. It was great to spend some time with Kiwi's again.

The second thing that added to this wedding was that I had been requested to play guitar during the signing of the register. Bearing in mind that Lorna had only ever heard me singing stupid songs, made up songs or Oasis covers this was a brave move.

It all went very well however as far as I could tell, it helped that I was teamed up with the talented Renee who provided the quality vocals to give everyone something good to focus on.

The wedding itself was a blast and the huge numbers of Kiwi's wearing kilts for the first time (some of them back to front) and getting involved in the ceilidh dancing really made for a good atmosphere. As Russ Abbott once pointed out, you've got to love a party with a happy atmosphere.

Iain and Lorna also went to great lengths to make sure that all special needs were catered for at this event. 

We did spend quite a wee bit more time with them over the New Year period but it was all over in a flash and off they jetted to New York for their honeymoon.

Congratulations to Lorna and Iain on a fabulous wedding and it was really great to catch up with them both. Hopefully it won't be too long before we see them again.
