Cammy's Wedding

A good friend of mine from Uni (well the Jobbyhill football team) got married recently and Katie and I resumed our role as professional wedding guests and reviewers. Cammy and Kate got married up in St. Andrews in a fantastic old converted stable - a stunning venue.




The wedding itself was great but it was also a chance to catch up with a lot of ex-Jordanhillers. A real reunion of sorts.

A rare sighting of the shy and reclusive Bryan Nicol.
Andy Robson with Katie.
The stable dancefloor.
The wedding band were led by another ex-Jordanhiller - Ross Lothian.
Slovenian Dave from the Tartan Army - he's not really Slovenian.
Hard to believe, but gone are the days of dancing around the Garage to Brimful of Asha and pouring cheap bottles of beer over each others heads. Well, we all grow up don't we?  Do we?

Anyway, there were a number of highlights but the following stick in my mind:

1) Our outrageously overpriced and undersized hotel room in St. Andrew's. (shame that this is number 1 - but these are in chronological order).
2) Cammy's Dad and Kate's grandfather doing the service.
3) Kate is a primary teacher and had prepared little goody bags for all the kids at the wedding with colouring in books and toys - all the kids also sat at a kind of top table. A great idea.
4) Sean and Chas from the football team doing the best man speech together and Chas trying to play and sing a song about Cammy to the tune of Britney Spear's chart topper "Hit me baby one more time".
5) Me having to carve the roast at the table in a big chef's hat.


6) The next day barbecue at the cottages - a nice way to round off the weekend.
7) A wander on the Old Course in St. Andrew's.




The bridge on the 18th - the photo everyone was taking.
Katie liked the ball scoop...I don't know why.
