The Wedding of The Year - Part 2 The Big Day (8th March 2008)






Hi,
Today is the big day - Uncle Gary marries Auntie Lisa at St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh, followed by a lavish reception at Prestonfield.
The day started well, Mummy had breakfast with Lisa in her suite, whilst Daddy entertained Uncle Gary in the breakfast room. Mummy really enjoyed the breakfast and tells me it was delicious. After breakfast it was time to get ready.

The ladies were all having their hair done in Edinburgh, so mid morning it was time to make the trip into Edinburgh for the wedding hairdo, Mummy went with Grannie and they had their hair done together, whilst Auntie Lisa was already there in the middle of a fab hair do. At this point though Mummy tells me the weather wasn't great, it was raining.

Come 1pm Mummy & Daddy had their gladrags on and were looking rather fine if you ask me (I've seen the photos) and were ready to get to the church well Cathedral on time. The rain has stopped and the sun is out it's just perfect.

2pm - Uncle Gary is waiting patiently at the alter with his best men who are Daddy and Dave. The guests are seated and eager for a glimpse of the bride, with Mummy, Grannie & Grandad in the front pew, Mummy has the video camera at hand (same she doesn't know how to work it) and then the music starts and we all turn round and strain for a glimspe of the beautiful bride and there she is looking absolutely beautiful, the dress is divine and so perfect, she's a princess walking down the aisle with her father.

The ceremony goes without a hitch, and is truly wonderful, the readings are perfect and the hymns just right, all in all it is a lovely ceremony and when they are pronounced Husband & Wife, Auntie Lisa does a jig and there are big smiles and cheers all around.

Mummy remembers to record the whole ceremony after quickly realising she's forgotten to press the record button, luckily it was very early on and she only missed a little bit - oops Mummy.

Then after photos of the very happy married couple on the steps of the Cathedral Mummy tells me everyone headed back to Prestonfield for the celebrations whoo hoo......

Keep watching this space part 3 the celebrations to come very soon
