Borthwick Castle Wedding
Kate and Carl married in Borthwick Castle. Here is a picture taken just after I realised that I'd pronounced Carl's surname wrong.
This couple were glowing all through the ceremony and so in love.

Mansfield Traquair Wedding
Mansfield Traquair is one of the grandest venues I've been to.
Gareth and Sarah are a lovely young couple who wrote a funny and touching ceremony.
I thought that the best thing about the wedding was the way they got friends involved. This lady is as creative as she is pretty and made this splendid cake.
Here is a very talented chap:
His name is Barrie Bignold and he is the groom's brother in law. I was told that Barrie was going to provide the music for the ceremony and when I was introduced to him, I kept thinking, "Where is his guitar?" He told me that the music was pre recorded and I thought that it was quite strange that someone would record themselves playing rather than play live. It turned out that through the wonder of technology, Barrie had recorded a whole 'orchestra' playing music that he composed himself and I am reliably informed that he has been nominated for an Ivor Novello award. Needless to say the music was awesome - the full orchestral whammy with a few bagpipes thrown in! Next time you tune into Nigella Bites, that's Barrie's music you're hearing. According to his profile, he is also responsible for some of the Tweenies music too, but we'll let that one go...

The George Hotel Wedding
Kirsty and Rory married in the chic setting of The George Hotel in the city centre of Edinburgh. Just before the ceremony began, lots of the staff were waiting outside the function suite. They all stand there to give the bride a big round of applause when she arrives, which we heard inside. I don't know if this gave Rory a touch of nerves or relief.
The ceremony was lovely and I particularly noticed the music which I thought was quite dramatic but romantic at the same time. it was the soundtrack to Jurassic Park, which is Rory's favourite movie!
Here is a happy bride and groom with their piper.

Edinburgh Castle Wedding
What I like about Edinburgh Castle is that it can be a venue for huge big weddings and more intimate ones too. Alex and Lynn decided to get married in the Gatehouse, which was a nice, cosy room. This was another very emotional wedding as Alex and Lynn had known each other for many years before they finally got together. I think they make a lovely couple.
And here are the bridesmaids, Lynn's sister Wendy and niece Evie who read Us Two from Winnie the Pooh. Adorable!

Mavis Hall Park Wedding
I'd never been to Mavis Hall Park before Gail and Graham asked me to do their ceremony there. As soon as I saw this, I knew I was going to love it!
There were lots of chickens mingling around! My pics of the barn don't do it justice, I'm afraid. It was beautiful and cosy with hay bails all round the walls.
Gail and Graham were going to have a bonfire in the courtyard later and a pig spit roast for dinner. Here they are looking gorgeous.

Craigmillar Castle Wedding
Mary and Vince really went to town to make their wedding personal and a lot of fun.
Craigmillar Castle is a beautiful venue but I wonder if it is the first time they have ever had a powerpoint presentation as part of the ceremony...
This was a lovely idea. Mary and Vince sent out a reply slip with their invitations and invited all their guests to write what marriage mens on it. They created this lovely slide show with music playing in the background and the messages from their gusts were intercepted with photos of themselves throughout their relationship. The slide above says: "Not being too idealistic and knowing that loving is more secure than being in love". Another said : "A figment of the imagination (only joking!)" It meant that all the guests contributed to the ceremony.
Mary and Vince's mums were the witnesses.
And here is the most important part of the ceremony.
Mary and Vince enjoying a well deserved cuddle and glass of Champers.
