Martin and Bruce
We had a wonderful harpist playing in the
hotel an hour before the ceremony, and we had
two friends playing piano and singing us down the
aisle. they also sang during the signing of the
register and once we were declared ‘married’ a
piper started playing in the gardens. Being in the
business of entertainment meant that we could
ask friends to do this and make it more personal.
We had a Scottish poem read and a friend of ours
made a wonderful speech about how far we have
come to be able to do what we did that day.
everything else was very traditional.
i went for a classic black suit, white shirt and
Bruce was in full kilt. i had a purple tie and Bruce
a purple cravat. We both had a white rose, a
thistle and lavender in our pins.
We had our dads walk our maids of honour
down the aisle, followed by my sister and Bruce’s
brother walking with the best man and best
woman. We then followed, accompanied by our
mums. never did we think we’d see the day that
this would happen. they probably didn’t either,
