Where could be more romantic
than Dundas Castle – one of Scotland's most beautiful castles, renowned for its
magnificent and exquisite rooms and hallways?
The Auld Keep was the
perfect setting for Sam and David. Their ceremony was romantic, quirky, and
very ‘them’.
For a start, they chose to stand the opposite way round to the traditional ‘Bride on the left, Groom on the right’.
They each wrote their own vows
and read a poem that beautifully expressed their individual hopes and dreams
for their marriage. Humour was added into the mix by Sam’s close friend Nikki
who read the lyrics from ‘When I’m Sixty-Four’ by The Beatles, and wowed the
guests by singing the last verse!
Sam and David also chose to drink from a
Quaich during the ceremony – a Scottish tradition that seals the bond between
two people and symbolises the joining of two families.
It
was a privilege to work with such a lovely couple and I’m delighted that Sam
and David sent me these great shots by photographer Neil Redfern and this note:
“We
just wanted to say a big thank you for making our wedding such a truly magical
day for us! You were wonderful throughout; so thoughtful, diligent and warm and
the ceremony was just perfect – everything we ever dreamt it could be! Thank
you from the bottom of our hearts, it’s so appreciated.”
