Happy February 2015! ~ Pam & Mark, Wedding No. 1 ~ Murrayshall, Scone

These two really put me to the test!

While they had planned their wedding in loads of time and had applied for a registrar to conduct the ceremony, sadly they were let down by a lawyer who failed to get their paperwork to them in time to get it all sorted, and of course the registrar cannot conduct a non-legal ceremony; so, with all the guests invited and frocks bought, Pam called me in tears on the Wednesday lunchtime...we met at 5:00 that night at the Red House Hotel, and I went home to draft the ceremony...and sent them off to think about Vows!

First draft was in their inbox by 11:00 a.m. on the Thursday, finalised that evening over the phone, and we got them married in a non-legal -- but very personal -- ceremony on the Friday afternoon!

Pam and Mark Wedding No. 2! 
I'm delighted to say we kept in touch, and, with the legal paperwork finally sorted, I had the proper pleasure of marrying them -- for real -- in their own front room with a handful of pals on the 7th of May, 2016.

A perfect summer evening for the rose garden...just a small gathering of Sol & Susan's best freinds and family, with lots of laughs and a very relaxed atmosphere...

Instead of doing a conventinal reading or speech, Sol's Dad Peter did an amazing job of introducing all of Sol's family - with lots of cheek about each of them - to Susan's girls Lucy & Megan (at either side of the picture), as well as presenting them with gifts of welcome from his family.

Susan & Sol also chose to keep their vows secret from each other, which can be very emotional, but worked really well for them.
