Paddy and Grace's Wedding

Grace, our niece, was married in Aboyne close to the family home of her grandparents. Deeside provided a perfect setting for a large family wedding with twenty-five or so of us staying on for the week to explore an area that I did not know well apart from the Munros in the Eastern Cairngorms.  The bride and groom are both based in London as were most of the guests who seem infatuated by Scottish weddings.  The weather was good and the combination of Kincardine Castle for the reception and a group of teepees for the wedding meal proved perfect.

The next day we had a family gathering of twenty for lunch at a cottage we had rented for the week with Aileen's mum, Ellie. Her great-granddaughter, Ellie, came along too and the sun graced us as we relaxed over a long lazy lunch outside with dozens of Shetland ponies in the adjacent fields to keep the little people happy.

  1. Comment from MOB. So glad that all of the family made it to the wedding including the 2 novegenarians.
    Scottish weddings are the greatest and so many London friends were prepared to make the journey.
    I am now receiving glowing thank-you letters which is lovely.
