Martin and Louisa

The wedding was a great success despite the weather. We arrived in good time and as is traditional at the Kemp weddings we were lead to the wrong seats and had to move to the front later on!! We sat behind Dougal who enjoyed taking Ruth's order of service and throwing it to her again and again and again and again....
The service went well although the Minister forgot that Louisa's brother was to do a reading and he did it himself instead!
The rain had held off all day but it began to pour about 3pm which was just when everyone was arriving at the church. After the service it was raining so hard that the wedding procession could not leave the church and no photos were taken outside.
We left our car and went on the coach into Edinburgh to the hotel. We had a lovely meal and had good company at our tables. (Ruth was at a table with Gilly and some old school friends of Martin) Mum and Dad were as usual at the bufties table.
The band set up and played the rest of the night.There was much "Dad dancing" on view. Still, Mum and Dad managed to show off their foxtrot on one occasion. There was only one Gay Gordon's and no other Scottish dances all night which was a pity.
The speeches were all very good and there were two "Best Men" - Graeme and Martin's best friend.
We left at 12.30 am while the dancing was still going on. Everyone was tired but happy and Martin and Louisa had had a great day. Next week they are going off to Africa for their honeymoon.
Now we have to pack and set off for Manchester.
