The wedding of the year

So this weekend I attended the wedding of the year. My friends Rich and Lorna tied the knot after what feels like an age of anticipation. It was a lovely day and as I write this I am sipping on a small night cap of some of the whisky I got as a thank you for helping out.

Pictures can be seen here.

I took most of the week off to attend and generally help out in what small way I could. The weather was unusually good, especially considering that it was pouring with rain at the start of the week and my accomodation was excellent, I have a number of regular haunts in Glasgow and I cannot thank my hosts enough for looking after me despite having to work themselves and also recommending activities to keep me entertained and out of their hair.

As a result this trip to Glasgow feels like it was something of a mini holiday. I went to the Kelvin Grove museum, I adopted a small project to keep my weekends from being dull, met up with an old friend for the first time (that's not a typo, we really only properly met for the first time this trip. See if you can figure that out) and I checked into an expensive(ish) hotel at 2 am after a wedding.

I may not be able to spend any money on anything other than beans for the next couple of weeks after this excess but I had a really great time with some very dear friends. Not bad going ...

'Kelvingrove' is spelled together, both when referring to the particular area of Glasgow and to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum!

It was the wedding of the year and you were the 'best' man! (barring my husband of course!)
