Up in Scotland at the moment for Steve and Aoife's wedding. I travelled up to Edinburgh on the train on Thursday with Lisa and her other brothers Andrew and Tim who are over here for the wedding. The wedding was held Perthshire, near Scone and we were staying at the lovely Murrayshall Hotel, where the reception was held.
The actual ceremony was held at St Stephen's, Blairgowrie. It was a full Catholic service but very moving with lots of mentions of Val and Eileen, Steve's parents. We were bussed there and back through lovely Scottish countryside. The wedding breakfast was absolutely gorgeous with pate, courgette soup, beef and sticky toffee pudding. Each of the tables was named after a different NZ wine (we were Forest Hill) and there was a bottle of the appropriate wine on the table for us to drink. Favours were little bottles of Lindauer!
After the meal, we danced the night away to a ceilidh band - I managed not to fall over in my new heels which was a miracle! The Kiwi boys even did a haka to round the evening off - Tim was really the only one who new what he was doing but it was very impressive!
