What a wonderful wedding! Big thanks to our MC Lauriston Muirhead, Father Peter Mcleod-Miller, Bridget Doyle (Baroness bride), Jim Sloan (MP) and Marjorie Glanville (music).
Congratulations to all involved and thanks also to those who joined us at the wedding. The order of service for the wedding is here.
