In past times, when I served in Parishes where weddings were few and far between, I simply classed myself as lucky to have had a wedding at all! However, at St Augustine’s they seem to come thick and fast at times! When this happens, I resist, (no I don’t), the temptation to categorise them! (eg “best”, “funniest speeches”, “most laid-back”, “biggest”, etc etc.
Friday’s wedding between Leeanne and Craig has to be “the poshest” of this year! (Hopeful of some pics for the Photo Gallery soon.) Top Hats, tails, amazing dresses, and the opulence of The Cameron House Hotel on the shores of Loch Lomond, combined to make it an epic! Although I was stuck with orange juice and Red Bull, the RW had a ball, and says the champaign was to die for! And die she nearly did the following day. The RW is not as young or as tolerant to alcohol as she once was!
However, normal service has resumed, and we can look back on Friday as one of the highlights of our social calendar! However, that’s our weddings all over, I think, until spring at least!
I sympathise with a local C of S minister, “The Bishop of Bonhill”, who has been known to have five weddings in an afternoon! More than most parishes in the Pisckie Church have in a year!
