Alan's kilty
But the question is: Was he or was he not, wearing pants underneath?Hi folksters, it's just us again. No, we haven't buggared off round the world again, but we have been on a big expedition to ...wait for it............................... AYR where our good friends Morven and Craig were married this weekend. With Alan bolted in as Best Man, we couldn't resist publishing the photos on our Travelblog site to let you all see what a fab time we had, and of course how good Mr McCabe looks in his fabulous kilt. (Oh yeah.... Morven & Craig, you both polished up not bad aswell!!). Now, we have been to a few good weddings in our time, but we have to say that this was definately one of the very best ever! The whole day was superb from start to finish and we had an excellent time.
We headed over to Ayr, which is a seaside town situated on the West Coast about 4pm on Thursday, where a number of Morv's family from the
Isle of Barra were staying for the weekend. This was great as we got to enjoy the company of a lot of the wedding party before the BIG event the next day. We were all staying at the Horizon Hotel on
the seafront, which was particularly well located for that last minute trip into town to pick up the black kilt socks which the hire company had omitted to include from Alan's order. Dash dash dash!!!
Craig & Morv were married in a quaint 'oldy worldy' Coach House Hotel called the
Brig O' Doon, which is in close proximity to the location of the bridge described in the Rabbie Burns tale of
Tam O Shanter where a drunken horseman is chased through the night by witches and only escapes as he crosses this bridge - of course EVERYONE knows that witches can't cross water! Unfortunately Tam's horse comes off a bit worse for wear, as his horse has it's tail ripped out by one of the scraggy hags! Anyway - we never saw any witches on Friday at the wedding - although by 2am Shaz had a hairstyle that could easily have passed for one! *See photos - ouch!*
Everything about the occasion was utterly fab. Morven looked absolutely stunning - as you'll see from the photos - and the ceremony was beautiful, including a very poignant rose exchange which we're sure brought a tear to the eyes of the whole
congregation. The lovely bride and her dad George were piped into the hall by Jo the lone bagpiper - very atmospheric. The food was ace (including a rather superb raspberry mousse cheesecake), the drinks were flowing, and the music was exceptionally well catered for by the amazing
Vatersay Boys who travelled all the way from Barra to ensure our feet were throbbing by 10pm! The whole crowd were enthusiastically jigging the night away into the wee small hours, even Mr McCabe!
Morv & Craig are now on their honeymoon in mainland Europe, with their first stop being a trip to Paris. We're looking forward to seeing them when they get back - and M&C - if you are reading this while you are away....don't forget the postcards!
Hope you enjoy the piccies,
