Ally asked me to collect him and Cat from Motherwell Station at 11.30 p.m. on Thursday. They are in Scotland to attend their friend Matthew’s wedding to a Cambuslang girl, Shauna. Ally is one of the two best men, and he rehearsed his speech to us, it’s very good; funny and affectionate and not offensive to any elderly relatives who may be present.
After working in their Glasgow offices on Friday Ally and Cat went to a pre-wedding dinner on Friday evening, and then the main event was on Saturday. There will also be a post wedding lunch on Sunday, so it is a full on wedding weekend for them!
So on Saturday morning I gave Ally a lift to Crossbasket Hotel because he was expected to arrive early for his Best Man duties. He looked very smart and handsome in his kilt. The hotel is on a back road near Blantyre and I have never been there before. It looks fabulous, like a wee castle. It has a reputation for good (but pricey) meals, so I must try it out some time with James. And then I went back there a couple of hours later to drop off Cat in time for the 1.30 p.m. wedding; she looked absolutely gorgeous in a pale blue dress with very high and very sparkly heels. After I dropped her off I drove straight to Carolyn’s baby shower in Jackton. It seems no time since her first baby shower a few weeks before Harris was born; in fact it has been three years and her new little one is due at the beginning of July. It was a relaxing and fun afternoon in great company; such a nice group of Carolyn’s friends and her Mum and mother-in-law. We played baby-related games (e.g. pin the dummy on the baby, guess the size of the bump) and quizzes, and ate a huge and delicious buffet. A great afternoon.
