My son Charlie (David to most people) and Kirsty got married on 9^th August 2013 in the Reformed Presbyterian Church on Gardiner’s Street in Glasgow. They are two smashing young people.



My diary entry for the day – “Manor Park Guest House. Dave & Kirtsy’s wedding. Up 7.00. Breakfast at 8.00. Damp start, lovely later. Put Mairi to the Irvines, Danes Drive for 9.00. Then found the boys didn’t have the right ties for kilts so Aiden & I rushed into centre. Train from Hyndland to Queen St. Then back out. All very nervous. I went to Sainsbury’s to get stuff for a picnic. We ate. I put the boys and flowers to church. Then back for Anne & Ruth. Kenny Stewart – a magnificent service. Then we headed to Strathblane Country Park. I took Anne, Hugh and Ruth. Ages for photos. Dave & Aiden did super speeches. I didn’t go to the dance. I took Aunt Jeana and Valeen back to Milngavie and chatted for a while. Then came into Glasgow. I came here to guest house and ate a bit. Then went to Chamberlane Road and parked. Took a walk down Woodend Drive and behind the lanes for old time’s sake. Then headed back to Strathblane. Saw Dave & Kirsty leave. Talked with Bill & Roddy. Then took Aiden, Ruth & Hugh back to Glasgow to guest house. Back out to Strathblane. Said goodbyes to the Irvines and others. Then at last back here at 1.00. The service was fantastic. I don’t like socialising. That’s me. But my wee boy who I love beyond words is married and so pleased to see him happy.”

Here are some photos taken by Chris and Jean – thanks both. They take smashing photos.
