Ruth & Ian's Wedding

Well, we finally got there! Ruth and I were married on 1st May 2005 at Balbirnie House Hotel in Fife!

Thank you SO much to everyone who came to our wedding - we had a wonderful day and it was great to have all our friends and family around us. Here are some of out photos to remind you of the day.

Thanks also to Leslie Black, the photographer, who did such a splendid job of capturing out big day.

If you would like prints of any of these photos then please get in touch with us (use the contact button on the left) and we'll make the appropriate arrangements.

2005-05-01_Wedding_0142_55150011.jpg ...and Neil and Keith are definitely amused. The question is "at" or "with"?!?!?

2005-05-01_Wedding_0164_55150033.jpg One lesson, zero confidence and four left feet. Surely we were doomed?
2005-05-01_Wedding_0173_55180015.jpg I don't know how but we even managed to have some fun with it.

2005-05-01_Wedding_0216_55140036.jpg Sandy and Sarah. Sarah - we're soooo sorry we spelt your name wrong but it was lovely to meet you!
2005-05-01_Wedding_0178_55180020.jpg Aww - sickening again. Sorry.

The End.
