Wedding day 1 for Sarah and Jonathan and all went well.
Their sitting room was looking lovely and the guests were all visible at the top of the Zoom screen, from Australia, Netherlands and different parts of UK.
The bride entered with her mobile phone showing her Dad 'virtually' giving her away to the sounds of 'Highland Cathedral' and the groom was wearing his kilt.
The minister gave a lovely address, promises made and rings exchanged, friends did a reading and a prayer, and with a final blessing from Rev Andy the ceremony was over. Then each of the guests had an opportunity to say a few words to the happy couple.
It was certainly different to 'plan A' but very happy none for the less.
Afterwards we had dinner on Zoom with Jonathan and Sarah and her parents and enjoyed the time together before signing off.
Three good things
1. The amazing possibilities of technology.
2. Sunshine and lots of tidying up around the house.
3. Sharing photos with friends and family.
PS at a later date there will be a face to face event to sign all the legal documents and, in October, a celebration with lunch and ceilidh at the hotel where the reception was planned for yesterday. That's going to give them 3 wedding anniversaries 😄😄😄
Aw, how absolutely lovely. What a beautiful collage to mark the event. I'm sure it has been a very emotional time for all concerned, but how lovely that they went ahead, despite the restrictions! I can only imagine the party they will have in October! It looks as if you two enjoyed the moment as well, and it will certainly be memorable - no-one could ever have imagined getting married like this, but how wonderful that technology allowed you all to be together to share the occasion. Congratulations to all concerned!!!
It sounds amazing and I think it is wonderful how people can rise above the current circumstances and instead of lamenting what could have been create something unique and memorable. Wishing them every happiness!
Well I think you have had the best wedding ever. Because of technology you were all able to be present from all corners of the world ...it’s difficult to get everyone together at the best of times when so much travel is involved but you managed it beautifully....so much to look forward to later in the year hopefully too. Congratulations to Jonathan & Sarah!
Thank you for your lovely comments. It was lovely to know people far away were with us in the best possible way. For David 1.30am wasn't possible but it was all recorded on zoom so he will have seen it today.
And today certainly felt like the day after the wedding....a little flat! But lovely for gardening and a walk later. 😊
