Claire and Giuseppe's Wedding

My best friend from school, Claire, got married on 26th November - so here are some photos of a fantastic day!


Claire with her dad - in St Margarets Church, South Queensferry.  Amazing dress, which was absolutely stunning :-)


Claire's lovely bridesmaids - her four sisters!  Anne-Marie had made all the invites, and lovely order of services rolled into scrolls and tied with navy ribbon.  Giuseppe's nephews handed out the scrolls, which was very cute.

Exchanging vows!  (with Fr McDonald,  a friend of Claire's family)

The rings!

Signing the register



Claire and Giuseppe at the reception - Orocco Pier.  Lovely venue - lots of twinkly lights in the room which made it quite magical!  Nice touches all evening from the favours (pin badges supporting cancer research) to the evening snack  - fish and chips in a poke (scottish word ;-)) which was styled like a newspaper printed with pictures of Claire and Giuseppe.    The band were amazing- same one as Gillian had, and they were just as good this time round.  (called Northern Star if anyone looking for a very good wedding band!)  Speeches were excellent and there was a lovely atmosphere all evening.

'The girls' - all great friends from school

The cake.  Lovely photos of Claire and Giuseppe's parents on their wedding day on either side.  Sadly Claire's mum and Giuseppe's dad are no longer with us, but were very much remembered on the day.


Mini Claire and Giuseppe cake topper - made by me (from fimo clay)!!

Claire and Giuseppe's names projected onto the shore outside (venue overlooks river forth and the road bridge).  You could go out onto a wee balcony to see this, which looked amazing.
