It was finally time to celebrate the wedding of our beautiful friends Ashlaich and Paul (Hashlog and Paup). This wedding was the entire reason for our trip. We’d catch glimpses of the invite on the fridge at home, through multiple lockdowns, willing that it would eventuate and it was actually happening!
We caught the train from Edinburgh to Stonehaven, along with our fellow Aussie’s, then bundled into a couple of minivans to take us to Drumtochty Castle. After picking our jaws up off the floor from the utter splendour of the sprawling grounds and the lavish, gilded interiors, we enjoyed some afternoon tea with our bride and groom to be.
The evening was spent in the cute little courtyard, strung with festoon lights. We enjoyed free flowing drinks, delicious fish and chips from a food truck and basked in the jovial mood that everyone was sharing. We were then surprised with a Scottish Cèilidh (pronounced kayley) dancing lesson, with the idea that we wouldn’t completely embarrass ourselves on the d-floor come the following night.
The following morning brought the day we’d been waiting for and it was glorious: full of love, sunshine, tartan, bagpipes, and smiles. We only have a few photos from the day but have included some borrowed from friends. Thanks Hashie and Paul for inviting us to be part of your day. You put on the best party and we love you!
Here a few photos from the wedding day, borrowed from friends :)
