Thanks
Kimberley said:“I would like to thank all our families and friends for joining us in a once in a lifetime event; and our photographer, Ian Emmot, for doing our pictures and helping out with touches on the morning of the wedding. A massive thank you also goes to my friend Yvonne who helped me sort things and went oaboveand beyond; I’d be lost without her. “And a huge thank you to Alan Thomson, our piper, who blew us away; Graeme Paterson who we have known for a long time and made it all perfect; and Paige at Dalmeny Park who waited on me and made sure I was comfortable and helped us with everything.”
