After an amazing wedding day

-

Gemma saying: “We rolled Easter eggs together and it all kind of followed on from there.”

The two soon became devoted, a wonderfull­y chilled pair. So what are the qualities he has?

Gemma said: “It’s hard to define. He’s a shy guy but still full of beans. I like everything neat and tidy all the time but Andrew is extremely laid back about everything.

“But it works, we just work. It all fits together — and he’s a brilliant dad too.”

Gemma’s 13-year-old son Kyle would certainly agree and when the couple’s daughter, Kayla, came along four years ago their happiness was complete. The proud mum added: “They’re like peas in a pod.

“Kyle loves being big brother and just adores her.”

The actual proposal was a low-key event. Gemma said: “Andrew just asked me in the house on my birthday in March 2015. The previous year my birthday present had been a vacuum cleaner, so he had to do something to get me over the devastatio­n!”

The wedding was a beautifull­y relaxed affair and was captured by Sandra and Jack of Downfield Studio Photograph­y.

Gemma added: “Kayla was a flowergirl and she was a little bit nervous so when I was walked up the aisle by my dad she was with me, then Andrew held her for the rest of the ceremony”.

Gemma’s dress came from Enchanted Bride, of St Andrews, and her matron of honour was her sister-in-law Lisa Baldie. Andrew’s brother, Robert and long-time pal John Rice were his best men.

The “fabulous” band was Cut The Cake, from Dunfermlin­e, and the whole day was “amazing”. The last word comes from Andrew. Asked what is was about Gemma that made her a keeper, he said: “From the first time I met her I knew she was the love of my life, it’s that simple.”

Congratula­tions to a lovely family.
