I just read your whole blog. Awesome!!! Well thought out and researched. Very interesting because I am Scottish, too. I am from the Barclay clan. I really enjoyed all of the traditions you pulled in and how you explained everything. Did you honeymoon in Scotland? Maybe for your 5th anniversary!

ReplyDeleteAwww! These are superbly pretty. Went for a cocktail party of my neighbor at one of the best wedding venues recently. He is such a perfect host. Managed everything single handed. All were given warm welcome and also the food ordered was exotic. Best were the drinks including wine and champagne. Barbeques and baked food served was sumptuous.
