The wedding ceremony itself will take place at Tolquhon Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Hopefully we'll have good weather and will be able to hold the service in what was the Great Hall, but with it being Scotland the chances of rain are quite high, so we might be getting married in what was once the castle kitchens!
The castle itself is managed by Historic Scotland and details can be found at the following website. http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/properties_sites_detail.htm?propertyID=PL_289 Parts of the castle date as far back as 1420 however the vast majority of it was constructed by William Forbes in the late 1500's. With the exception of the old tower the building is not a defensive site and was built with comfort in mind.
Historic Scotland do operate a strict "no confetti" policy which also excludes rose petals. If people desperately want to throw things at us (which I can understand the appeal of!) then bubbles are suggested - and they're very good fun too.
If all goes according to plan the ceremony will begin at eleven o'clock. When this is finished those who attended the wedding will set off for a bit of lunch (see post entitled "food"). After a nice long meal and little tipple we'll head back to Upper Coullie for a very relaxed gathering at around four o'clock.
