I knew I was going to love this wedding soon as soon as I met Rachel and Fraser. After meeting them I found out that they met working on cruise ships which is where I met my girlfriend a good 14 years ago, also Fraser is originally from a few miles down the road where I grew up on the Solway coast, and best of all Rachel is a dancer on ships and if anyone has ever worked on cruise ships then you will know the dancers are great fun and not shy of a camera or a good party !! They got married at Dundas Castle which is an amazing Scottish Castle overlooking the Forth bridges. Rachel is Jewish so there was quite a few traditions that needed to be captured - again my girlfriend is Jewish so I was aware of all traditions. Loved that all the men wore a tartan Kippah's. Also Frasers dad made the Chuppah - the canopy they stood under during the ceremony. The only time when the two traditions never really worked out so well together is when Fraser went kilted comando which is a Scottish tradition, but unfortunately during the Hora which is the chair dance! The best mans speech was a peach, and luckily a lot of the US guests never quite got the Dalbeattie slant it was delivered in. Another great wedding, and great couple.
