A Celebration of Love: Mum & Ian’s Wedding

 On Wednesday 1st July 2015, during the hottest afternoon of the year, Mum & Ian celebrated their love for one another by getting Wed. I’ve never seen my mum so full of excitement, she was like a child on christmas day. She looked exceptionally divine.

Even notoriously grumpy Ian, smiled and laughed often.

Mum and Ian were both lit up with happiness and radiated joy. I have never seen either of them so ecstatic. I was lovely and I felt honoured to see it and share the day with them.

As the Best Man, I had come up with the idea for the fishing trip stag do. But my role on the day was to get the men dressed in full traditional Scottish dress – including kilt and sporran. I think looking at the photos below, I did a pretty good job.

As Son of the Bride (I’m not sure if this is an official wedding role, but if it isn’t, it should be), I spent my time greeting, getting and entertaining.

Being so busy doing these two roles, I didn’t get time to take many photos. I was too busy being in them! But here’s a few photos I’ve managed to get hold of from other people:

After the ceremony, we all went back to Mum & Ian’s for a barbecue that went on late into the evening. This was followed up on the Friday by a much bigger party. It was a joint celebration of Mum and Ian’s Wedding and Mum’s Fiftieth Birthday (which had been on the same day that they had got married on).

I had a great time and wish them many, many more happy, joyful and exciting times ahead.

Write soon,

Out Every Night

By Adventures, Friends & Family, Gay, Life, Love & RelationshipsNo Comments

Hi All,

I’ve been out all this week.

Monday – I went out for a meal. The meal however was over shadowed by an ex-partner being in the same resturant with his new partner. I was glad to see that he was happy and had moved on but felt uncomfortable, due to the fact we’ve not really spoken since our break up some time ago. I would loved to have stayed friends with him, as he started off as a friend and was a good one. Seeing him there knocked me for six and I just wanted the floor to swallow me up. However, once he was gone the meal was more enjoyable.

Tuesday – Mum’s Birthday. I didn’t forget it, just didn’t realise it was the first of July already. Time seems to have flown by this year. I guess it must do for people who are busy working, as I’ve been a student most of my working life. I picked her up from work and gave her some flowers. However my older brother upstaged me by buying some too, before I did. Anyone who knows me will know I hate to be upstaged, but he cooked me tea, so I didn’t have to kill him!

Wednesday I got a text from my good friend Steve requesting emergency last minute help moving. So after three car loads he was moved and I got home very late.

Today (Thursday) I was suppose to be working, but it was canceled. In honestly, I am so glad it was. It mean’t I could go home and do all my domestic tasks that had been building up.

Friday (tomorrow) I shall be going to Manchester Gay Village to watch The Lady Boy’s of Bankcock. I have seen them for the last 2 years, they always put on a fantastic show! Can’t wait.

In relation to the site, I have put back the publish date of my Adventures Road Trip blog due to not having time to complete it. I know, I need to get it up there. Once it’s up I can start planning the next one. I have however created a June 08 Archive to keep the home page from getting too long.

So happy reading, speak soon.

Antony
