WEIRD WEDDINGS
07 06
Bungee-jumping bride Sarah Wilkinson from Bridge of Cally in Perthshire chose her wedding day to perform her fi rst bungee jump. The dare-devil bride jumped 130ft from a bridge in a 1950s wedding dress and then just hours later donned a vintage rockabilly-style wedding dress to jump 40 metres backwards from Garry Bridge near Killiecrankie. Sarah’s husband, Kev, who is not an extreme sports fan, looked on in admiration as his bungee bride pulled off this unusual wedding-day stunt.
08 The £1 wedding
Georgina Porteous and Sid Innes bucked the trend for extravagant marriages by spending just £1 on their Highland wedding. The thrifty couple from Inverness paid the £70 statutory fee for their ceremony, but their only other expenditure was £1 for Georgina’s vintage wedding dress. The groom wore his old tweed suit, the bride made the wedding rings from antlers, the bride’s mum conducted the ceremony and the couple were pronounced husband and wife by a local minister who offered his services free of charge. The ceremony was held in a barn decked out in wild fl owers and hay bales and the guests brought along their own food and drink.

PHENOMENAL DAY Luisa Prete and David Kennedy from Airdrie ensured their big day at Glenskirlie Castle in Stirlingshire was a ‘phenomenal’ success by choosing an Irn-Bru theme for their wedding. The fi zzy drink-loving couple and their friends enjoyed an Irn-Bru fl avoured wedding cake before the Irn-Bru double decker bus whisked them
off to Glasgow airport to fl y to New York for their honeymoon.
LIFEBOATMEN TO THE RESCUE A lifeboat crew saved the big day for a couple who were getting married on Inchcolm island in the Firth of Forth. Bride Leigh Manson and Gregor Jamieson were horrifi ed when they realised that the celebrant who was to conduct their ceremony was stranded on the pier at South Queensferry, rather than on board the ferry on which they were travelling to the island. The Queensferry RNLI agreed to lay on an exercise and whisked the tardy celebrant to the island in double quick time.
