So on July 7th I married Mrs Akbar The Great…I thought I’d share the photos with you seeing as our man Peligro is walking down the isle soon too.
We had an incredible day even though it was raining.
We got married in Aberlour which is up in the Scottish Highlands where my Wife Helen is from. Up there they drink whisky, eat shortbread & haggis and fly fish for giant salmon!
We were married at St Margaret’s Church and had the reception at Inchberry Hall.
For food we had a gigantic hog roast (Asterix stylee!) and a giant rib of beef along with salmon and a ton of other awesme food that I didn’t get to eat due to nerves!
We had a disco and a ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee) band blow shit up too…highlights of the disco were Judas Priest’s “Living After Midnight” and AC/DCs “Long Way To The Top”. The highlight of the ceilidh was my mum attempting to do it straight after numerous wines and other goodies…she almost pissed hersel laughing.
At a later stage I shall spoil you with our amazing Honeymoon photos…we visited California, Arizona and Nevada. It kicked MAJOR ass!!!
So behold…Mr & Mrs Akbar The Great…
Mrs Akbar The Great and her dad Silky The Great on the way to church…Silky is Glasgow’s deadliest gangster…think Trainspotting’s Begby and you’re halfway there…
Myself and my bestmen tag-team combo…James & Pinz.
Mrs Akbar The Great arrives and Bishop Mark greets her…
This was the only part where I got the “fear”…just as Mrs Akbar The Great arrived and Bishop Mark asked us all to stand. As soon as I saw her though it was all good…
Bishop Mark goes to town…
Mrs & Mrs The Great go to town…
Mr Akbar signs his life over…
Mrs Akbar does the same…
Now time for some pure cheese to get the par-tay started!
This was on our way to the reception…the hipflask came out and it was some serious whisky time!
The reception hall…Mrs Akbar The Great likes pink…
The cake…
For those who are getting married you should seriously think about an Honesty bar…as you know the food & drink is what costs the bulk of a wedding…anyway the caterer suggested the honesty bar…basically you buy a shitload of booze and folk put money in a jar and just help themselves to what they want to drink all evening. Obviously it being a wedding folk put lots of money in the jar…this way the bar is free for folk to help themselves and you make your money back on booze plus some more!
Speech time!!! This was nerves extravaganza!!!
Bestman James…
Bestman Pinz…
Speeches over and it was time to cut the cake and par-tay!!!
First dance…our first dance was Ken Boothes “Everything I Own”…
