The newly wed Sarah and Stuart Auld

This would end up being a test for me - not only was I expected to bring the camera, but I was also the Best Man for my closest mate Stu. Held at the Mason’s Laurelbank Cottage at Willoughby the gents of the ceremony were in kilts (a rather amusing move from Stuart who, while having some Scottish blood in him no doubt, isn’t really exceedingly Scottish with the exception perhaps of a fondness for Scotch Whiskey). The day was rather fun, although it was a bit of an odd feeling wandering around in a formal outfit but feeling more like wearing just a towel on the bottom half of your body (not to mention the classic lace up shoes and long socks).

As Nick was in the New York and unable to make an appearance in person, I managed to cajole him into recording a high quality (technically, see the youtube video to understand). Definitely helped break the ice for my speech - so many thanks mate!

Nick’s video and photos after the break.
