* Played as Fiona entered
** Played as we left

For me it started with the great weather, practicing my speech in the sun while I waited in trepidation for Niall (best man) to return from the airport with his missing case containing kilts, shirts etc. With him back, Tom (best man) rounded up and a quorum of close friends we headed off on foot for the Ca`Farsetti. However, having arrived not there but at the reception destination I added my 2 cents to the navigation effort and we were eventually marching though streets, over bridges and through St Mark’s Square at a good rate of knots. Fear of arriving late propelled us however, and, bathed in sweat but victorious we arrived just in time.

So proud I was as I strode in flanked by my best men, but prouder still, and indescribably so the moment Fiona appeared in the doorway. Immediately I felt faint, to see my wife-to-be walking in as the music reached crescendo is a moment I shall never forget. I am sure I felt even Venice pause.
Thank you to all of our guests for making that day in June, our 23rd, more wonderful every minute.

THIS IS WHERE WE NEED YOUR HELP

Did you take any photos? If so we would love to see them and will add them to the gallery for everyone to enjoy. If your photos are non-digital then I can scan them in for you so drop me a line for our address. We are keen to do this soon so we don’t lose the momentum and if you can help we would be eternally grateful. Any queries, just email me on mkj@cyno.co.uk

I wanted to update you with general directions, maps, itinerary info etc – all in the aim of making your day stress free and enjoyable.

Finally, just to say that Fi and I have been heartened to hear from our guests ahead of the big day about much you are looking forward to the 23rd, this has made us so happy.

Transport
The ceremony is in the Sala Stucchi at Ca Farsetti, which is on the Grand Canal and accessible by either boat, or on foot. We have arranged transport by a flotilla of water taxis after the ceremony to take you to the reception at the Palazzo Contarini so you don’t have to worry about marching across Venice in mid summer!

Timing (changed!)
Doors to the Sala Stucchi at the Ca Farsetti open at 3pm, with the ceremony commencing at 3.30pm

The dance and kilts
We have brought a little piece of Scotland to Venice and are having a Ceilidh (well the piper is from Bologna but he looks the part!).

The wedding party men and ushers will all be kilted up so why not join us?
