Most people who read this will probably know already. But I thought I would write a kind of mini-post anyway, mainly because I’m really happy and also for those who genuinely want to know a little more.

We got married!

We decided to elope to Maui and got married on 15/10/15.

We got married just out of Maalaea Harbour on a little boat just as the sun was going down. Needless to say, to anyone that knows us well, it wasn’t a fancy affair. Just the two of us, and Struan and Arran were good enough to travel all the way out (such a hardship for them to HAVE to spend a week in Hawaii – we know guys, we’ll have to make it up to you somehow…).

It was a simple Hawaiian ceremony – lei exchanging, a sand-pouring ceremony, followed by us literally tying the knot – with a Scottish blessing that the two of us really wanted.

Afterwards, we trekked back into town for our wedding dinner. We opted for Kimo’s, right on the shore and we couldn’t have picked better. You guys really looked after us, so thank you.

All in all, it was fantastic. I don’t know how ready the Hawaiian people were for two Scotsmen strutting around in their kilts. I was a little bit in love with my dress and my flowers, and enjoyed getting to dress up for a day.

We’re enjoying relaxing and winding down after it all in Kihei, getting some sun and having some cocktails. Thanks for all the best wishes, we really appreciate it!
