I realise that we all have our own personal tastes and some of my comments will not match other Gransnetters but here goes.

Andy looked great in his sporran and for once he was smiling.

Kim, his new wife looked lovely in her wedding dress, which had a slightly old fashioned feel about it. Her head band was very natural and it was good to see her hair held back so we could see her face.

To be honest I can't stand seeing usually over weight women in strapless wedding dresses. I am not that slim myself so I understand how showing less flesh can look better.

Judy Murray, who I realised was someone with a really nice sense of humour on SCD, looked sensational in her very elegant dress, hat and coat, however I have noticed some women who are grey, or blonde, wear virtually colourless clothes. She would have looked so much better with a bit more colour in her outfit.

The Duchess of Cornwall did the same thing at her wedding, lovely clothes but colourless.

What are your views?

The Scottish papers have extensive photos. All look lovely, but I was surprised to see all white/ cream being worn by guests. I always though this was the prerogative of the bride.

I thought Judy Murray looked great. She has a figure to die for so can wear very stylish clothes. A little splash of colour would have been nice though.

I actually thought the Duchess of Cornwall looked brilliant at her wedding to Prince Charles. Her outfit was a sort of greeny blue, not colourless at all? And that hat with the circular feather thingies suited her, too.

They both looked very happy indeed and it was lovely to see them both having such a good time and smiling instead of biting their nails at tense matches.

I thought that her dress was charming - feminine but fashionable - lovely.

Yes, it was lovely to see them looking so happy and relaxed, and I liked the dress.

Not so keen on Judy's hat though!

Mishap Sun 12-Apr-15 17:32:05

Yes - it looked like something out of one of my less-visited kitchen cupboards!

I've just looked at the pictures on BBC Scotland news and I do like his gran's outfit.
Good luck to them both.

I also thought it was lovely the way the whole town celebrated with them and put up all the decorations - how nice that there was no tacky selling of the wedding to Hello with the bride covered up/hidden and everyone banned from taking photos. I thought Andy scrubbed up really well - I once went to a wedding where the groom and all his male relatives wore kilts and they all looked amazing - there is clearly something about a kilt...

Mishap Sun 12-Apr-15 18:08:26

In once sang at a wedding where the groom wore a kilt, and during the sermon he sat in the choir stalls, opposite the choir. No - he did not wear underpants, and we had a job controlling the hysteria of the little choir girls in the front row who had the best view!

They looked so happy! He looked great in the kilt, and her dress was beautiful.
However, not sure I can say much about the bridesmaids! If you can't say anything nice,don't say anything!

I think it was a lovely idea to have the wedding in Dumb!and.

Lona Sun 12-Apr-15 18:11:09

I DID NOT TYPE DUMBLAND!!
Dunblane!

whitewave Sun 12-Apr-15 18:11:53

They all looked as if they could do with a vest ongrin

Soutra Sun 12-Apr-15 18:15:23

I think the residents of Dunblane might have a fit to hear it called "Dumbland" gringrin Predictive spelling has a lot to answer for!!!
PS I agree about the bridesmaids and wondered (unworthily) if Kim was continuing the tradition of always choosing bridesmaids and their dresses to look frumpy so that the bride looks even more glam! Not that Kim needed to although she is not as slim as I had thought from seeing her at Andy's matches. You don't think there is an announcement in the offing???hmm?

Lona Sun 12-Apr-15 18:17:17

I did think she looked a tad 'matronly' but maybe she is just well endowed.

ninathenana Sun 12-Apr-15 18:28:30

Haven't seen pics of the bridesmaids. I was surprised to see Judy in white. I agree with J52 that's the brides privilege.
Bride and groom looked lovely.

Bez Sun 12-Apr-15 18:29:39

I think the dress made her look fatter than she really is - was all sort of gathered fabric and pulled in at her waist - a long line might have shown her figure off more.
I thought Judy's hat was spoilt by that strange thing sort of under the brim - but the rest of the outfit very nice.

J52 Sun 12-Apr-15 18:31:48

The back of the dress was stunning. I expect the guests will appreciate it when she takes her veil off later. x

Bez Sun 12-Apr-15 18:34:00

Are did you see that photo J52 I have only seen the same couple everywhere.

Bez Sun 12-Apr-15 18:36:20

I thought I typed where did you see the photo!

rosequartz Sun 12-Apr-15 18:37:12

I thought Judy looked lovely but I thought it was bad etiquette to wear white at a wedding if you are not the bride - especially as mother of the groom.

I went to a wedding once where bride, bridesmaids, mother of the bride, pageboys and the dressmaker who made the bridesmaids dresses were all in a creamy off-white. Beautiful, but perhaps not right.
The mother of the groom confided in me that she felt quite 'left out of the picture' (it had all been a 'big secret') but in fact she looked the best in her fuschia and lilac ensemble!

Judy's outfit looked gold to me. Seemed like a fine traditional Scottish wedding.

Mishap Sun 12-Apr-15 19:31:37

I thought that Kim looked very feminine - not a model stick woman - a real woman.

I do admire them for not going down the "Hello" route and being seduced by megabucks, but just having a happy family wedding.

Did anyone see the bit about the photographer at the rehearsal on the previous day dropping dead from a heart attack poor chap - he was only 47.

J52 Sun 12-Apr-15 19:37:57

Bed in the Scottish Sunday's, but also on BBC website, it has video footage. X

J52 Sun 12-Apr-15 19:38:27

Sorry Bez! Auto correct! x
