4 nights in Scotland for my cousin's wedding

I had a fabulous time in Scotland. My cousins are brilliant, my Aunt and Uncle are so hospitable and made us right at home and it was a lovely break for me and John
We arrived late on Weds, went to bed, then went into Stirling to pick up our kilts, which after a little confusion over the sizing, turned out good in the end. We went shopping for a bit and had lunch at McDonalds. (sorry!!!)
Friday was the wedding, it was beautiful. It was in Albert Halls in Stirling. Helen and my other cousins looked amazing, and after the service, the Bride and Groom went up to Stirling Castle for some photos while the guests drank champagne and ate canapes in the sunshine. Then we had the meal, and that was so good!!! Just perfect. Then it was the party, where it was just a good old knees up and let your hair down night. Blow up guitars for the air guitar tunes, like 'Sweet child o' mine' and 'Summer of 69', and glow sticks for dance tracks and upbeat stuff. There was a chocolate fountain with marshmallows and strawberries, a selection of cheeses, and hot stovies, which was yummy. We had such a good time. Saturday was our trip to Stirling Castle, and that was so educational and humbling. Sunday we came home.

It was so nice to see my family and catch up with everybody and I miss my cousins already.
Now, only 10 days til our holiday to Greece to see Johns family.
