How did you two meet?
We’re high school sweethearts; we started dating at
14 on a school trip to Europe, thanks to the help of
our friends!
Tell us about the engagement.
After dating for almost ten years, Bruce proposed in
The Roxburghe Hotel in Edinburgh, over a bottle of
Champagne, after whisking me away for a romantic
night together in September 2005.
How did you find the experience of planning the wedding?
I could not have organised the wedding without my
Mum, sisters Rachel and Sarah, and bridesmaid,
Jane. Bruce only had two main areas of concern –
roast beef and yorkshire puddings for the wedding
breakfast and enough alcohol to last a week in case
we got snowed in at the castle!
Kirsty
& Bruce
What made you choose your venue?
We had previously attended a family wedding in a
Scottish castle and loved the idea of spending a
weekend together with our families. My younger
sister was searching the internet when she found
Drumtochty and immediately it felt like it would be the
perfect venue. When we visited Drumtochty we were
all overcome with emotion and excitement. We knew
it would make our wedding day so memorable!
REAL LIFE
WEDDING
Any colour scheme or theme for the day?
Our colour scheme was mainly dictated by the
chocolate brown bridesmaids dresses, which had an
oatmeal sash, complementing Bruce’s modern black
tartan kilt outfit. My Uncle Ian and his wife Mandy of
Eden Flowers in Aberdeen then provided our
bouquets of golden Singapore orchids and
outstanding flower arrangements.
Elaine Gardiner & James Campbell
How did you feel walking down the aisle?
It was very emotional for me, but once I saw Bruce
waiting for me at the altar it made everything seem
calm. My Dad’s reassurance and humour kept things
lighthearted and happy.

James and Elaine were planning to
get married abroad, but they got
such a great reaction when they
told their families the happy news,
they decided they wanted as many
loved ones as possible sharing
their celebration!
P
eterhead couple James, 24, and Elaine, 22, met in a
Christian youth café when he was 17 and she was just
about to turn 16. “I wasn’t looking for a boyfriend,” Elaine
says, “but I guess he soon changed my mind!”

Elaine
& James
They were in Edinburgh when James proposed, on a trip to
the capital for Elaine’s birthday. “We had planned to start our
Christmas shopping,” Elaine remembers. “And on our second
day we visited the castle. As we were walking around I bent
down to sort one of my Ugg boots and when I stood up James
was down on one knee with a ring box. It happened so quickly, I
was so taken aback.” It was a surreal – and perfect – moment for
Elaine when James opened the box to reveal a stunning platinum
diamond ring. “Obviously I said yes right away. We spent the rest
of the afternoon walking about Edinburgh in a daze.”
James says his heart was pounding by the time he asked the
question. “Even though I thought she’d say yes, I was very
relieved when she did.”
They decided not to tell anyone until they returned home as
they wanted to break the news to their families face-to-face. “It
was difficult to hide the excitement in my voice when I spoke
to any of them,” Elaine smiles.
The couple had always thought they would have a wedding
abroad – very low-key with only immediate family and a few
close friends. However, after seeing everyone’s reactions to
their good news they realised how important it was to them to
have all their family and friends sharing their big day. “We didn’t
want a long engagement and knew it wouldn’t be possible to
ask everyone to book flights and so forth,” Elaine says. So they
soon decided on a wedding close to home.

What do you remember most about the ceremony?
Our minister, Rev Michael Turner, organised the
symbolic gesture of bringing together our families, with
the lighting of candles by both our mothers.
How did you enjoy having your photos taken?
It was a very relaxing part of the day, as Neil and Mairi
Fordyce whisked us away from all the guests so that we
would focus on each other and allow our emotions to
shine through. They made us feel comfortable and
allowed us to really enjoy the experience. The photos
are so natural and there’s a fabulous group photo of all
our guests outside the castle.
What was your first dance?
Billy Joel’s ‘Just The Way You Are’.
Did everything go to plan on the day?
It went so smoothly, thanks to the help of our
family, friends, Ewan and his staff at Drumtochty
and our photographer.
What were the highlights for you?
The setting of Drumtochty, which was so special that
it made me feel like a princess. And of course,
having all our friends and family there to share in the
most wonderful weekend of our life made
everything just perfect. Drumtochty’s outdoor jacuzzi
was also a highlight, where the groom and best man
enjoyed late-night Champagne celebrations!
What was your biggest challenge?
Keeping the groom in a suitable condition on our
casino night, which took place with all the guests at
Drumtochty on the Friday before the wedding.
Any advice for brides-to-be?
Take time to enjoy the preparations, making them
fun and relaxing for those involved. Most of all, relax,
hold your head up, smile and take the time to enjoy
the whole experience!
