Thankyou, all of you, for your lovely comments and congratulations!
I thought you might appreciate hearing a little more about the handmade elements of our wedding.
A few years ago, Tom decided to have a kilt made. His surname is Barr, and the tartan of that name is also associated with a popular Scottish soft-drinks brand. Now, Tom likes Irn Bru as much as the next man, but he does not look so great in orange, and all tartans are invented traditions anyway…so Tom invented his own tradition, picking a tartan that he liked, and which was associated with a place that was very special to both of us – Finlaggan on the Isle of Islay. Finlaggan was once the power base of the MacDonalds, and the tartan Tom chose is MacDonald of the Isles. We never imagined then that one day we should be married at Finlaggan!
I knit Tom’s kilt hose, from our new wool (of which more soon). The yarn is sport weight, and I worked the hose at a relatively tight gauge, and bottom up, which not only suited the heart-shaped cable we chose, but also meant Tom could try them on as I knitted.
This meant that I could double-check the calf shaping and length as I went, which I found very reassuring! The hose fit really well.
Tom finished off his hose with the true highland flourish of a sgian dubh, which he borrowed from our lovely next door neighbours, Niall and Mairi.
Bruce had to look his best as well, so he wore a collar in the same tartan.
Bruce’s collar was made for us by Jan at Scottesque, who of course also designed and made my kilt (the purpose of this visit, back in May). I wanted my kilt long and dramatic, and Jan did a brilliant job, poofing out the bias-cut pieces with tulle and a taffeta underskirt.
I am wearing a cardigan of my own design . . .
. . . which features the same heart-shaped cable as Tom’s hose.
The brooch I am wearing is an incredibly beautiful cairngorm – a family heirloom again kindly lent to us by Mairi. Cables and brooch together really were a perfect match!
I also made my head piece – from a plastic headband and a beautiful piece of beaded trim I found on eBay. . .
. . . and had lots of fun fashioning myself a bouquet of buttons.
If you google “button bouquet” you can see how simple a process this is – you just need some floristry wire, a few bits of ribbon and trim, and a shed load of buttons.
My top-tip is to use felt or lace flowers to create a wee button “sandwich” – the felt bits mean you can create more blooms with less buttons, and that the individual blooms themselves prove a little less heavy.
One thing I loved about making my bouquet was that I could include buttons from my grandma, and my mum, or that were originally gifts to me from friends. Felix, Anne, Lara, and Nic – your buttons were all in my bouquet!
Tom made our wedding cake.
He used a Mary Berry recipe (which has now overtaken Jane Grigson as his favourite fruit cake), fed it liberally with sherry, and decorated it himself.
I can confirm that it is a cake as delicious as it is lovely!
The fair-isle bunting with which we decked out our van was not hand-made – I bought it in Shetland – but it certainly did the job of creating a jolly and very knitterly wedding-wagon! I drove us to and from our wedding (Tom having had a beer beforehand) and very much enjoyed pootling down the Islay roads, listening to Ella and Louis, and waving at everyone we met. Later on, in the Port Charlotte hotel, I was recognised as “that bride driving a camper van”, an appellation which made me oddly happy.
Finally, I have to mention the outfits of our well-dressed best couple. Gordon looks very fine in his Anderson kilt, and a pair of John Anderson kilt hose, knitted for him by Mel. Mel is wearing a Scottesque midi-kilt in the “Highland granite” tartan. She also made herself a lovely lace-weight top, by adapting Gudrun’s beautiful Laar cardigan pattern into a jumper.
Our wedding was small and intimate, and both of us very much enjoyed being able to make it a deeply personal occasion infused with our own meanings, and to focus on a few details which made it really feel like us. That said, I’m not sure I’d recommend the somewhat pressurised activity of designing and knitting a cardigan and a pair of kilt hose to a tight and somewhat important deadline . . .
Slainte!

Dear Kate and Tom,
This blogpost and the previous one just radiate with love and warmth. The poem by Yeats and the Gaelic blessing are very moving. I can imagine the stress of having to finish so many projects (even if they hadn’t been of your design!) in so little time with such a strict deadline. It looks wonderful on both of you. Thanks for sharing the story of the tartan, I was wondering about it. I knew “clan-tartans” were an invented tradition, but since the invention of it took place a long while ago, it could almost be a tradition in it’s own right, couldn’t it?
Islay looks stunning as well. It’s a wonder Bruce was able to contain himself, having to wait until his Humans had finished all the talking, kissing and crying before continuing his walk ;) Was there a special wedding-potato for him?
Thank you for sharing this meaningful day with us.

We also each wore a bit of his family (Scott) tartan by means of a sash (his the green version and mine was red). He joked that the wedding would be closed down for indecency if he wore the only kilt he owned. It hailed from his primary school days.
Our very best wishes to you both for a long and happy life together and a big ole rub on the ears for Bruce.
