The wedding today has, I am told, a purple - and green colour scheme, and there is an underlying theme of knitting (in my address and, as I discovered last night, in the groom's vows).

There is something fitting in the TT minister knitting a cover for a champagne bottle which will act as a visiual aid for the wedding address.

I'm looking forward to sharing in this very special day, in the grand surroundings of Glasgow University's Memorial Chapel.
