On September 13th, my sister and her husband Colin had their 2nd wedding reception– this time in Glasgow, for all of the Scottish guests who were unable to make it to the US reception (or maybe it was just an excuse for my sister to wear her dress again?). While there I met the Scottish equivalent of Nancy, the lovely Brenda of Eye Candy. I truly wish I had a Nancy or a Brenda to do my makeup every day. Life is just better with fake eyelashes. Anyway Brenda was awesome and made us all look great — we were her last clients before she leaves to travel the world working on a cruise ship!

The reception was held at the Millenium in George Square and the guests enjoyed music from a traditional Ceilidh band as well as a “regular” band. Elements from the American wedding were brought over as well – a white and purple wedding cake, purple hydrangea centerpieces and a slideshow of photos set to the ceremony music. We all had a wonderful time, many thanks to Colin’s parents Arlene and Michael who were fabulous hosts. And all of the American men fully enjoyed wearing their kilts… pictures soon!
