The day started at Dalmeny Park House Hotel, where Jade was collected in the white Beauford Tourer. The 1930s-style convertible suited the morning perfectly, ribbons and silk flowers in place, and a chauffeur who had arrived early to keep everything calm before the off.
A local chapel by choice
Rather than travel far, Jade and Kieran chose St Mungo's in Townhead, a local chapel that meant something to a couple with roots in Royston and Bishopbriggs. Keeping the ceremony close to home was important to them, and it gave the day a genuine sense of place. As both work for the NHS, there was a quiet appropriateness to marrying in the heart of the city they serve.
The two silver Chrysler Baby Bentleys carried the wider party, with chauffeurs Stevie and Billy looking after the bridesmaids, keeping them safe and well entertained on the way. Andy, on driving duty and a local firefighter himself, got chatting about the area and, true to form, a little fire safety along the way. Not the usual wedding-day conversation, but a very Glasgow one, and one that the couple enjoyed.
Back to Dalmeny Park
With the ceremony done, the cars returned everyone to Dalmeny Park House Hotel for the celebrations to begin. The Beauford and the pair of Baby Bentleys made an elegant sight arriving back at the hotel, and there was complimentary bubbly for Jade and Kieran to mark the moment they became husband and wife.
It was a day built around the people and places that matter to them. Two NHS workers, a local chapel, chauffeurs who felt like part of the family, and a hotel that gave them the setting to bring everyone together. Every part of it had a personal touch, which is exactly what Jade and Kieran had hoped for.
