- Bridesmaids's dresses purchased - details not being published yet, but needless to say that having been purchased from Catherine's of "Pertyck" (well it sounds more upmarket than Partick!), they are posh and lovely and very fit for purpose. Most importantly both bride and bridesmaids are very happy with their ultimate choice.
- The bride has now been initiated into the properties and uses of voile in wedding venue decor (please note not for making wedding outfits - lol!) having been accompanied by parents on visit to Glasgow fabric shop.
- Rev Iain Urquhart, the Gaelic chaplain at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig has rescued us from our ministerial plight and agreed to conduct the marriage ceremony. This is wonderful news as he is erudite, eloquent and a wonderful Gaelic speaker and can be relied on to entertain the guests with his pithy comments re the bride's family (causing only a very slight concern to mother and father of bride at present!).
- Kirsty, aka chief bridesmaid of bride (aka Cbob) spent a few days at Dubhard assisting and encouraging (well insisting that we remain on task!) with the production of the wedding invitations. Readers should note that in the interests of research, the aforementioned bridesmaid had to forfeit her diet in order to sample a selection of chocolates (these having been made in order to be measured for the ordering of favour boxes - this was duly done after the consumption of the chocolates for which we thank Kirsty).
- Mob has finally succumbed and joined bride, bridesmaids and mother of bridesmaids in quest for sylph-like figures on June 3rd. However a slight hiccup by way of a three lb weight gain was encountered during family weekend attending Celtic Connections in Glasgow and being forced (writer's licence here!) to eat heartily (not least black pudding brought back from Charley Barley in Stornoway by the bride!), drink, ie alcoholic beverages (will blame sister Joan, aka mother-of-bridesmaids, for this slight indiscretion) and generally helping one's husband, aka father-of-bride to celebrate his birthday. This is now being rectified, though another few hiccups loom in the guise of a works' night out and a bridesmaid's 21st birthday .......
- Meanwhile, though mother of groom, aka Mog, is busy shopping for outfits she has not succumbed to the idea of buying a matching HAT for her outfit. Fascinators rule at present ...

If they want to get ahead, should they get a hat?
