| Around 40 Carnethies joined the other guests at John and Sere's wedding in Tobermory. On the friday night we helped tidy the hall and then had a good few pints in The Mishnish before returning to the Youth Hostel for a few more. The late contingent arrived off the boat at 12:30. | |||

Serena and Moira headed off for a quck run at 8am before
a marathon in the hair dresser.

The rest of us met John at 9am and had a run to the
Lighthose and back across the golf course.
|

Then John decided to have a swim.

Most of us folllowed. I was asked by a tourist if it was a charity event! |

Serena's parents were waiting patiently for Serena to get ready after she came back from the hairdresser at 11:55 Leaving only 5 minutes to get ready. |
) |
But at last (12:20) she was ready. But on the way to
the Church we had to wait for a delivery lorry to move out of the way.
|
) |
She was 27 minutes late. But there was a lovely service
in the very small church with the guests inside and outside. The bridesmaids
were beautiful.

The piper played as the couple left the church in
showeres of rose petals.
