Meet the Usher

Colin, aka "CJ" aka "Mr CJ to you," Elaine's brother will be doing the ushering duties for you. If you're not too sure where you're going, what you're doing or what the world is coming to, CJ is yer man. Sit in the wrong chair or miss a photo session and he will give you a thorough scowling and I pity the fool who gets scowled at by CJ.

Seriously, Colin should be around a bit earlier than everyone else. Please introduce yourself to him when you get there as he'll be rounding up everyone for transport after the event. If you're still not sure what he looks like then, as the photo below shows, he looks nothing like Mr T.

5 Weeks

Actually, a little less than 5 weeks to go now. We'll be sending email reminders to those who haven't RSVP'd shortly so this is your chance to get in contact if you haven't already to ask questions about arrangements and so on. I think we have heard informally from everyone but we will need to arrange transport between Discovery and the Ship for those who don't have their own.

Preparations seem to be complete otherwise. Right now, it's the end of my project on May 29th and Elaine's got to get a month ahead at work so it's all work and rather little play. Seems like a sacrifice worth making.

Finally though, if you all wish very, very hard and email Elaine, maybe she'll write the blog entry about what Discovery means to her that she has promised...

Ship to Ship transport

As you know, the reception after the wedding is being held at the Ship Inn in Broughty Ferry. There is likely to be convoy leaving Discovery around 6:30 & C.J. the usher will help round everyone up. If you check out the wedding venues map then that should help keep you straight.

Do be warned that parking near the Ship Inn can be challenging due to lack of space. If you have your own car and have not yet settled on a place to stay, possibly the Fisherman's Tavern is the easiest option. Can't guarantee it's availability because they only do bookings over the phone but it's less than a 5 minute walk from The Ship Inn and you can park up round there.

If you want to go green then let us know and we'll arrange transport for you. On that front, we've just joined the Edinburgh City Car Club. It's a great idea. Nothing to do with the wedding, we just think more people should know about it.
