It s been quite quiet on this blog lately – I will try and see if I can catch up with the things I ve been up to.
Pete, Helena, Femi and Graham in front of Edinburgh Castle
Two weeks ago I went up to Scotland for my first time. Femi s brother Pete was getting married with Vicky and I was invited along. I flew up to Edinburgh were I stayed with Femi, Helena and Graham for a couple of days before the wedding. Pete took us around Edinburgh and the picture above shows the guys in front of Edinburgh Castle.
The wedding was held at a nice hotel in Dunfermeline not to far from where Pete and Vicky lives north of Edinburgh. Here is a couple of pictures:

Big hats and kilts
It was a really great day with a relaxed atmosphere and good spirit. I thought It was really impressive to see guys in kilts, ladies in big hats or hair ornaments and for the dance after the reception Femi and Pete s parents came in original dresses from Nigeria.

As the evening progressed the band arrived and kicked up some dirt and played indie rock music. The young ones danced a lot but I think Pete and Vicky were the ones to dance the most.

All in all a fantastic day with great people, great food and great fun. I am really glad I got invited.
See the rest of my pictures from the wedding at flickr.
Wow must have been great to see how they managed to put together a Scottish/African wedding. Can t wait to hear about what else you have been up to
