Flight Club

Saturday saw the wedding of VK and KG, the first church wedding I have been to for some four years, although come to think of it a little over two years ago there was another religious wedding which, thanks to an allowance in Scottish laws, was held outside.

Many of our friends have had quirky weddings in one way or another and this was no exception: the reception was effectively a small kite festival with invited guests only. There was a hog roast, an ice cream van, and flying demonstrations from some of the best kite flyers in the UK -- including the reigning UK individuals champion. The bride and groom's "first dance" was a performance of their kite ballet to the tune of "Me and My Shadow", which after a couple of false starts due to far too little wind, they did an admirable job of.

I really must fly kites more often.
