Lady Iona

News from Scotland - Lady Iona Keith and Mark Hopkins were married on May 17, 2008 at Chapel of Garioch, with reception following at Harthill Castle.
Iona reported that they had a wonderful day and that the sun shone and it was just glorious, which meant they could be outside.
She said it was the "Best day of my life and Mark enjoyed it so much that he said he could get married to me every year!!"
The Chapel of Garioch is a small church in the village of Chapel of Garioch which is tiny.  It has a school, but is so small it doesn't have a post office or even a little local shop.
The honeymoon was in Hua Hin, Thailand.  Mark spoiled her rotten and took her to the most incredible 5* spa resorts.  The kind that you dream of going to.  They did very little but be alone, play tennis -bliss!
Alice spoke to her upon her return from the honeymoon and she was still 'over the moon'.  The photos in her wedding album speak volumes.
I know I speak for all my fellow clansmen/women, when I sent very best wishes to them both.
