Well-Groomed

In a discovery too late to help my sister, I have a copy of The Scottish Wedding Book by G W Lockhart. The book is filled with some practical advice on the ceremony [church or castle?] as well as historical and factual anecdotes about Scotland. [The legal age of marriage is 16, and Mary Queen of Scots married on a Sunday.] As should be no shocker, the book is heavily scattered with Roberts Burns poetry. Other handy inclusions for those who can learn set dances from a single page of instructions are five options for dancing including "Strip the Willow". Finally, if one is at a loss for wedding quotes, the book has a little something to offer, including this gem:

"Marriage is a wonderful invention - but then again, so is a bicycle repair kit." - Billy Connelly
