Going to the chapel….” A story of how love can triumph against the odds. .. by Shehanne Moore.
When my girls here…
were wee I made friends —
(That’s a wedding photo booth joke pic by the way ) with a great couple who had two boys..ok and who ARE pictured above! We would joke we should just arrange their marriages to each other, save a lot of bother, our kids getting their hearts busted for starters. We liked each other as families and the boys were great boys, handsome, good nice guys to this day. Down the years we often reminded ourselves of that joke when we saw our children get hurt, make mistakes, choose partners we could see were wrong for them, have their hearts broken to bits.
I also had another friend, a lady I taught. She spoke a lot about a woman she knew and her son, Daniel.
Daniel was quite a looker apparently. Suddenly, at the grand old age of 17 he was working part time beside my daughter 18, in the local co-op. (Quite a place for romance, all of you ‘looking for just that out there.’ My other daughter also met her partner there too).
Daniel was quite a looker, young vibrant–as I noticed one night she asked me if I could run him home to Tayport. Despite the fact it was miles away and me and Coreen were just going up the road. I thought…no problemo…. Are you kidding?
I watched them talking in the car mirror that night. And I just knew my daughter’s name was going to be Coreen Pow one day and it had nothing to do with how Daniel looked and everything to do with the way they looked and how they acted together. They just seemed right. NUTZ I thought. In fact, certify me now.
That Christmas holiday Daniel was leaving for Stirling Uni and I guess Cor made her move on the night out. He did too. He also said he would phone her to arrange to go out. It was an early instance of let down. Daniel was a player she said and full of himself.
That did not tally with the person who my other friend had talked about over and over.
Years passed.. A lot of years. Down them I watched my girl make every mistake going in some ways, watched her trying to make things work with men I knew it would never work with, watched her getting hurt by men I’m going to be exceedingly polite about, listened to her crying down the phone having been walked out on by some boy who wasn’t worth the time of day she thought she was making a life with and who ‘thought’ he’d come back the day we’d to help her move out of the house he’d just had to have, watched her having her life put on hold. I also watched her and Daniel never quite letting go of the other in terms of keeping in touch. Every time there was a break up, I’d say I still see you with him and I am never wrong. She’d go titz.
Whenever she was free, he was with someone. Whenever he was free, she was with someone. Eventually after something like 12 years, they were both on online dating. She told me she had clocked him there. I told her what I still saw. You could hear the going titz and the ‘would I drop it’ halfway to the North Pole. BUT they were advising each other online……
About dates…. One night, having had yet another lousy date they were advising each other when Daniel said ‘ I don’t suppose if I asked you out you’d come?’
Coreen said, ‘Are you finally asking me?’
This was just so they could advise each other some more as friends. Within months they were engaged. They’re my beacon of hope about love because they work brilliantly together. All that time apart has brought them close together.
And I had a great day on Saturday. From the business of the wedding being moved outside at 8 am and then 93 chairs being moved back inside …many of them already occupied…at 12 30 when it started to rain. Moved by groom and guests and hotel staff too cos there was like 30 mins to go. Of the sun coming out again so we could all enjoy the drink’s reception in the beautiful grounds with a saxophonist playing the best of songs…….
To mah wee grandbaby walking hand in hand with the flowers girls through half the hotel corridors with the rings, then saying NUT to taking rings and girls down the aisle. (He did eventually) To my younger girl’s dress bursting down the back just BEFORE the meal so I had to assure her I would do my Indiana Jones bit and think of something. She sneered at kirby grips….
It was one of the best days I always knew in my heart of hearts would happen.
Ps –my friend’s two sons have found the happiness they deserve too.
I’ll leave you with some more piccies……and the hope we all find our right place.

So beautiful in every way! Blessings to the newlyweds!
Beverly!! My special lady, you can well bet I will tell them. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Richard Curtis could not have put it better…l’ll write the screen play if you wish!
MIKE!!! Please be my guest. With you there my amazingly talented friend it cannot fail. Passed on your good wishes earlier. They are thrilled about the amount of kind wishes they have had. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I’ve always liked a love story with a happy ending, so good fortune be on the pair of them.
Thanks Mike. I have let them know. They are away on their honeymoon today. xx
Beautiful family, beautiful pics of a beautiful wedding, gorgeous dress, great backstory. Thanks for sharing it all. May they have many years of wedded bliss (and beautiful grand-babies?) together.

LOL>. I hope so in that they love children and are so good with them. My other lass and her lovely guy have one!!!!! But hey, these things are always lap of the gods. I never ever thought I’d have the gorgeous wee fellah to cuddle I’ve got and then… it happened. SO long as Coreen and Daniel keep going as they are now, that’s all I wish for them both. Thank you Madelyn xxx
I loved the expression on his face as he walked down the aisle in his wee kilt. Never underestimate the power of chocolate.
Lots of crazy-good looks in your family, btw. Those genes need to be passed along – our crazy world can use a lot more beauty to gaze upon. 🙂

Oh Shey – What wonderful pictures!
My goodness your daughter is your clone! She is a beauty just like her mother. Such fantastic dresses! I love your green dress btw. It looks like a great time was had by all despite the rain. And the ‘wee ones’ so precious!
I wish them both the best wishes in the world.
Their lovely story reminds me of my meeting my husband (at my first ‘proper’ job). I was being shown around the big office by this girl and she was trying to make me laugh as I was so nervous. She was telling me who was going out with whom, who to avoid like the plague (and why) and who the ‘nice’ boys were.
She said ‘There is only one nice lad not courting in this office’ and pointed to this shy looking lad with big brown eyes. so laughing I said back ‘Oh well, suppose I’ll have to marry him then!’ Two years later we were married :0)
So glad you all had a lovely time
Kate xxx
What a great story, Kate. Haven’t had an office romance since I jumped into coaching and training, working from home. Should have thought about that first — and maybe waited until I married the love of my life before taking the leap?
xx, mgh
Hahaha you never know. Our office was called the Marriage Bureau as so many people were married to other people there :0)
Well it seems like you won the Marriage Bureau lottery. With so much in common throughout the office, it must have been a great place to work.
I guess they didn’t have those nasty rules like “one of you must transfer” – or the ones that will get rid of both of you if you become involved outside the office.
xx,
mgh
We could work in the same office, but not on the same ‘group’ so it was fine :0)
And they lived happily ever after . . .
Hahahaha well it’s worked for 34 years, hopefully it will carry on for a while longer :0)
Amazing – and congrats. Not in my playbook, I guess. Here’s to many more.
xx, mgh
Aww thanks Madelyn xxx
I was decking myself at his face. Best bit was folks were going nicely..’Look at that wee boy. He does not want to do this.’ Meantime his dad and I were waving Pooh bear..his best buddy… to get him up the sodding aisle and he was NOT even looking. Then he kind of rallied re the girls cos he is AYE a total ladies guy despite only being just over two. And he aye gets a girl too.
Oh my goodness Kate I REALLY should do something about how we met our partners. See you knew as well …..WHAT a story. Okay I met mine in a play I was asked to step into with 3 days notice and do the part. A Midsummer’s Night dream. I was Helena, he was Demetrius. But that night as I was trying and trying to learn the fecking pages of words at a hat drop, the voice was going, YOU will marry him. and so I did just over a year later. This was despite going, ‘Will you feck off and let me get these words up’ I guess it was romantic. And your comment is so kind. I xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I will pass on the wishes and thank you for saying all you have.
So lovely to see love endure. Beautiful pictures and such a romantic story. I wish them both health and happiness xxxx
Jane I will message them later to tell them. They really appreciate the good wishes from what they call all my ‘author pals’ and everyone else. Hell, I am quite touched by this story myself. Beforehand on Saturday when she opened the present he gave her that was to be opened when she got up, part of it was a letter and it was WOW…. Not in a sloppy way, just a nice way. And he said…’Please don’t keep me waiting,’ AND then the sodding rain came on and the chairs needed moved and I reckon we were ten minutes late despite being in the same hotel but she said…he will know….xxxx.
Oh what a sweet story! I loved reading how you knew right from the start that they would be perfect together 🙂 You look lovely in the green dress and her wedding gown is stunning too! The kilts, oh the kilts! Thanks for sharing with us about the special day ♥ The children are adorable too xx
Oh Christy xxxx, Thank you. See when that wee voice whispers to me? I want to kill it. It is so off the wall. But there you go. Her gown was amazing and a snip, Tell you that story sometime too. As for the kilts, you do but see a fraction of this pic cos my back was against the wall taking it. BUT the official photographer was inside and upstairs and the ground sloped back. There’s rows of guys! I WILL be buying that pic and you better ready yourself!!!!! AS for the children ? There were quite a few at the wedding and they were lovely, I just had to show off mah grandbaby. When it came to kilts he was blooming awkward!
A post to treasure dear Shey and the sun shone on your wonderful family’s happiest moment. Brilliant ! xox ❤
Ralpha , my friend , thank you, It was one of the nicest days and not just cos of all that. It was just nice , folks mixed, they laughed, they were happy. It really was a day to treasure xxx
Hi, what a wonderful story with lovely people & beautiful pictures. I wish them every happiness in their future together. 👰🏼🎩🍾👍 xx
Lynne xxxxxxxxxxxxxx to you. I will let them know you wished them every happiness. It is quite a story x
So much love in your words and images. A perfect day, indeed. 🙂 xxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Jean. It was perfect. Not just for the reasons I’ve written of BUT they sure helped it along!
Such beautiful words, Shey. So much love and so much happiness in them and in the stunning pictures. I have looked at each one again and again, and each time I melt at the beauty of them. You tell a gorgeous story of how they met and of the day – thanks for sharing it with us. You and your beautiful girls look fabulous – and as for those kilts ….. oh wow! Mr Shey does you proud. Wee Riley is a darling and clearly is one for the galz. Lovely! I wish the happy couple a lifetime of happiness and laughter. xxxx
I have told them of your kind good wishes. I wanted to tell that story cos I felt it was quite something. The kilts??? Wait till we get the official picture cos there were rows of guys behind her standing down the slope and guys still in the line I couldn’t get in the photo cos I couldn’t get any further back.. But the official one was taken from upstairs in the hotel, so I know it will be something else. You are so very kind. Truly. Wee Riley is something else for ladies. I tell you, it is hysterical. The other wee dudes look on as if to say what’s he got? His mum has him at a thing called Racket Buddies, run by one of her badminton mates. Anyway the first week Mr took him and Riley was jumping about demonstrating to me how ‘Geega’ and him had jumped about with balloons and rackets. The next week his mum took him and when I asked what he was doing that time, he did the jumping but he also did blowing kisses. I asked his mum who said he had spent the hour kissing and playing chasies with this wee girl. . So much for learning the badminton. Anyway apparently the other slightly older girls who had been dissing him up to this point were suddenly all over him. PS I put some more kilts up!!! I added a few more pix at the end of the post
That is HILARIOUS! You’re going to have to keep a strict eye on that handsome laddie.
Aye. His mum says he is NOT getting a girlfriend till he’s 25 cos she knows what girls are like. x
Reblogged this on Tales From a Silver River.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Saw that.
Awww ❤ all my congrats to her and her hubby!… All gorgeous.. I love how the green dress fits you as well! ….Love and best to you and yours, dear She! Aquileana 😀
Thank you my angel. You are very kind. I was just NOT for having the usual outfit. I will pass on your lovely good wishes. xxx
Lovely.
Blessings to the Newly Weds.
Thank you. So kind. I have been passing on all the blessings to them xxxxx
Brava!
I enjoyed the scottish feeling….it seems me a bit italian.
Grazie amica mia.
Hugs by Rinaldo.
Aw hugs my friend Sunshine, laughter good food, good wine, good company. good children. I guess it was a bit Italian x
Ok, grazie mille amica mia. Buona serata. Ciao.
xxxxxxx Rinaldo
Thanks for sharing your beautiful family and their story. You and your daughter look beautiful – almost like clones! Love the green dress too. And your little grandson in the kilt = priceless. Congrats again lovely! 🙂 xo
Debs my darling HUGS and KISSES to you for you kindness. I wasn’t able to be the traditional bride mammy, it is not me. We had a lovely lovely day I couldn’t help sharing it. Riley was so funny in his kilt, he just did NOT want to wear it. Also although we had talked and talked the ring biz cos there was no rehearsal, he got a bit alarmed seeing all the people. He was fine walking with the girls all the way through the hotel but he sort of bottled it when he saw the crowd. it was so funny all the folks were nicely smiling and going, ‘Oh look at that little boy, he does not want to do this.’ and he was digging his heels in at every step. His dad and I had his beloved Pooh ‘Bay’ up at the other end and we were waving it but he was net even looking. Have agreat weekend xxxxxxx
Wow so beautiful, thank you so much dear for sharing this nice and pretty wedding and story
kisses
Aw thank you Voolah. Just catching up having been away for a break after all of this. It was a great day. I just HAD to show it of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
oh very welcome dear
kisses
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Special Voulaah
Absolutely gorgoues wedding, everything was just right, even the dud s behaved themselves (except for the part about what you bribed Mr. Shey with!), but even that was fun 😉
You have a lovely family.
Best wishes to the Newlyweds. ❤️
I am sure I bribed Mr with a glass of wine…. Thank you so much Genie. it was a great weekend and we are just back from another one — a sort of break, after all this. I say sort of cos it got a bit hair raising at times however…. I will pass your kind good wishes on to the Newlyweds. They did everyone proud xxx
You look so elegant in the green dress, and your family is just so beautiful.
It’s delightful reading all the lovely comments here too, so much goodwill for the Newlyweds.
The kilts were a dashing touch to the event, very Scottish and traditional, which I just love!
I’m so happy that everything went welll, it’s such a huge ordeal to organize and when everything turns out perfect like it did it’s a wonderful time and many memories to treasure.
Thank you for sharing your lovely family with us, it’s an honour for you to trust us with the most cherished parts of your life.
Did you cry when they got married? If I was the mom I know I would have. Weddings always make me cry, I know it’s a cliche but I’m one of those who live the cliche.
Genie, you are so kind in ever way my friend. I felt I could trust the people here. It has been one of the nicest things about being a writer—the folks I have met and I love those who come on and comment and chat away on here.. I feel honoured to have met so many great people, supportive, good, amazingly talented people. I felt I could tell them this story and it would be all right to share my family which I don’t often do unless it is something special. Also, so many people just want to find that special place in life and the going can be hard, I wanted to give a little hope along the way. When it comes cliche dinnae you worry, I am up there with you! I got a tiny bit teary I confess, just because I was so happy for her AND thankful she has a good, kind, loyal, capable, loving guy FINALLY!! . They both did the bulk of the organizing which was great and he didn’t leave her with it either–even better. I was busy the last few weeks just. But I was really impressed by the classy show they put on and how much they thought of their guests. There was even an old fashioned sweet cart at the night bit. The whole wedding was very Scottish. She was piped down the aisle, the piper also played for the guests arriving. I could only hear that bit but it sounded great. They had a Scottish handfasting for the ceremony. Even the tables were named after their favorite Scottish walks. When I get the proper wedding photographer’s pic of the kilts I am gonna post it. it will be fabulous, There were rows of guys –lots more than I managed to get into the picture. I couldn’t go traditional as her mum. it is just not me. So thank you for your lovely comment about the dress. I really loved it . What is more I can wear it again. have a great day my special lady x
You happy mama, they do seem right! 🙂 Mother knows best. All the photographs are absolutely delightful, and I want to kiss all your darling grandchildren, they did such a great job, chocolate or not. Your green dress is stunning, and I have a weakness for kilts. Everything looks like a fairy tale, especially the story! And I have read all your comments to not to miss anything. You are such a beautiful family, inside and out. Your daughter looks so much like you, a beauty! So delighted for you all! Wishing the Newlyweds a lifetime of happiness! xxxxxxxx
Inese, I am indeed a happy mama. You are so kind. I have been passing on the messages to her. They’re away just now and having a great time. I can’t wait to see the proper official kilt piccie. Of course I will share it! It was a wonderful, wonderful day, one to treasure, start to finish. Everyone seemed to have a great time. Thank you so much for all your kindnesses xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I only can imagine the day. I didn’t get a visa to go to my daughter’s wedding. It was in 2002, and there were complications.
Oh Inese, your heart must have been broken. I spoke to you about my friend. That’s her in the blog. Anyway she was not allowed to fly to her son’s wedding in NZ because she was ill. It was awful for her. She gets so cut up talking about it. Your daughter must have been heartbroken too. We all need out mums there on these days and as mums we need to be there xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Very beautiful Shey, wonderful photos. Many warm blessings to you all and thanks for sharing !
Jessie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thank you my darling. I will pass on your good wishes.
Ps that green dress is incredible !!
My darling that green dress came from a corset shop in Shanghai and was astonishingly cheap and beautifully made. The back had fab detail. I love it and will wear it again too xxxxxxxxxxxxx
At first I was at a loss as to who was the bride, then I remembered, the bride wears a dress not a skir… ah-em, kilt. Plus she was the most beautiful… dead give-a-way really… Honest, I didn’t need clues from the dudes. 😀
Now that woman in the green dress… she’s an eye-catcher. Is she taken?😀
Seriously though, the pics are wonderful; love the kilts. Congrats to your daughter and the lucky groom. Long life and prosperity!
Lol Kev you flatterer you. The dudes will still get you your questions once they quit chasing their tails you know. Oh they don’t have tails… Seriously I will pass on your kind good wishes. I cannae wait to see the official kilt pic. It was taken up higher and there were rows of kilts I just could not get into the picture. It was a great day. I hope your own day is good today xxx
Lol… something to look forward to.
This is a beautiful romance and you wrote it so wonderfully, Shey. The romance writer that you are sparkled through.
I loved this post. I loved learning more about you and your lovely family. I loved having a peek at a Scottish wedding. And I thoroughly enjoyed looking at the photos. Beautiful bride (such a warm smile) and gorgeous sister and mother-of-the bride. You are truly blessed.
Carol you are a darling lady, truly you are and your lovely comment touches me so deeply. I am a very very lucky lady to be so blessed with the family I have. They are everything to me. I’m also so lucky in that I so hoped for someone like Daniel for her. Like that you see what’s out there you see your lovely children making mistakes and it is so hard, when you know they are good and loyal — that’s not just the oh my child is perfect and can do not wrong bit, I know they’re not. and that they can. But you just want certain things for them and you often have to bite your tongue off. I am fair tickled that folks are liking seeing a Scottish wedding and you loved seeing that. . The pair of them are very proudly Scottish and they planned a real Scottish day. She was piped down the aisle, The piper was playing for the guests coming in The hotel has a an old baronial bit to it so it was lovely. They had a Scottish handfasting for the exchange of vows, even their tables were all named after their favourite Scottish walks and the favour gifts for each guest were Scottish. As you know I usually keep my family under wraps but I couldn’t on this occasion. It was just a lovely day and truly I did always see her with him. I wanted to tell that story. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for you lovely words.
Have a very nice day dear
Kisses
And you Voulaah xxxxx
Really great pics, must have been an amazing day!
Jason, it was one of the best days. We may not always have them…. But see when we do? Thank you so much for visiting and liking the pics. I was just showing off a Scottish wedding xx
rocking that greeen dress dear great pictures
Alas I was no good at being the trady mother of the bride. And when I said I have a dress from a corset shop in Shanghai, it was so funny how the break every boundary daughter said, ‘You can’t. Get something else.’ And the only breaking certain ones bride said, Mum, be you x
Wow, what a romantic story! Sometimes you know it’s love at first sight, but sometimes it takes many years to realize it. You’re looking great, Shey, and so is the bride!
It is kind of romantic which is why I wanted to tell it. And I think it is better to get together now. They’ve done their growing up and they’re forging on together. It may have taken all that time but it was like the time was finally right. Thank you for your kind comment doll. I was so proud off my girl that day, how she looked , everything. xxxxx
Oh my Shey! What a beautiful wedding, a beautiful daughter, a beautiful memory you shared with us. Thank you! I feel like I was there and it was so good to see glimpses of your family. How lovely and happy everyone appears. I know it’s about the bride but that grandson my, my, my, he kept drawing my eye. So squeezable and kissable. Aren’t you the blessed one?!
Oh I count my blessings every day. I am so-oh lucky that my darling wee grandbaby who yeah, I can’t stop kissing, and his mum and dad live five mins away on foot. Coreen and Daniel live about 15 away by car. We look after our wee darling two days a week and he is such a character he well keeps us entertained. Last week Cor and Daniel came back from their honeymoon and came to see us and the wee soul tidied everything away. The empty cake tray, the crumbs, the dirty plates, the cake cases, the dirty cups. So proud to help. Cor kept asking where he was going with it all. I very proudly said, ‘Oh he will be putting all that rubbish in the bin for me and the dishes on the sink.’ I went to make the tea that night and opened the food cupboard and he had stacked the lot up in there, even the crumbs. Anyway I don’t often share my family but they are everything to me and it was such a special special day. Everyone was so happy, just a wonderful atmosphere. Thank you Ann for your lovely comment. They’ve all touched my heart x
beautiful 🙂
Thank you 90’s kid who shares beautiful recipes and writes heart warming blog posts of their life xxx
thankyou so much shehanne. 🙂 this is so motivating .I LL keep posting more :)🌸🌸🌸
n christian wedding has always fascinated me since it is not very common in majority parts of India. I have always been accustomed to big fat indian weddings with lots of colors and customs.to be honest the wedding lasts for about a week .so many rituals to perform
Thank YOU. I treasure each and every one who comes by here. I especially love reading blogs from other parts of our planet. You had that wonderful recipe the other day I have bookmarked cos I am going to make it. But I also love that you share bits and pieces of your life too. It’s a great mix. I, for one, am looking forward to all your posts. Love the sound of big fat Indian weddings. I’ve heard how they last for a week. We thought a day was long!!! I’m really thrilled you liked this post and it was interesting fro you to see a wedding over here where the kilts rule!! Lots of love to you, glad to connect with you x
Those men look good in their kilts, and although I have one, I’m too afraid to wear it – short legs
Roger..my MR has refused point blank all his days to wear one cos he believes he has skinny legs. But both our girls have also point blank said they wanted/want him to give them away in a kilt– end of. So he better do it. You have no idea of the trials and tribulations and how eventually I talked him into a Jacobite one. (That is without the fancy jacket and just a plain shirt) or indeed how he WAS changing into a suit after the meal cos of the mess he looked. He is on her right in the first pic and I don’t know what he’s on about re legs. I reckon it was just the confidence. The fact is folks go so wild for a guy in a kilt they are not thinking, ‘Oh I got skinny/short legs’. They just think Yeah, good on yah, so go for it, x
Wow…thanks for sharing
I wanted to share some kilts. Thank YOU for coming by and reading. And for your two very kind comments. I hope you have had a lovely weekend xxxxxx
You r looking so pretty
Hey
It was a great going
You are invited to my blog
I will be more than happy to follow you. xx
Awww, love and weddings are so touching and make me cry in happy feelings. Your blog is always fun but I liked the serious and meaningful message of marriage and love, too. ❤ Smiles Robin xo
Robin how lovely to see this comment. I noticed, although I follow your blog I have not had many notifications of your posts. WordPress has been iffy of late, seriously. Your blog is not the only one I’ve not had notifications of so I have now bookmarked it. I thought I better be serious with this post and not let the dudes run riot. There were quite a lot of tears at this wedding but nice, nice ones. There were many moving moments. It was a great day, one to treasure. I don’t generally share personal things but I wanted to tell this story. I felt it was about where you are meant to be in life. 12 years WAS a long time. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Have a lovely weekend Robin.
I don’t know how I missed this beauty. I got lost in among the gowns and kilts, keeping an eye out for hamsters. All the best wishes to your girl and these beautiful souls. True Romance all the way! Congratz Shey!
Aw, Dune Mouse, it was a fabulous day start to finish. And yeah, true romance all the way. Thank you. I couldn’t help but show it off a bit xxxxxx
a wonderful event for showing!!
Aw…. xxxx It was. It was such a beautiful day and they really went all out to spoil their guests. xxx
So very beautiful snapshot. Enjoyed the show. Thanks for sharing.
AW, how very kind. It was such a great day I couldn’t help showing it off ! x
