On meeting Hayley\u00a0Wotherspoon for the first time, Kris\u00a0Barnett had one thought – she’s out of my league.<\/p>\n

Scotland was playing Ireland in the rugby at the time, and the way Hayley, 33, remembers it Kris, 37, was too busy shouting at the television to notice much else.<\/p>\n

But Kris had noticed and made the uncharacteristically bold move of asking Hayley out for a drink, despite thinking “she was quite clearly out of my league”.<\/p>\n

Several dates followed and the couple got to know each other and developed an unbreakable bond that they celebrated in their rustic traditional wedding on October 1, 2016.<\/p>\n

Both from\u00a0Peebles, Hayley and Kris stayed on the Scottish Borders for their celebrations at\u00a0Wedderburn Castle and Barns in Duns.<\/p>\n

The couple held a humanist ceremony<\/a> in front of 90 guests and wrote their own vows.<\/p>\n

“We wanted the ceremony to be meaningful but light-hearted,” Hayley says. Kris, a musician, \u00a0recorded a version of Paul Weller’s Time Passes<\/em> for his bride to walk down the aisle to.<\/p>\n

He also put his talent to good use at the reception, singing Dock of the Bay.\u00a0<\/em>“This was the very first song he ever sung to me (because it was the only song that he knew that didn’t mention love – how things change!)” Hayley says.<\/p>\n

The couple says the venue’s barn<\/a> provided the perfect space for the evening celebrations, which were enjoyed by 120 friends and family, who spent most of the night on the dancefloor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It was real. No fuss, nothing was done just because it \u2018should be\u2019,” Hayley says of the big day.<\/p>\n

“Hayley couldn\u2019t be more perfect for me. Whenever life gets tough, Hayley makes it better,” Kris says. While Hayley says: \u00a0\u201cI trust Kris 100 per cent and I think (hope) he feels the same. I can genuinely say I have never hidden anything from him in our whole relationship and never once have worried that my trust would be broken for any reason.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
