their November 10, 2018 wedding day.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s despite knowing their baby would be just four months old when they wed. \u201cIt was a beautiful surprise, but we did wonder whether we should postpone [or just elope] to make things easier,\u201d explains Claire. \u201cMuch to everyone\u2019s surprise, we decided to stick to the date and make it work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They married at their classic autumnal wedding with 74 guests with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/articles\/how-to-fill-the-gap-between-your-ceremony-and-reception\/\">ceremony<\/a> the Castle of Mey in Caithness, Scotland, and reception at Mackay\u2019s Hotel in Wick. \u201cI always knew I wanted a wedding in autumn,\u201d smiles Claire. \u201cIt\u2019s my favourite season and I adore the colours, flavours and darker nights at this time of year, so that really shaped a lot of the choices of our big day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The weather turned it on for the couple and they were able to snap plenty of outdoor shots on the castle grounds. \u201cWe had a fairly small wedding, with just closest family and friends there, and decided to go with a humanist ceremony,\u201d describes Claire. \u201cOur humanist Angus, gave the most beautiful ceremony that he personalised to tell the story of our relationship, which really made the service that bit extra special to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy
