Beach wedding

Andrew and Sarah Pettett are pictured with the Rev Andy Muir, minister of Stranraer Parish Church, at their wedding on Sandhead beach on November 23.

Andrew and Sarah previously lived in Stranraer and operated a kennels in the area. Having many happy memories of the beach, where they used to exercise the dogs, they approached the minister asking to be married there.

Mr Muir said: “Everyone was soaked to the skin, but the joy, so apparent on their faces, could not be dampened by a bit of rain.

“It was lovely to be able make their dream come true and they certainly won’t forget their special day, but I do hope my next request to conduct a beach wedding is in St Lucia or the Bahamas!”
