Bride said, “I do
— want to help”
“The plight of the children is extremely troubling and we felt it would be appropriate to use our happy day as a way of helping.”
As the guests arrived at St Margaret’s church, Broughty Ferry, last month, their generosity shone as brightly as the sun that beamed down on the occasion.
Research chemist Ian, originally from London, who popped the question last year while the couple were on holiday in Ireland, says the kindness of the guests nearly brought him to his knees again.
“Family and friends came from all over the country — we even had relatives from Canada who came over and joined in by making donations.

“The combination of seeing our nearest and dearest not only supporting us but also a cause which has touched everyone’s hearts was quite emotional — even those who couldn’t make it sent a cheque.”
The happy couple spent their honeymoon in the Highlands and are now living in Newcastle, where Nicola is a primary school teacher.
She says, “Whilst Ian and I showed our commitment to each other at the altar it filled us both full of pride to think that everyone there was also making a heartfelt gesture to the Sunday Post appeal.” |
