An enlightening and entertaining look at the customs and issues surrounding getting married in Scotland -- from the Reformation to the modern day. Chapters on the changing religious and legal bases of marriage contracts are off-set by fascinating anecdotage on individual splicing. Recall how Margaret Tudor met and married James IV, act silent witness at Gretna Green and Hugh Grant your way through the Big Day itself! Much to enjoy for both patron and critic of this most enduring of life events.
