Rigel & Mike’s Wedding
Plan for the Day (Sunday 29th August 2004)
Dear Wedding Guest
As you know, because you returned an invitation, Rigel and Mike will be getting married on Sunday 29th August. The information should give you all the details you need for the day so that you can be in the right place at the right time.
Basically we get married at around 2.30-3pm and then have a sit down reception at 6pm. Although there will be champagne after the ceremony, there will not be any food until 6pm so make sure you snack up before getting on the coaches.
Transport
You should aim to get to Pittodrie House by 14:00 at the latest. The whole party will be leaving from here for Castle Fraser. The other 3 coach pickups/ dropoff’s are at the times and locations below.
Please don’t be late as the coaches will not wait!

Food
There will be around 80 guests at the reception and there is a choice of meals. You will need to stick to your choice of vegetarian or carnivore as you responded in your invitation reply, but there is still a choice for both.
The hotel needs advance notice of the menu choices or apparently the meal would go on all night! They are sending someone to take orders at Castle Fraser, so when you are asked what you want to eat, don’t be too surprised.
To give everyone time to consider their choice the options are over the page there will also be dessert, coffee etc but bear in mind there will be a Ceildh (with instruction) to come……
