Three generations of DIY

[kevinkinney]

Hello all,

Most of this Summer's DIY energy was spent preparing for today.

Beth and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary by renewing our vows.


DIY: Douglas box pleat kilt, matching waistcoat, regulation doublet, sporran, kilt pin, flashes, etc, etc. I refuse to knit hose. A guy's gotta draw the line somewhere. Beth required none of my skill at all. <woof>


Then we had this quiet little fellow Christened



He came out of it a little camera shy, and slightly wet.

DIY: Kilt, vest, plaid, coatee with sterling silver buttons, flashes, sporran, buckle brogues ala-Target/Tandy Leather. If this outfit doesn't score him a babysitter, nothing will.


Dad flew in from Atlanta sporting his new DIY Ancient Douglas Kilt and recycled Silver Fox sporran.



It's been 2 years since we posed together. The inset is for great aunt Karin. I wore my great uncle Bob's watch with pride. Thank you Karin.


The weather did not cooperate, so we held the ceremony in the entry to our <under construction> church. Though we were only dressed for 30 minutes, it was worth every stitch. Ah, such a wait for Burns Supper to come.

Cheers,

Beth, Alex, and Kevin.
