3 pm | The Expedition Begins

The party assembles for the main discovery. Vows will be exchanged, rings will be produced from carefully guarded luggage, and the resident hounds — our four-legged fellows of the expedition — will almost certainly upstage everyone. They have been promoted to co-officiants in all but name.

3:30 pm | Field Conditions

Every good story opens with something small and promising. Canapés will circulate on the lawn, weather permitting — and in the main house when the weather does what Scottish weather does, which is whatever it likes. Consider this the prologue.

5 pm | The Feast in the Stables

Dinner is served in the ballroom — which, in a former life, was the stables. A hog roast awaits, in the grand tradition of expeditions that end well: everyone gathered, nobody lost, treasure on the table.

7 pm | You only get one

The first dance — and, in all likelihood, the last, as one of us will start a conversation and the other will locate a book. Witness it while you can. Photographs are encouraged; this may not be repeated in the wild.

1 am | The Journey Home

Every adventure closes its book eventually. Last dances at midnight, last drinks shortly after, and then out into the night with you — well fed, well loved, and part of the story now. Thank you for coming along.

Please, above all, be comfortable.

There's no set colour and no strict code — our theme is best described as dignified adventure with the dignity negotiable: books, expeditions, and a general mixing of all the things we love with all the people we love most.

Wear what makes you feel wonderful. Dresses, suits, tweed, tartan, something with pockets — all welcome. If you've ever wanted an excuse to dress like you're about to catalogue a rare manuscript or set off up a river in questionable weather, this is it. Equally, if you just want to wear the nice outfit — wear the nice outfit.

For the record: Mark has grudgingly accepted that he'll be in a kilt (he is, in fact, delighted). Marlene is still negotiating being barefoot at some point during the evening. Flip-flops have been formally forbidden. She will find a way.

We're trying to capture the whole story — from saying yes, through the slow build of planning a wedding, to the day itself. The people who'll be with us, the ones who've helped us get here, and the ones who'll be celebrating from somewhere else in the world.

We'd love you to be part of it, wherever you are. Send us your stories, your photographs, any videos you want to share. Anything you'd like in the record.
