The Costume & Accessories

My costume was from Minor Mistress. We required unique outfits for our exclusive day but did not want to be in outfits that didn’t come to feel like ‘us’.

Denise MacBeath did my hair and make-up.

We fulfilled on a bus in Unst, the most northerly island in the British isles. Obtaining both been on a evening out to enjoy a band enjoying in the North Unst Public Hall, we caught every other’s eye a number of occasions in the course of the night. We ended up sitting next to just about every other on the bus on the way property. The point that we fulfilled on a bus always tickles me, as there are so several buses that in fact go close to Unst.
