"Hi Kevin
Thank you so much for making our Day sp special yesterday. You did an amazing job and everyone (including lots of other guests at the hotel) thought you were fantastic. So many people came up to us afterwards and said how much they thoroughly enjoyed hearing you play the bagpipes and loved watching the ceremony. Our guests thought you were brilliant and Graeme and me are so pleased you could play again for us. Thank you.
I hope you enjoy your special day as much as we enjoyed ours.
Regards abd Best Wishes from
Wendy and Graeme xx"
