A half-Scottish Swede who married his wife in a dreamy Highland ceremony where his ancestor wed is hoping the Proclaimers will bless their coupling.
Record producer Christopher Caird Dominique and wife Tess travelled well over 500 Miles from Lund in Sweden to Dunnotar Parish Church near Stonehaven to be married - 220 years on from when Christopher's six-times-great grandfather was wed on the same spot. The couple had their first dance to a cover of the hit song Christopher recorded himself.
Christopher, the child of a Scottish father and a Swedish mother, arranged the entire wedding with the permission of a very trusting Tess, who was kept in the dark until arriving in Scotland for a week of Highland camping before the ceremony. The couple are hoping Craig and Charlie Reid might hear the cover - and send them their blessings.
Speaking to the Record, Christopher said: "I had wanted to make something musical for my wife but it was difficult because I couldn't express what I felt. I kept writing and re-writing and it didn't turn out the way I wanted.
"But then one day I was in the car with the children. They love singing along to 500 Miles, and I started listening more closely to the lyrics and I realised they are really beautiful.
"It's actually a wonderful love song. I think it's the best Scottish love song in the world.
"We've tried to reach out to the Proclaimers to ask for their blessing and I'm waiting to hear from them. There's even a Reid in our family - my great-grandfather's mother was a Reid, just outside of Edinburgh.
"I haven't looked into it to find out if I'm a distant relation - some things become more magical by not knowing if they're true."
The couple, both 43, were wed in the presence of close family from
