Please join us for the wedding of
Kathleen Matthews & Nathan Blessing
October 23, 2027
Springkell, Scotland
A celebratory weekend together, Oct 22 – 24, from the first welcome drinks to the grand wedding breakfast itself.
Welcome
We're getting married in Scotland
Our first time visiting Scotland was hiking through Glencoe on the West Highland Way in 2023. In October 2027 we're bringing everyone we love back with us, to an eighteenth-century house in the Borders, Springkell Castle.
We would love to celebrate the start of our forever and what you all mean to us! We know this asks a lot of you: a passport, an ocean, and days off. This site is here to make the trip as easy as we can. Start with the three steps below, and come find us on Discord if you have questions.
While we would love nothing more than to celebrate with you, we completely understand if the timing or distance doesn't work out. Your love and support mean the world to us. If you can make the trip, we can’t wait to hug you in Scotland. Otherwise we completely understand, will toast to you, and celebrate with you the next time we meet.
Kathleen & Nathan
