The happy couple with flower girl Harriet and maid of honour Gillian who is Nicola's sister.
Nicola Sturgeon, Cabinet Minister for Health and Wellbeing, attended to her own health and wellbeing by marrying her partner of several years, Peter Murrell, Chief Executive of the Scottish National Party, on Glasgow Fair Friday, 16 July.
The couple held the ceremony in Oran Mor function suite on Great Western Road, Glasgow, surrounded by close family then had a reception for friends.
MSP for Govan, Nicola celebrates her 40th birthday on Monday 19 July and her flower girl, niece Harriet Nicola Owens, had her 4th birthday on the wedding day. ‘She also had a cake’ said an insider.
Dressed in an elegantly simple white satin dress, Nicola made time to pose for a battery of press photographers and some SNP supporters who brought Golden Sun rice to shower the couple with ‘golden’ ‘sunny’ thoughts.
Proud groom Peter was wearing a kilt in what he called ‘Highland Battle’ tartan. So while the couple are officially on holiday from Hollyrood, Peter, at least, is still prepared for battle.
