Our Wedding

The Story, So Far… A wedding in the town of Kirkhill, Scotland. The groom from Glasgow, the bride from Mississippi, and the happy couple met at a summer camp on the shores of Huntington Lake in California, approximately 5000 miles away. How did we get here? Well, the road has been long and winding, but wonderful to get here. Brittany first ventured to Gold Arrow Camp in 2010 following advice from her best friend Jordan that she needed to work at camp and that she would love it! As it would happen, Jordan was correct, and Brittany knew immediately that camp was like a second home for her.In 2014, Martin followed in the footsteps of Tam, who had persuaded Sean to go along, as well. While there was more persuasion required for Martin, “Who else is going to deliver Domino’s pizza to the good people of Clydebank, Dalmuir, Faifley, and some parts of Knightswood while I’m away?” The promise of a trip to Las Vegas quickly sold him.&nbsp;Perhaps love at first sight may exist for some. However, it was not the case here, as the first time they met, Martin had just finished a three-flight journey to Fresno, followed by a 40-minute wait for a pickup. He was perhaps a touch grumpy, was not looking his best, and in need of a shower.&nbsp; The two of them didn't interact too much in 2014. Brittany was dedicated to her job at camp, having fun, making friends, and growing, Martin was counting down the days until camp ended and fun could start on the lads trip to Vegas. Their memories of each other back then are limited, positive, and most importantly, without any red flags.Perhaps an indication of Martin not always being in touch with his feelings, in September 2014, shortly after returning to Scotland, he realised that camp had been incredible and desperately wanted to go back in 2015.In 2015, Martin returned for the full summer and, following the epiphany the previous autumn, had fun, made friends, and grew. Brittany was living in New York City and was only able to be at camp for a week at the end of summer. Again, the pair did not cross paths too much. 350 words later, we’re getting to the good bit! In 2016, they were both on the leadership team, which meant they were able to connect in a way they had never before. They developed a friendship over Tweek (training week) and Sessions 1 and 2, then in Session 3 some flirting took place. This is mainly because Martin struggles to take a hint, and didn't realize that the beautiful Brittany had been flirting with him for 5 weeks. It was clear from that point that there was a spark, so they went on a date to the local Mexican restaurant and took in a sunset over Shaver Lake. For the next few years, they had a long-distance relationship for half of the year, and the other half they spent together at camp. They cherished the little time they got together, and thank the Moeschbergers for opening their home to Martin to allow them extra time together during pre-camp and post-camp life!Brittany came to Glasgow, and Martin headed to Fresno as much as possible in between camp each year, which was not always easy. Brittany was studying and nannying for the Moeschbergers, as well as working for camp in the off-season. Martin was working at Marks and Spencer’s, having moved up in the world from his Domino’s days, ensuring that the West End elite had access to over-priced essentials with a fancy sticker on them. It was easier that one time when Martin mooched his way onto a Moeschberger family holiday to Mammoth Mountain one year. (More on Martin mooching holidays later.) Unfortunately, the global pandemic came along in 2020. The impact it had on the world is well documented, and as a couple dating long-distance, it was particularly tough. Camp was cancelled, and President T**** signed legislation preventing those coming from Europe to the United States. As much as FaceTime and texting could help them, it was impossible to have their relationship only virtually, and sadly, they broke up shortly before Christmas.&nbsp;&nbsp; In the summer of 2022, a letter arrived at Martin’s parents’ with the return address “Delta, Gold Arrow Camp”. After the temptation passed to steam open the letter, Martin’s parents delivered the letter to him. Slowly, but surely, communication opened up again, and feelings that had been suppressed for 18 months rose to the surface.The opportunity to meet up again was provided at Slim and Peanut Butter’s wedding in May 2023. It was obvious that the spark was still there, and so officially the romance rekindled - and they haven't looked back since! In the late summer and autumn of 2023, Brittany spent three months working remotely in Glasgow. Not only did they both survive, but they thrived together, laughing a lot and sharing three of the happiest months of their lives.&nbsp; In November 2024, Martin again mooched his way onto another Moeschberger family holiday to the Bahamas. Before heading to the Bahamas, he enlisted Chelsea’s help to FaceTime Buster very secretly, and while on with Buster, Kelly, Chelsea, and Trey asked for their blessing to propose. Thankfully, they all said yes!&nbsp; The final challenge, convince Brittany to get up early to go for a walk along the beach. After much pleading, Brittany agreed to a 6:30am stroll. As they walked down to the white, sandy beach with the ocean gently lapping in the background as the sun rose on another day in paradise, Martin tried to set the mood. Brittany, blissfully unaware of the momentous moment, flippantly responded, “Ha, I’m wearing a hat so I know I won’t be getting proposed to today.” Boy did Martin have a surprise for her!&nbsp; The rest, as they say, is history. They’re so very excited to spend the rest of their lives together, starting on the 31st of December in Achnagairn, with all of their friends and family to help them celebrate. They can’t wait to see you all very soon for ”The Story Continues!” Tl;dr Met first in 2014Didn't interact much until 2016 while working at campRelationship blossomedSpent the next few years doing long-distance half the year and the other half at campTougher times during the pandemic, but we’ll not focus on thatRekindled romance at Slim and PB’s wedding&nbsp;EngagedMarriedHappily ever after incoming
