Today tennis ace Andy Murray<\/strong> wed his girlfriend of ten years, Kim Sears<\/strong>, at a 12th Century cathedral in his home town of Dunblane<\/strong>. Despite moving to Spain at the age of 15 to train in his sport, Murray has retained strong links to his Scottish roots, and in recent years bought and renovated a stunning country house hotel nearby \u2013 where tonight\u2019s intimate reception with family and friends will be held.<\/p>\n

\"Kim

The couple were originally intending to marry in the small chapel in the hotel grounds, but seemingly opted for the 300 capacity cathedral<\/strong> when the guest list kept multiplying in size (something anyone who\u2019s ever planned a wedding can sympathise with\u2026)<\/p>\n

\"Andy

The weather was erratic today in the beautiful Scottish town, with early hail storms soaking the crowds of happy fans who have been camped at the cathedral gates hoping to catch a glimpse of the happy couple on their big day. The whole community has excitedly got into the wedding spirit, with floral bunting traversing the highstreet and several shop windows displaying their best wishes to Andy and Kim.<\/p>\n

Andy and his groomsmen arrived at the cathedral shortly before 4pm, looking extremely smart in blue and green kilts<\/strong> with black suit jackets. Pipers played outside the 800 year old cathedral, which was adorned with white flowers early this morning, as Andy\u2019s mum Judy arrived, wearing a cream ensemble with pale grey hat.<\/p>\n

The highly anticipated arrival of Kim Sears gave crowds and press a glimpse of her long veil, and full skirted white Jenny Packham gown,<\/strong> with a low back and three-quarter-length sleeves embellished<\/strong> with tiny pearls<\/strong>. Her four bridesmaids were close behind, performing the solemn bridesmaids\u2019 duty of keeping the dress and veil off the wet ground, looking pretty in pink<\/strong>. Other guests include Andy\u2019s father, step-mother, and grandmother, as well as former tennis pro and good pal, Tim Henman.<\/p>\n

\"Andy

Andy and Kim met in 2005 through Kim\u2019s tennis coach father. Last night Andy posted a brilliant, and very 21st century, hint about what the day might entail, via a string of sweet emojis on his Twitter account!<\/p>\n

This is fitting for the popular sportsman, who last year sparked a flurry of anticipation by casually responding to a fan\u2019s question on the social networking site, saying he would marry Kim \u201cafter Wimbledon\u201d<\/strong>. The official announcement of their engagement came last November.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t wait to see more pictures of the lovely couple, both just 27, and hopefully some snaps from the reception at Andy\u2019s Cromlix country house hotel\u2026<\/p>\n
