Caris & Glen’s Banff Springs Wedding: Ducks, Jellycats & A Whole Lot of Love
Some weddings are just pure, unfiltered joy from start to finish—and Caris and Glen’s big day at Banff Springs Hotel was exactly that. Think beautiful beach views, uncontrollable laughter, tiny sneaky ducks, and a toilet roll speech. Intrigued? Let’s dive in!
Getting Ready – Fried Eggs & Mischief Afoot
The morning was as chilled as a December day in Scotland (which is very chilled). Caris was the most relaxed bride you could imagine, just taking in every moment. No stress, no rushing—just excitement for the day ahead.
Meanwhile, two very special guests took centre stage: the Jellycat bride and groom teddies, shaped like fried eggs. Yep, you read that right. These weren’t just décor; they were VIPs, making their way into the getting-ready photos in full matrimonial glory.
And then there were the ducks. Oh, the ducks. Tiny little rubber duckies, each with a very specific mission—be sneakily hidden in people’s clothes, bags, and, if the kids got their way, even shoes. It became the day’s unofficial sport: “Where will a duck turn up next?” A handbag? A coat pocket? Tucked inside a groomsman’s kilt sporran? The possibilities were endless.
The Ceremony – Family at the Heart
With the Banff Springs Hotel overlooking the beach, the setting was nothing short of breathtaking. A crisp December day, a stunning venue, and the warmth of loved ones—it was the perfect recipe for a heartwarming ceremony.
And speaking of warmth, Glen had his best man right by his side—his dad. The bond between them was so evident, and it set the tone for the whole day: a wedding where family and friends weren’t just present but at the very heart of everything.
Sunset Beach Photos – Laughter & Frozen Toes
What’s a wedding by the sea without a trip to the beach? As the sun started to set, we braved the cold for some truly magical photos. The only thing louder than the crashing waves? The laughter. Between the icy air, dramatic Kiss dip style posing (you know the one), and the continued discovery of hidden ducks, the fun never stopped.
Speeches – Toilet Rolls & Wigs
If you thought speeches had to be formal, think again. Glen set the bar high by writing his speech on a toilet roll. Practical? Yes. Hilarious? Absolutely.
And then came Caris’s dad, who decided that heartfelt words just weren’t enough—he needed props. Out came a wig, the room erupted, and it was game over for anyone trying to hold in their laughter.
Dancing the Night Away – Enter Calvin Haggis
When your wedding host is Calvin Haggis, you know the dancefloor is going to be wild. From ceilidh tunes to dance floor anthems, the energy never dipped. Family, friends, and even a few duck-related pranks kept the night alive. It was the perfect way to wrap up a day filled with love, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos.
Happily Ever After
Caris and Glen’s wedding wasn’t just a celebration—it was an adventure, a comedy special, and a love story all rolled into one. With fried egg teddies watching over them and a dancefloor that didn’t quit, it was the kind of day you never want to end.
Wishing these two all the happiness in the world—may their life together be just as full of laughter, love, and perfectly placed surprises. (And if anyone is still finding ducks in their pockets months later… well, mission accomplished.)
