Glasgow: Andy Murray donned a traditional kilt as the Scots world tennis number three married longtime girlfriend Kim Sears yesterday  in a 12th century cathedral.
The wedding in Murray’s home village was followed by a small reception at the player’s Cromlix House hotel. Murray had three best men onside, including his elder brother Jamie and ex-tennis player Ross Hutchins and another tennis friend, Carlos Mier.
The event drew massive interest in Scotland and was covered throughout the afternoon by crosses on British television. A smiling Murray arrived at Dunblane cathedral around 4 pm to wait for is bride-to-be, whose fashionably late arrival was greeted by a passing shower, with hail also a part of the weather panorama on the day.
Her team of bridesmaids held up the trail of her long dress to get the 27-year-old daughter of a tennis coach safely inside the church.
Murray’s mother Judy tweeted: “Hailstones. Marvellous” and then later “Snowing. #whitewedding”.
Murray was host at the post-wedding reception at his 15-room boutique hotel, which he bought in 2013 for around 3.5 million dollars.
Murray will skip the Monte Carlo Masters event starting on Sunday, instead travelling to Barcelona to work with new coach Jonas Bjorkman in preparations for the start of the clay ATP season.
Shops in the village went wild with wedding promotions, with bunting hung everywhere and the local butcher running low a a specially conceived “Andy” line of sausages.
