You Know Nothing Jon Snow – But I Will Marry You
You Know Nothing Jon Snow –
But I Will Marry You
Are you a Games of Thrones fan, if you answer yes then you’ll know the characters of Jon Snow of the Night’s Watch and the Wildling Ygritte? And strange as their love story was on screen, the Night’s Watch being sworn to a life’s chastity it became stranger when Ygritte AKA actor Rose Leslie organised their real life wedding at the family castle. Kit Harington, 31, and Rose Leslie, also 31 invited their co-stars, including Peter Dinklage and Emilia Clarke plus Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams who portray Sansa and Arya Stark to the nuptials shindig. It took place at Wardhill Castle, an estate that has been in Rose Leslie’s family for a mere 900 years. Rose’s father, Alexander Sebastian Leslie, is clan chief of the clan Leslie and the castle is a wedding venue already. I bet now that fans will be flying in from all over the world.
Nice to Have a Castle in the Family
Originally dating back to the 1100s, with later additions in the 1600s and then the 1800s, the grand property is set in 250 acres of stunning parklands. In September last the couple announced their engagement in The Times of London saying: “The engagement is announced between Kit, younger son of David and Deborah Harington of Worcestershire, and Rose, middle daughter of Sebastian and Candy Leslie of Aberdeenshire.” I’ve had a look at the castle on Facebook and although the road seems a little rutted according to one reviewer it looks grand and you can even go there and get fit in a Boot Camp! By jings!
Welcome to the Wedding Season
Now if you are in the middle of the wedding season and are stuck for a few ideas for the bride, the groom or the attendants at the nuptials then don’t forget to browse here at James Pirie there is great stuff for all tastes and all pockets. I don’t know about you, but choosing wedding gifts if they haven’t given you one of those horrible wedding lists, especially the ones registered at a department store, is a bit of a headache. Surely choosing a wedding gift is your chance to demonstrate your good taste and care in choosing rather than just ticking off an item on a proscribed list. It always gets to me and I have never bought what I was told to buy. For my budget I would end up with three parts of a coaster set or a leather tray for breakfast in bed. It feels too constraining. But we have gone a long way to keeping the delight in choosing a wedding gift at a huge variety of price points. Go on, have a browse!
