Let's get married

As a Glasgow graduate you belong to one of the few groups entitled to hold your wedding on our beautiful campus. Whether you want to get married in the magnificent Memorial Chapel or one of the majestic ceremonial rooms, marry in a religious or civil ceremony, throw a sumptuous service or arrange a more intimate affair, the University is the perfect venue.

Shiona McCallum (LLB 2008) married Michael James Borthwick (BAcc 2011) in June 2017 in the Chapel.

The ceremony was a combination of formal and relaxed really – that’s why I love the Chapel. You get the big aisle to walk down, and the stunning venue to get married in, but then you have the freedom and flexibility of being able to bring your own style and colours into it. Perfect! We both studied at UofG and just loved the idea of getting married in a place that was special to us as individuals and together. I don’t think we considered getting married anywhere else. It felt like being a little part of the University’s history and magic for the day. Walking into the Chapel with my dad and down the aisle to 'Planet Earth II' theme was so emotional. It felt like the beginning of a dream. Wish I could do it again! (photo: the Gibsons)
