Mark insisted that the text was a joke!  Who would he find willing to model their celtic and medieval wedding dresses at 9am on a Sunday morning when Crawford had been reaching temperatures down to -18C for several days?  We replied that Mark was up for anything if David could find a model who was crazy enough …… enter the very brave Karen …..

The morning was so cold that Mark was wearing several pairs of trousers over each other just to avoid frostbite.  Apparently Karen was well wrapped up under the dresses but still, the wind chill would have cut you in two.  However, I think you will agree, the results were worth the sub zero experience and Karen has recovered without any ill effects!
