Jessie
and Ronnie on the evening of their wedding day on 22 August 1964
and just before they left on their honeymoon evening night out to see Lex
McLean
(sexy lexy) at the Metropole Theatre.
They were married in
St Clements church
which was at the corner of Brook Street and London Road, the Minister
being the
Reverend William Ingles Miller.
Their best man and bridesmaid
for the occasion were
Joe McCully and Georgie Wood
with whom they still keep contact.
The wedding was arranged to be held in the vestry but the Rev Miller would
not hear of it.
Ronnie said "the minister insisted that the ceremony be held in
the main church and as the ceremony proceeded, us young ones had a fit of
the giggles which was more to do with the solemnity of the occasion
rather than disrespect, and I'm sure the
Rev Miller understood."

Weeks prior to the actual wedding the reverend instructed
them of the need to visit the Registrar office to collect the proper
documents, and in a letter he wrote "make sure you take some form
of ID as you both look to young to be getting married."
Jessie and Ronnie first met
at a Christmas party in 1960 and in August 2003 they will be
married for thirty nine years. Throughout this time they have
always loved each other as well as being the best of friends.........
I
believe that the modern term is 'soulmates'.

Webmaster:- In the space of a few months Ronnie has
become a good friend of mine.
He writes to me constantly, sending me songs, poems, stories, photos and sometimes
utter rubbish!.
There have been times when I have needed a wee 'lift' and a email
arrives frae Ronnie or I read some of his tales in the
message
board and I have a laugh.
He has been inspirational and I thank him very much.
It gives me great pleasure to say Ronnie
& Jessie have become "GlescaPals" Jan. 2003

Extract
from messageboard, Jan.2003, Anne
Calman, Canada
"Ronnie
just had a wee look at you and your wife on your wedding day, lovely
looking couple but my god are you a smasher now, a regular James Bond,
some people age very well and you are one of them, thats not to say you
weren't good looking when you were young! ha ha"
