Kim and Andy Murray on top of the world

Kim and Andy tie the knot in Dunblane.

“It was all right!”

That was Andy Murray’s view of his sensational Dunblane wedding yesterday as he tied the knot with Kim Sears in the city’s ancient cathedral.

The couple, both 27, said their vows in front of friends and family during a ceremony at Dunblane Cathedral led by the Rev Colin Renwick.

On a day of sun, showers and hailstones, the rain held off as the couple exited the 300-seat cathedral to cheers from the large crowd gathered outside to wish them well.

The British tennis No.1 sported a blue-and-green kilt for the occasion while Sussex-born Kim wore an embroidered white gown with three-quarter-length sleeves and a long veil, rumoured to be by Jenny Packham, and a pair of strappy silver heels, thought to be by Jimmy Choo.

Among the guests were Murray’s brother Jamie, one of three best men along with friends Ross Hutchins and Carlos Mier, and divorced parents Judy and William.

Judy, who is riding on the crest of a popularity wave after her appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, arrived just before 4pm looking glorious in a white overcoat with a detailed gold dress.

Her outfit was complemented with a stunning gold hat by milliner William Chambers.

Also in attendance were Kim’s dad Nigel, a top women’s tennis coach, and mum Leonore, who works for Cambridge University Press.

Other guests included Andy’s grandparents Shirley and Roy Erskine and former British tennis No.1 Tim Henman and his wife Lucy.

The bride arrived in a white Rolls-Royce at the rear entrance of the cathedral out of sight of the media and well-wishers a short while after Judy.

She was accompanied by four bridesmaids in long pink gowns.

Florists had been working all morning to decorate the cathedral, wheeling in huge bouquets of white hydrangeas and full-sized cherry blossom trees. The ceremony was followed by a reception at Andy’s luxury Cromlix House Hotel, and a meal prepared by renowned French chef Albert Roux.

Cheering guests lined the path from the cathedral doors and bells rang as the couple left the church following the 45-minute ceremony.

Covered in confetti, they then got in a grey car decked with ribbons to go to the reception.

The Perthshire town pulled out all the stops for what has been described as “Scotland’s royal wedding”.

Colourful bunting lined the high street, shops were adorned with flowers and flags, and locals turned out in their thousands to wish the couple well.

Hundreds of the world’s media also captured the event which has sparked interest around the globe.

Commenting on the changeable weather, his mother Judy tweeted: “Hailstones. Marvellous,” and then a few hours later: “Snowing. White wedding.”

After the wedding Judy handed out confetti to well-wishers.

One of those lucky enough to get some was seven-year-old Sarah Thomson.

She said: “I can’t believe she chose to give me some I’m over the moon. Kim was absolutely beautiful and Andy was definitely Prince Charming!”

Asked how the day had gone, Judy said: “It’s been lovely.”

Among the first people to offer their best wishes was Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.

She said: “I send my warm congratulations to Andy and Kim on their big day and wish them all the very best for a long and happy life together.

“Andy is a local hero there but he is also a Scottish sporting superstar, and the whole nation will be delighted for him and his new wife.”

Andy and Kim met in 2005 through tennis her father Nigel is former head of women’s tennis at the Lawn Tennis Association.
