We've Been Wed 5 minutes...

WE'VE ONLY BEEN WED 5 MINUTES AND ALREADY I'M IN THE DOGHOUSE
MOST men find they end up in the doghouse soon after they marry - but Gavin Guyan chose to go there to get hitched.

He and wife Lynn Campbell made history on Saturday when they became the first Scots couple to hold their civil wedding ceremony in a pub.

The couple exchanged vows in The Doghouse, Dundee.

Gavin, 35, and Lynn, 34, who both work for kids' charity Grey Lodge Settlement, said it was the perfect venue because they'd been to many gigs there.

Guests were asked to come to the wedding in fancy dress and chart-toppers The View were among the bands who turned up for the reception.

Gavin said: "It's been fantastic. We couldn't have asked for a better day."

Doghouse owner Sarah Hill said: "I don't know if we'll hold another wedding, but we wanted to do it because we are all good friends."

The Marriage (Scotland) Act, passed in 2002, freed couples to wed in a wide range of venues other than register offices.
