Ian MacGregor stood in front of the sanctuary watching as the pews filled with his friends, neighbors and fellow miners. He stood proud in the red and black tartan of Rob Roy MacGregor himself. The royal lion crest cast in silver upon his breast, pinning the tartan sash to his blood red vest. The wording on the crest let anyone who could read Gaelic know that he was a descendant of the Royal Rebel himself. Triogal Ma Dh'ream/Een dhn bait spair nocht, it stated “I am of royal descent/slay and spare not.” A reminder to the clans that all MacGregors had stood for what was right even against the king’s own order of death to the clan. Yet here they stood while that evil king lay dead beneath the soil of Scotland.

He wore full regalia, his sealskin sporran sitting in the center of his body, clan crest impressed in it, red and black hose made of the same fabric as his kilt, and his Ghillie brogues laced up his ankles and tied. Tall and proud he stood, the tartan sash and clan crest pin for Carol lay on the altar. Thankfully Pastor James, being Indian, understood the importance of the traditions of a man’s heritage and had agreed to letting the covering of the tartan to be incorporated into the wedding ceremony.

Ian’s boss and longtime friend, Jeremiah, stood up with him. Jeremiah’s wife, Maude, waited at the doorway watching for the girls from Howard’s House to make their appearance. She would sit with the orphaned girls helping to keep the younger ones in line. Ian kept his eyes glued to the doorway anxious for a glimpse of the woman who had gone through so much already in her life, and then traveled so far to become his wife.

When Miss Ethel appeared carrying Collin, Ian couldn’t help but smile. Carol would walk through that door in just a few moments and make her way to him. The girls from the orphanage followed Miss Ethel, filing into the pews in the back where they always sat. Katie and Ben Hunter came through last, each carrying a baby and when all were settled, Maude nodded at Pastor James and he asked everyone to stand and receive the bride. Ian’s breath caught in his throat at the sight of Carol soon-to-be MacGregor as she stepped into the church. She was a vision in cream and pink. She took her first look at the full church and Ian watched the color drain from her beautiful face. Her first step wasn’t even finished before he was moving.

“Where are you going, man?” Jeremiah whispered at him. However Ian didn’t say a word, just stalked down the aisle, never slowing until he stood in front of Carol. She looked up at him and he could see the question and confusion in her eyes. He smiled. “You have walked through life alone long enough, Mo Ghaol. From here on you walk by my side. Mo Ghràidh, Mo Chridhe, Mo Bhean.
