Ex-radio host ties the knot on 'magical' day in Capital

FORMER city radio host Zin Craig and her partner joined the many couples across the country who took advantage of yesterday's lucky 10/10/10 date by getting hitched.

Zin, who used to live in Edinburgh and worked for the BBC and Scot FM, married doctor David Matthews at Edinburgh Castle at 1pm in the company of 40 guests.

She said she wanted to get married on the landmark date because she felt that it was "magical".

She said: "My lucky number is three, and because ten times three is 30 I thought it was a good sign. I think 10/10/10 is a magical date."

She and her new husband organised the traditional Scottish wedding a year and a half ago. After the ceremony they enjoyed a reception at Oloroso, on Castle Street.

Yesterday proved to be one of the busiest days on the Scottish wedding calendar as hundreds of couples opted to tie the knot because they felt it would bring them luck.

Some register offices opened on a Sunday for the first time in their history.
