"A baffled bride has solved the mystery of the awkward-looking stranger who crashed her wedding four years ago. Michelle Wylie and her husband, John, registered the presence of their unidentifiable guest only as they looked through photographs of their wedding in the days after the happy occasion. Who was the tall man in a dark suit, distinguished by the look of quiet mortification on his face? But their family and friends could offer no explanation, nor could hotel staff at the Carlton hotel in Prestwick, where the event took place in November 2021."
"In his explanatory post on Facebook, Hillhouse admitted that he had been cutting it fine, as I'm known to do when he pulled up at the wedding venue with five minutes to spare. Spotting a piper and other guests, he followed them into the hotel I remember thinking to myself: Cool, this is obviously the right place' unaware that he had the address completely wrong and was supposed to be at a ceremony 2 miles away in Ayr."
"You can't exactly stand up and walk out of a wedding mid-ceremony, so I just had to commit to this act and spent the next 20 minutes awkwardly sitting there trying to be as inconspicuous as my 6ft 2 ass could be."
A couple discovered an unidentified, awkward-looking guest while reviewing wedding photographs from November 2021 at the Carlton hotel in Prestwick. Family, friends and hotel staff could not identify the tall man, and an initial Facebook appeal produced no leads. A Scottish content creator widened the search and Andrew Hillhouse came forward. Hillhouse admitted he arrived five minutes before the ceremony, followed a piper and other guests into the wrong venue two miles from his intended ceremony in Ayr, sat through the service for about 20 minutes and then later explained his mistake on Facebook.
