Melissa Russell and Shannon McKenna recently got hitched at Chatelherault Country House, and threw a small dinner at Mickey D’s in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, afterwards, South West News Service (SWNS) reports. COVID-19 restrictions complicated the long time couple's hopes of marrying in a tent in their garden, and alternative reservations for a hotel for the nuptials were canceled by the venue shortly after the arrangements were made.
