A taxi driver came to the rescue of a Glasgow couple who almost missed their own wedding due to TRNSMT.

Liam McDermott and his new bride Kirsty got married on Saturday, the same day thousands of music fans headed to Glasgow Green for the second day of the festival.

The pair tied the knot at The Hidden Gardens in the city's Pollokshields, and they had booked 10 non-wedding taxis to take them and their guests to the reception at Cubatas in Charing Cross. 

But the heavy traffic caused by TRNSMT meant that availability was low and Liam and Kirsty became stranded in the Southside. 

The bride and groom issued an SOS call and they were rescued by Glasgow Taxis driver Jim Smith. 

Glasgow Times:

Kirsty said: “We got married on Saturday and had booked a taxi convoy but because of TRNSMT they were struggling to arrive.

"A call was put out that there was a wedding party needing to get from The Hidden Gardens to Cubatas.

“Jim, just finishing up at another wedding, turned towards the Southside to help."

Almost as if it was written in the stars, Jim happened to be in a cab that is used for the company's popular wedding services. 

Kirsty added: "By a fortuitous turn of events myself and my husband waited until the very end for our own taxi and let all the guests go ahead.

"Jim turns up in a wedding cab and we were both beside ourselves! He even got the ribbons and the flowers out!”

Jim, who supports Glasgow Taxis with their wedding service, said: “It was an absolute pleasure to help make Kirsty and Liam’s day that little more special on Saturday.

"As soon as I arrived and saw it was the bride and groom who were the last pick-up, I offered to put my wedding ribbons back on the car and they loved it.

“They were an absolutely delightful couple, it was clearly meant to be.

"Myself and everyone else at Glasgow Taxis wish Kirsty and Liam a very long and happy future together.”
