IT was a strictly private affair, held in the upmarket hotel owned by the multi-millionaire groom.

But yesterday some details emerged of the wedding reception for Andy Murray and his new wife, Kim Sears, at his Cromlix House Hotel, near his home town of Dunblane where they tied the knot.

It also emerged that the newly-weds will not be going on honeymoon until later in the year.

Cromlix, which the world number three tennis star bought for £1.8 million at the start of 2013, lies a few miles outside his home town of Dunblane

His grandmother, Shirley Erskine, said yesterday that the wedding had been "fantastic".

Speaking with her husband Roy as they left for their home, she added that Kim and Andy had enjoyed a "wonderful" day.

However, neither she nor Roy was able to recall what the couple's first dance at Cromlix had been. Roy said: "It was something with music anyway. They actually did go out for the first dance."

The families spent the day holed up inside the luxury Victorian mansion enjoying time together.

Mrs Erskine said: "We've just all been up there together and everybody's parting in dribs and drabs so we're on the way home."

Members of Andy and Kim's families were spotted driving in and out of Cromlix House's main gates throughout the day. Andy's father, Will Murray, was seen driving into the grounds with his fiancee, Sam Watson, to whom he proposed on Christmas Eve.

Andy's mother was also seen leaving through the main gates shortly after 2:30pm, as were Kim's parents, Nigel and Leonore Sears.

Former Wimbledon star Tim Henman was a guest with his wife, Lucy, and their three children.

Rev Colin C Renwick, minister at Dunblane Cathedral, who officiated at the wedding, said: "I think it went very well indeed. It was a very happy occasion."

The weather on Saturday had been mixed, the minister acknowledging that "we had all four seasons in a day - but I think at the crucial moments it was not too bad."

The music at the wedding service had included two traditional hymns, and the Cathedral choir sang works by Hubert Parry and John Rutter. The Cathedral organ was also called into service. A "very good" string quartet had played beforehand, he added.

"It was a good selection of music," Mr Renwick added.
