Nicola Sturgeon congratulates Mhairi Black as SNP MP marries fiancé in Glasgow

Nicola Sturgeon has congratulated Mhairi Black after the SNP MP got married in Glasgow at the weekend.

The member for Paisley and Renfrewshire South tied the knot with partner Katie McGarvey at a ceremony at Pollokshields Burgh Hall on Saturday.

Black, 27, wore a grey kilt and waistcoat for the bash at the historic venue - which has become a popular destination for weddings in recent years.

Several messages of congratulations were shared on social media including one from the First Minister, who said: "More lovely wedding news" followed by two heart emojis.

Black became the youngest MP in the UK when she was first elected in 2015 when still an undergraduate at the University of Glasgow.

Black was reelected at both the 2017 and 2019 general elections.

Social and Cocktail provided the drinks for the wedding reception.

They posted their congratulations on Twitter after the ceremony.

They wrote: "We had a great time serving the drinks yesterday at @pbhalls for the wedding of popular Member of Parliament Mhairi Black and her lovely partner Katie."

Another fan posted: "Many many congratulations to Mhairi Black and partner who got married yesterday.

"Wishing the both of you all the happiness in the world".

Someone else said: "Many congratulations, happy times".

A fourth posted: "Congratulations All the best for your future together".

Black was not the only senior Nationalist to get hitched over the weekend.

Transport minister Jenny Gilruth tied the knot with Kezia Dugdale - the former Scottish Labour leader - yesterday.
