Great Scott!

Fun fact: Dad, Jim, emigrated from Scotland to Canada as a teenager with dreams of becoming a movie star (he ended up remodeling houses instead, lucky for us). As a nod to their Scottish heritage, the men of the Scott family donned traditional kilts on Drew's big day. Drew and Linda originally planned to marry in Scotland, but decided against it, citing weather concerns.
