As we have high expectations that the young man will survive the experience and go on to marry the lass, and as we are looking at the bright side, he will surely be glad the bullet was not aimed at his genitals 

Good to know he can still have a ball after the wedding...

Anyone knowing Milngavie and Bearsden will know he's not short of a penny. They're some of the most expensive properties in Scotland.

This story just sounds like one of those crimes of opportunity. A robbery of a foreigner by armed criminals on a motorcycle late at night. A similar thing happened in front of a very nice hotel close to MOA that I have stayed at but at 8AM in the morning Could happen to anyone in a major metro in the Philippines. The groom was out with his best man and fiance on the night before his wedding. No fault or blame should be assigned there. If there was any fault it would be if he did not comply and immediately hand over his wallet.

I normally carry what is called a throw away wallet. One with old expired credit cards, ids and pictures with maybe a few thousand pesos. Enough to satisfy your average robber without getting my real cards or significant cash.
