Nicola Sturgeon is walking down the aisle with the people of Scotland.
And yesterday she brought with her something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.
The arguments on independence are certainly old.
That the SNP are keen on Scotland breaking away from the rest of the UK is hardly original.
The caveats on Brexit and majority support merely add nuance to their historic argument – that Scotland would be better off if it were independent.
Something borrowed? Yes, there was plenty actually.
The Liberal Democrats were the first to advocate a “baby box” in Scotland.
Labour were the first to argue for education spending to go directly to head teachers – and that tax evaders should be banned from public contracts.
Not that it mattered greatly. The party faithful were so enamoured with their bride there was little interest in the policy.
The something blue, of course, came on tax.
While Ms Sturgeon is scrapping George Osborne’s higher rate income tax threshold rise, she has declined to restore the 50p top rate of tax – as blue-blooded a Tory move as there ever was.
So what was new?
A commitment to invest £500million above inflation in the NHS will certainly turn heads, as will Ms Sturgeon’s personal pledge to make Scotland a fairer society
With her and the SNP riding high in the polls, it is most likely the other parties will have to hold their peace.
This is not so much a manifesto as a blueprint for government.
Labour, of course, will be hoping their shotgun manifesto launch next week, just days before the election, can steal the limelight.
The burning question of yesterday’s launch, however, is how long Ms Sturgeon’s honeymoon with Scotland will last.
