✨Donald & Alistair✨

Their love story began with a message, a meeting, and a kiss on a beach.♥️

For Donald and Alistair that first date at Culzean Castle was the start of something real, something lasting, and something they felt was just so right from the very beginning.

They clicked easily, handsome smiles, blue eyes, honesty, and a shared ability to laugh at life. From rainy Eurovision caravans and adventures across Europe, to meeting each others families, building a home and becoming dog dad's to their much loved Roy🐾 Their story has unfolded in all the best ways: honestly, joyfully, and always side by side.

They've built a life full of good food, great music, legendary steak pie, unbeatable pub-quiz teamwork, and a home filled with love, laughter and welcome.
No grand proposal was needed - they both just knew. And so, on a beautiful day in Donald's family garden, surrounded by those closest to their heart, they made their vows over an oathing stone, exchanged wedding rings, and sealed their promises by sharing a drink from their quaich - a true celebration of love, trust and togetherness.❤️

A story that began with a spark has grown into a life - steady, joyful, fun and true.
Here is to Donald and Alistair: a partnership full of heart, adventure and home. 🥰

✨Anna & Malcolm✨

These two came all the way from Shetland to marry at Achnagairn Castle ❤️

Sometimes love grows quietly in the background of a small, close-knit place, and then one day you realise your 'one' has been there along! That's how it was for Anna & Malcolm. 😍

Their paths had always crossed, but it wasn't until they were both guests at a wedding that something shifted. Weekends together became their rhythm, and before long, the real test arrived... Anna's dog Krissie! Thankfully, Krissie approved of Malcolm instantly...nothing at all to do with his throwing a tennis ball for hours on end! 🐾🥎 And Malcolm's cat Fanta? Well, he took to Anna,but took a little longer to get used to Krissie the dog, but eventually even he surrendered - or at least tolerated sharing the sofa!🐾🤣😸

Life unfolded gently and naturally. House renovations, horse duties, Xbox diplomacy, adventures near and far and days that felt easy just because they were spent side by side. It was never about lavish displays of love, just two people choosing each other in the little, everyday ways.🥰

So on Christmas Eve 2022, in true Anna & Malcolm style, the proposal was simple, sincere, and perfect for them - after the bonfire, once home, just the two of them there. There was no big speech, no elaborate build up, just a simple, heartfelt moment between two people who already knew exactly where their story was going. 💍🌟🥂

At Achnagairn Castle in front of their favourite people, they sealed it all with their vows, their wedding rings, and their brilliant Three Things - one they love, one they promise, and one thing they'd change about each other! There was plenty of laughter shared between them and the guests! 😂

Now they've begun the next chapter of their love story: continuing to create their home,walking their dog, and facing whatever comes their way, always hand in hand, and always as a team! 🥰

❤️If your heart loves a story like Anna & Malcolm's, follow along for more❤️

✨ Emma & Matthew ✨

Every great love story starts somewhere....and for these two, it began outside a nightclub in Aberdeen. 🎶 What started as with in invite for "one more drink" soon turned into first dates, shared laughs, and one slightly chaotic night involving Emma, to many cocktails, and a quick exit from Mathews flat! and the kind of spark that only grew stronger. 🥰

Together, they've travelled the world, from Zanzibar's beaches to Australia's sunshine, built a home, and started a business! 🌟

Life got even sweeter when their cocker spaniel, Mabel, joined the family, and she's been by their side for every adventure, including acting as a ring bearer on their wedding day. 🐾💍🐾

The proposal? A total surprise. After a gruelling charity walk from Aberdeen to Fort William, Mathew got down on one knee| on a rainy beach with Ben Nevis as the backdrop. Emma's first response was pure disbelief - "Are you taking the ****?
But of course, Matthew meant every word, and Emma replied with a massive YES!♥️

From a chance encounter on a night out to building a life full of travel, laughter, business ventures, and cosy nights in with Mabel, theirs is a story of two people who just knew from the moment they met that they should be together. 😍

All the best Emma & Matthew. 🥰

✨Nikki & Gavin✨

Their love story started quietly, with messages back and forth in the summer of 2020, when the world felt uncertain, but something certain was taking shape. ♥️

After weeks of chatting, they chose Aden Country Park for their first date, a relaxed walk, plenty of laughter, and that rare, instant ease that makes you feel like you've known someone forever. What followed wasn't rushed or dramatic; it was just two people building something real, one conversation, one decision at a time. 🌟

Life together son found its rhythm: movie nights, silly TikTok challenges, and the simple joy of being in each other's company. Over time, they transformed a house into a home, filling it with love laughter, and a very pampered Sprocker Spaniel 🐾 and built a life of shared adventures, from Zip-lining and Kayaking to caravan trips and plans to conquer Munros. ⛰️

Theirs is a life they adore, cooking together, heading out for dinner, exploring new places, or just playing cards in the caravan with music on and a drink in hand. 🥂 And thought it all, they've done it side by side.❤️

The proposal was beautifully true to them: just the two of them, and their four-legged companion, a long walk to the top of lava Falls, and one heartfelt question asked against a backdrop of breathtaking views. No big performance, just a promise of forever, sealed with a yes.💍

On their wedding day surrounded by those they love they celebrated that promise by exchangeing rings and sharing a special whisky from the quaich, a toast to the next chapter of their love story. 🥰

It was nice to be back at the Cairngorm Hotel

✨Emily & Ross✨

Their love story started with Facebook, mud, and a very bold tough Mudder post! 💪

These two had known of each other since their school days, but it wasn't until 2015, when Ross was working away in Angola and posted looking for race buddies for the Tough Mudder, that Emily replied, and their chatting never stopped!
In no time, they were inseparable: pasta dates, spontaneous trips to Applecross, and dancing their way through Belladrum. 🎶🎪

In time Emily moved in - it began with "just" a drawer... and quickly became half the wardrobe, their life together had truly begun.🥰
Since then, they've built a home they're so proud of, full of laughter, love, late night chats, and the beautiful, joyful chaos of raising their two wee boys.🏡♥️

As a team they the balance each other perfectly: Ross, the golf-loving gardener, ⛳🪏 and Emily, the social, outdoorsy adventurer. Together, they share a love of travel, good food, live music, and cosy movie nights once the house is quiet. ✈️ 🍕 🎶

The proposal? Pure romance. 🌟💍
A birthday trip to London, champagne well.....almost! Not knowing a marriage proposal was coming her way she refused to pay £125 a bottle for any Champagne 🍾 At the perfect moment high above the city in the Shard, Ross full of love asked Emily - "would you be mine forever?" Her answer: "I thought I already was!" 😂❤️ But then out came the engagement ring and with it the real question, Emily's answer? A delighted yes! 💍

Ten years later, they celebrated that first spark with the wedding they'd always dreamed of, joyful, relaxed, and surrounded by the people they love most. 🥰
And just as it was in the very beginning, their story remains full of laughter, adventure, and a love that feels as easy as breathing.💫

All the best to Ross & Emily 🥰

As always, great to work with the team at

✨Anna & Adam✨

These gorgeous human beings love story began with Anna laughing at Adams incredibly loud laugh, a very welcomed double date, and a "She's an actual rocket" first impression. 🚀🤣

These two had known of each other for years, mixing within the same friendship circles, but it wasn't until their friends sneakily set them up that the sparks really flew. Their first "date" involved pre-drinks, bizarre car chat, far too many cocktails,🍸 and a night that felt less like a beginning and more like something that had been waiting to happen all along. 💫

From that night on, they were inseparable. Fast forward a few years, and they've built a beautiful life together, a home full of love and laughter, their two gorgeous boys, and even a furry baby, Teddy the cat. ♥️🏡😸

There have been firepit family introductions in the freezing cold, fully clothed hot tub moments, spontaneous road trips to Liverpool, Oasis sing-alongs on YouTube, and over the years enough nappies to fill a stadium. 🎶👶⚽

And the proposal? Well that happened on a sunny holiday in Palma, Adam had hidden the engagement ring in the nappy bag meaning Adam was on nappy duty! He suspiciously decided to wear Chino shorts to the beach, which should have been a massive clue for Anna that something was about to happen!🧐 It was out on a walk Adam nervously dropped to one knee and popped the big question. 💍

Anna said yes, of course she did! Adam celebrated with a cider, 🍏 Anna with a Fanta lemon 🍋 because of course she was pregnant with baby number two! 👶🍼

Anna and Adam married at Lochardil House, surrounded by all their favourite people, celebrating a lovely story that's always been a little chaotic, a lot of fun, and absolutely meant to be. ♥️✨
All the very best, Adam and Anna. 🥰

✨Gemma & Stefan's Love Story✨

Their love story began back in 2017, Stefan's parents were in Barcelona...and like any self-respecting 19year old, he threw a house party.🎉 Meanwhile, Gemma had planned a cosy night in with a pizza - until her friend Georgia showed up and dragged her out. That decision changed everything, because that party was where Gemma & Stefan first met.

A few weeks later, Stefan asked Gemma out but she was on holiday in Spain and she needed a 'wee reminder' from the mutual friend Grant about who this mystery boy was! 🤣 Their first date at Bar 1 sealed the deal - from there, it just clicked! ❤️

Early impressions? Stefan looked the part - confident, chatty, checked shirt and all. Gemma won him over instantly...but he still had to pass the Rosie test-the family dog!🐾 He came armed with a Chinese takeaway, and Rosie was sold...a very smart move!

University life in Edinburgh brought late nights, lectures, and lots of takeaways. They made it through undergrad, through Gemma's post-grad in Aberdeen and eventually back home to Inverness -now not just as a couple but as homeowners. 🏡

They've ticked off half marathons together, shared marathon training...although Stefan is now "retired" 😂, cheered on Hearts & Scottish Rugby, and kept their Friday night pizza tradition alive. 🍕
Life together has been full of everyday joys and big milestones that matter most.🥰

Then came November 2022. Scotland were playing Argentina, but Stefan had more than rugby on his mind. 🏈 He'd found the perfect engagement ring in Edinburgh 💍 and it was in Edinburgh in their Airbnb that had been decorated by friends with flowers and balloons that he got down on one knee and asked Gemma if she'd marry him. 💐🎈Her answer of course was a delighted "yes." 🥂

And so, when it came to their wedding, the Kingsmils was the natural choice - a place already fu) of family memories, now home to one more milestone: the moment Gemma & Stefan said "I do!” ❤️

As always it was great to work alongside

✨Aimee & Ross's Love Story✨

This gorgeous couple's love story began as many rural romances do in the pub - the Mallard, to be precise. 🍺🍺

Ross will tell you Aimee| was simply on the hunt for a farmer boyfriend so she could get pigs! Aimee denies this entirely....nearly ten years on there are still no pigs 🐖😂

Their first date? A home cooked steak & sticky toffee pudding at Ross's cottage...complete with Coronation Street on in the background🤣 Aimee thought the food may have been questionable, but the company certainly showed promise! 😉

And their first impressions - Aimee thought Ross looked every inch the farmer in his checked shirt & Bass boots.
Ross thought Aimee| was shy and quiet...safe to say that has changed over the years.😆

Son after, Ross was introduced to Aimee's first love - Ottis the dog🐾🐾- who, thankfully approved!
From there, life as a family unfolded: their daughter Iveigh arrived in 2016, their son Ronny in 2020, and Flora the dog completed the crew. 🐕💖

Together they've built so much - from memories on rollercoasters, Ross does NOT do upside down. 🎢 to designing and moving into the home they created together during COVID. 🏡

And of course ...the proposal. 💍
Ross had the plan, the ring, and courage to ask during a trip to Lochinver for Aimee's birthday 🎂
Despite Storm Babet throwing floods, road closures and chaos their way, they made it. After a fancy dinner, back at the Pod, Ross dropped to one knee. Aimee didn't! need a moment to think, her wasa delighted, undeniable 'YE' Prosecco in the hot tub followed. ❤️

Fast forward, and the wedding was going to be at home on the farm. Aimee nailed the finishing touches perfectly; Ross took care of the essentials clearing out the grain shed!
With family and friends pitching in, the day came together perfectly. 💝

Rooted in home. Rooted in love. Rooted in laughter.🥰
Here is to Aimee & Ross and the exciting life ahead of them.❤️

♥️Dara & Scott♥️

Some love stories begin with candlelight...theirs began poolside, in matching lifeguard uniforms! 🏊‍♂️🥽💖

What started as flirty banter on shift breaks soon turned into weekly KFC dates 😂 and on 16th July 2016, Dara & Scott officially became a couple.

From there, it's been adventures galore:
🏡 Building a family home.
👦👦👦 Raising their three incredible boys - Luke, Lachlan & Ronnie.
🎶Music, scooters & tree swings. 🌳
🏰 Castles, holiday trips & muddy-kneed childhoods.

The marriage proposal? It was just a little chaotic! The engagement ring nearly got lost to a doorstep delivery 💍 but made it safely to their family holiday. On the last day, at Brough Castle in Cumbria, Scott took off his hat- a sure sign something important was about to happen😃 He got down on one knee, and asked Dara to marry him♥️ Her answer? A very fast and delighted 'YES!' 💍

Young Luke tried to capture it all on video - 📽️ but he mostly filmed his hand, the grass and an upside down castle.🤣

And then nine years to the day since becoming a couple, they said 'I do' in the garden of the Glen Mhor Hotel, surrounded by love family, and everything they've already built together. ❤️

Here is to Dara and Scott and the wonderful life that lies ahead of them. ✨💖✨

As always great to work alongside the team at Steven & Sarah of and Penny & Shireen of

✨Emma & Lewis✨

Some love stories start with big grand gestures ... Emma & Lewis's began with cosy nights, takeaways, and binging 'The Vampire Diaries.' Somewhere between episodes and shared snacks, they very soon realised they were becoming inseparable. 💖

Life together quickly grew into enjoying shared music - especially heavy metal gigs 🎶 weekends away, caravan park stays with the beloved pup Riku🐾🐾 and not forgetting their yearly tradition of visiting Aviemore for a break. 🏞️

On holiday to Lindos, Greece, Lewis surprised Emma with a proposal - waiting down on one knee, demonstrating not only his love but his incredible patience - until at last Emma entered the room and he asked her if she would marry him! And of course she replied with an excited yes.♥️

Over seven years, they have built a life filled with adventures, Disney films, Christmas Markets, theatre trips, board games, and even running a small business together.

2025 became extra special: they bought their first home together🏡 and found out they are expecting their first baby due next Month! 👶💗

And so, surrounded by trees and open sky, Emma and Lewis said "I do" in a wedding that was as unique and beautiful as their love story.💖

All the best Emma & Lewis!

Lovely to see Beth and great to be back at

✨ Jess & Craig ✨

Some love stories begin in the most unexpected way...Jess & Craig's began with an eyebrow treatment. 😂

Craig's mum was training as a beautician when Jess and her pal popped round for a brow treatment and that's where Jess and Craig's paths first crossed. No fireworks, just a quick hello.
Proper chats came later, on nights out in Inverness, and impressions were quickly made:
👉 Craig thought Jess was gorgeous and a great laugh.
👉 Jess found Craig funny, charming, and a bit of a lad's lad!

Life pulled them in different directions for a while, until fate (and Dua Lips 🎶) brought them back together in Newcastle - this time the timing was perfect. 💖

After long distance stints between Glasgow and Inverness, Craig moved up to Inverness, where they went on to welcome Layla, their gorgeous daughter into the world, and built a family full of love, Disney movies, and a not so mini miniature Dachshund called Henry. 🐾 (Craig's dog, officially! 🤣)

Fast forward to Tenerife 🌞... Craig secretly bought the engagement ring there, under the least believable cover story ever: "I'm just off to look at watches." - Craig doesn't even wear a watch ⌚😂

At Jess's favourite restaurant, with the staff in on the plan, Craig got down on one knee and asked her to marry him! Jess answered with a thrilled YES 💍 and the confetti canons went off. 🎊 And just like that their forever began. ♥️

They married at Loch Ness Country House, celebrating with those they love and looking forward to all the love, laughter and adventures still to come. 🥰
