Intimate Vow Renewal in the Scottish Highlands

11 juillet 2019Glencoe, Royaume-Uni

Amelia and Christian, originally from Tennessee, USA, after they tied the knot they decided to move to Edinburgh, Scotland. Christian could finish his master’s degree and Amelia works as a photographer (you can find her work here). They got married 2 years ago in Austria and recently decided to elope for their intimate vow renewal to the Scottish Highlands. Both are very inspiring, artistic souls with many talents. Earlier in their relationship, when Amelia and Christian were living thousands of miles apart, Christian composed a melody, Amelia wrote some words, and as a result, they created a very special song. Believe us, it’s very romantic. It was lovely to spend 2 days together having fun and a lot of inspiration from them.
DAY ONE
We met in an atmospheric apartment with an old Scottish decor in Glasgow where our first day started calmly. After coffee, a bit of singing, and a lot of laughing, Amelia and Christian took some time to themselves to write letters and express their love and all they had learned over the past two years (and more playing around with pillows after all). We ended the day by all sitting together around the dinner table with a pint of beer talking about our plans, experiences, and dreams.
DAY TWO
We woke up very early and very excited! After a quick breakfast, Amelia and Christian serenely prepared for their intimate ceremony in the Scottish Highlands. While Amelia finished her new vows, Christian played a few tunes on his ukulele. Having read Wendell Berry’s poem “The Wild Rose” to one another at their ceremony, it was meaningful when they used the same words to promise their love to each other once again. Old words with new meanings. In the late morning, we headed for the depths of a quiet forest in the Scottish Highlands. To elope to the secret place for the intimate vow renewal.
