Lauren & Lee entschieden sich für ein intimes Elopement am Achmelvich Beach in den nordwestlichen Highlands Schottlands. Der weiße Sandstrand und die dramatische Küstenlandschaft boten die perfekte Kulisse für ihre persönliche, emotionale Trauung voller Naturmagie. Lauren hatte sich während ihrer NC500-Reise in diesen besonderen Ort verliebt und wollte genau hier mit Lee den Bund fürs Leben schließen.

Trotz der Unberechenbarkeit des Wetters in den Highlands war der Tag gesegnet: Am Nachmittag klarte der Himmel auf, und der Strand wurde zum magischen Schauplatz einer Zeremonie, die schlicht, herzlich und bedeutsam gestaltet war. Mit nur zwei Monaten Planung gestalteten wir eine persönliche Trauung, bei der jedes Wort und jede Geste harmonisch ineinandergreifen konnten.

Als Traurednerin war es mir eine Ehre, Lauren & Lee an diesem besonderen Ort zu begleiten, der ihnen so viel bedeutet. Der Moment des Ringtausches, die Gelübde und das erste Ehepaar-Küsschen wurden begleitet von tosenden Wellen, dunklem Himmel und kreischenden Möwen. Ein einmaliger Tag, eingefangen von Dougie, einem Fotografen mit großem Gespür für die Küste und das Paar.

"When my partner and I began our search to have our wedding ceremony elopement, we didn't know where to start or if it was even possible to get legally married on Achmelvich beach, a place that I fell in love with while traveling the north of Scotland. We began our search on google, Monika was the first celebrant that popped up, our search was over. We are so very humble that we chose Monika as our Celebrant to conduct our ceremony. From the very first email, Monika gave us all the information we needed and more, nothing was too much trouble, she provided us with our witnesses, she was effortlessly patient and guided us to figure out how we wanted our perfect moment to be. She made it clear to both of us, that the ceremony would be our way and her generosity and kindness were made clear from the very beginning. She freed up her full day to make sure she was ready to go, so my husband and I could get married on the hour that the tide was perfect and when the weather was calm. Our photographer that we had chosen canceled two evenings before our wedding, I messaged Monika & straight away she saved the day by putting us in touch with another photographer within the hour, and for that, I will be forever grateful. Our day was perfect, the witnesses she provided were so kind and made us feel so comfortable and really helped to make our ceremony perfect. Monika was perfect for us from start to finish and gave us our perfect day in our perfect chosen place. We now have a slice of Achmelvich magic in our hearts forever, for that I will always be thankful & blessed. Thank you, Monika, from the bottom of our hearts." lauren & lee
