"You are part of my existence, part of myself. You have been in every line I have ever read."
Charles Dickens
Some love stories feel like they’ve been lifted straight from the pages of a timeless storybook, the kind you read by the fire on a cozy Christmas night, the kind that never loses its magic no matter how many times you return to it. Christi and Albert’s tale is one of those: a love that deepens with every chapter, growing richer and more beautiful with time.
After more than two decades together, Christi and Albert had built a life, a family, a home, and countless cherished memories. Their bond was woven with creativity, a shared passion for finding beauty in life’s smallest moments, and a secret ingredient: they still fell in love with each other every single day.
But what Christi didn’t expect was that, during their trip to Scotland, Albert had planned something extraordinary, a surprise to celebrate their love in the most meaningful way.
A Love Story Written in the Streets of Edinburgh
The morning unfolded softly in their hotel, tucked away on a quiet street in Stockbridge. The first bell of the day rang with the arrival of a Scottish stylist, ready to help Christi get dressed for what she believed was just a special photo session. Hanging beside her was the dress Albert had helped her choose a few days earlier during a shopping date, a detail that already felt incredibly special. But deep down, she sensed that more surprises were waiting.
Her intuition was right. One by one, pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place: a person organicing all the logistic and arraging with sweet care colourful flowers, a photographer capturing each fleeting emotion, and a quiet sense of anticipation filling the air.
Just as she was finishing getting ready, Albert arrived with something truly sentimental: a treasured heirloom, the earrings that had once belonged to her grandmother. Her "something borrow" to carry with her on this journey.
And then, in the heart of Circus Lane, one of Edinburgh’s most picturesque streets, he proposed again.
It was a moment frozen in time, an intimate renewal of promises once made, but now carrying even deeper meaning.
They exchanged vows once more at St. Bernard’s Well, honoring the Celtic traditions of love and commitment. What had begun as a quiet getaway had transformed into an unforgettable experience, one that would live forever in their hearts.
Following the gentle curves of the river, they wandered through the enchanting scenery of Dean Village, wrapped in the fairytale-like magic of their own love story.
The Special Tale
When Albert first reached out to us, we got amazed for the beautiful in his intention. From the start, we knew this needed to be more than a standard elopement package; it had to reflect their story, their connection, and the depth of their journey together and we crafted just for them, a "Special Tale" brought to life.
With care organization, personalized recommendations, and the support of our Assistant production in charge of all logistic involved, we ensured that everything flowed seamlessly. Anne, our assistant, played a key role in making sure everything ran smoothly, allowing them to be fully present and enjoy every second of their special day.
Always greatful to meet this incredible people and help them to keep forever the memories of their story.
