On this page, I’m sharing selected short snapshots from German-speaking and bilingual couples who celebrated their ceremony in Scotland. Each summary offers a glimpse of how personal, emotional, and lovingly crafted a bespoke ceremony can be — from the very first idea right through to the wedding day.
