Fasque Castle outdoor wedding || Lois : Scott || Barley Roguing
Why do you want to capture your wedding on video?We want a wedding video so we know our day is perfectly preserved and can be viewed and relived at any time we wish. Ourwedding is a large gathering of friends and family and we don’t want to miss out on the funny moments, touching moments,and the interactions between all our family and friends. We want to capture moments that we might overlook or think were notimportant on the day but really are. We also want to see it from the outside perspective. It’s like standing on the Eiffel tower…we are on the thing that we want to look at…ourselves. Also, Lois has not the greatest memories due to epilepsy so a video isessential.
How did you meet?We met at the Big Beach Ball Festival in Aberdeen May 2014. Where Scott noticed Lois and her friends. Scott tried to impressLois, he was in a band playing in the festival but Lois failed to watch his band… she’s not easily impressed. Playing it very coolmust have worked because Scott asked Lois on a date the following weekend… Don’t think we ever went on a second date…
Tell us about the proposal:I knew Lois wouldn’t like a public spectacle proposal and she had previously mentioned that she’d just like it to be at home. Ialso knew that including Ace in some way would seal the deal; if anyone could convince her it was a good idea, it’s him. Aftera number of failed attempts (including interruptions from friends, men fishing and even the police) I eventually had Lois in thehouse with no distractions, unfortunately, she was very hungover and had spent most of the morning laying on the sofa beingcared for. I went upstairs to prepare. I’d bought a small soft toy which resembled a diamond ring for Ace. I got the actual ringready and gave him the toy, he ran downstairs and we played the chasing game we normally play. I then said to Lois what’sthat in Ace’s mouth… she looked confused, I said it’s a ring and then went down on one knee. Lois said she wanted to besurprised and this was a surprise… after saying oh my god, what are you doing? about 20 times she eventually said yes.The venue(s) or location, why this place above anywhere else?Our very close friends got married at Fasque and we were blown away by the building, the rooms and the attention to detaileverywhere. We spent the entire wedding of our friends inside the house and that is why it is so important for us to have ourwedding outside so we can enjoy and appreciate the beauty of the house and its grounds. I don’t think any place would comeclose but to be honest we are very decisive and didn’t look anywhere else. The house has so much character and splendourwhich is perfect for hosting a wedding. It was also important that we could be married in Scotland close to our homes andhave the majority of our friends and family stay on.What do you love most about your partner?Scott, He bought me a dog which then required a house…and the rest is history…. Jokes. He would do anything for anyoneincluding me. Always goes out of his way to help his family and friends. Especially if it involves a trip in his van (he loves his van).His family and friends rely on him a lot (I am usually riding solo at weddings because he is usually setting up PA’s or makingsure something is right) that shows he has very good traits. He can also cook and likes to cook which is a blessing to comehome after work to good food. Lois Lois is very caring, thoughtful and considerate (the way she is with Ace and all our nieces& nephews makes me know that she’ll be an amazing mum) She if fun and fun-loving, always willing to try new things and isup for a laugh and she excites me and keeps me on my toes, I never want to let her down, although I do stumble sometimes.
