Ryan & Yana chose Cromlix Hotel for their luxury elopement due to its beautiful location, luxurious décor and furniture. They didn’t want a traditional wedding but dreamed of a very intimate elopement day, just the two of them.
Ryan got ready early in the morning and went downstairs to reception, leaving the room for Yana. They wanted to see each other only at the altar in the chapel of the Cromlix Hotel.
This was the moment when I arrived. I entered the room where Yana was sitting in a chair by the window. The girls from Honey and Violet’s weddings did her makeup and hairstyle. On the bed was the veil that Yana’s mother had worn a few years ago. It was an important part of the wedding attire. There were gold high-heeled shoes on the floor. A delicate ivory lace wedding dress hung over the bed frame.
“Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can’t help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can’t help falling in love with you?”, blasted through the loudspeakers as Yana walked down the aisle. Elvis Presley’s deep voice filled the chapel. I could not keep myself up, I started humming very, very quiet.
After the ceremony, there was champagne, snacks and a walk around the luxury Cromlix Hotel and its area. And a little strawberry cake. Its scent filled the room.
