Honest. H/t Crieff Photography. by Hilary MitchellBuzzFeed StaffFacebookPinterestTwitterMailLink 1 Firstly it rains all the time in Scotland as you know Couple: Mary and Rob. Photographer: Lindsay Mackenzie Parker / Via mackphotography.co.uk Which means you certainly can't plan an outdoor wedding. 2 Yes the skies in Scotland are never ever blue Couple: Hilary and Mads / Photographer: Brian O'Neill / crieffphotography.co.uk This is clearly photoshopped. 3 So this lochside ceremony is definitely imaginary View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @jordanaevents If it looks like a fairytale, that's because it is. 4 And if rain did appear it would ruin your photos Neil Douglas Photography / Via neilthomasdouglas.com See? There's definitely nothing incredible, moody, or romantic about this coastal wedding on the Isle of Skye. 5 The indoor venues aren t worth considering Dylan and Joanna Kitchener/ Kitchener Photography / Via thekitcheners.co.uk Like The Byre At Inchyra, which definitely isn't adorable or quaint. 6 Castles are a big no-no too Couple: Helen and Doug. Photographer: Jen Owens Images / Via jenowensimages.com Sure they might look majestic, but what about all the ghosts? Not worth the risk. 7 The countryside is dull and driech View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @davefallonphotography The mirror-still waters of Loch Long in Arrochar are a case in point. 8 And cities don t offer a pretty backdrop either View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @francisfilmic Can you imagine getting married in Glasgow? Haha! Oh wait, hang on... 9 OK maybe getting married in Glasgow is alright View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @rahimsproductions But only when the light is like this, and at no other times. 10 You won t find any quirky venues dotted around Couple: Clare and Lawrence. Photographer: Caro Weiss Photography / Via caroweiss.com Well, apart from Roulotte Retreat in the Borders. And some others. But that's it. 11 Plus even if you found somewhere you liked it s not like you can just get married anywhere View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @pjphillipsphoto Oh, actually you can. Scottish law allows couples to marry anywhere as long as the ceremony is conducted by a religious official, registrar, or a non-religious Humanist Society Scotland celebrant. 12 If you got married in Scotland your guests might want to wear kilts View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @tsedaniel And we all know how unappealing they are. 13 Or play bagpipes Can you imagine Couple: Sophie and Martin. Photographer: Brian O’Neill / Via crieffphotography.co.uk You don't want to feel stirred or patriotic on your big day, surely. 14 And what would the bride even wear Flickr: lukasz-dunikowski / Creative Commons Not this tartan wedding dress, with a silk underskirt, ruffles, and laces. No siree. 15 There certainly aren t any deeply romantic ancient traditions in Scotland View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @karenjphoto Like handfasting, performed by a Seanachaidh. 16 Cutting your cake with a Scottish sword Nah View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @clairepilpel Sure, it'll make you feel like you're a member of some kind of ancient royal family, but why would you want to look like a king or queen on your wedding day? 17 Remote bothies aren t really that romantic Couple: Christian and Juliane. Photographer: Eilidh Robertson Photography / Via eilidhrobertson.co.uk Hmm. OK maybe this one is, but it's probably the exception to the rule. 18 And Scottish flowers make terrible decorations Facebook: CrieffPhotography Bleurgh. 19 Who would want to get married on a boat in the middle of Loch Lomond No one that s who Couple: Julie and John. Photographer: Caro Weiss Photography / Via caroweiss.com Well, this extremely happy couple, I suppose. But just them. 20 Admit it you want to spend your big day in a huge country mansion in the Cotswolds surely Couple: Rosie and Colin. Photographer: Mirrorbox Photography / Via mirrorboxphotography.com And definitely not at Lunga House in Craobh Haven, Argyll. 21 In short you don t want to get married in Scotland Couple: Phil & Annalie / Photographer: Brian O’Neill / Via crieffphotography.co.uk Please ignore this radiant photo. Move along. Nothing to see here. 22 Nope it s just not a deeply romantic place at all View this photo on Instagram instagram.com *CRIES* Thanks to Lindsay Mackenzie, The Kitcheners, Neil Douglas, Caroline Weiss, Eilidh Robertson, Brian O’Neill, Jen Owens, and Mirrorbox Photography.
