Over the past few months, we’ve travelled all over Scotland, and we can’t wait to share those stories with you soon! Right now, we’re redesigning our blog and highlighting work that isn’t on the new site yet. So, let’s dive into the romantic Glencoe engagement of Hilary and Iain.
Hilary and Iain’s story began in the most unexpected place: their workplace. Hilary, originally from America, relocated to Scotland for an exciting career opportunity. Although the rolling hills and ancient castles were a far cry from her familiar landscapes, she embraced the change with enthusiasm.
After a team-building excursion, Iain—a native Scot with a quiet confidence—approached Hilary. With a casual smile, he suggested grabbing coffee sometime. Hilary, following her American social script, replied, “Of course!” In the States, phrases like that are often more about politeness than actual intent. As an American, I totally understand this cultural nuance; it feels impolite to decline such offers outright.
Now, imagine Hilary’s surprise when, just a few days later, Iain followed up to schedule that coffee date. She thought, “The nerve of this guy!” She mixed amusement with disbelief. Back home, these polite agreements rarely turned into real plans. Yet here was Iain, determined to turn a casual suggestion into a genuine encounter. Intrigued and a bit flustered, Hilary agreed, setting the stage for a memorable chapter in both their lives.
Fast forward to now, and Hilary and Iain stand on the brink of a new adventure. Engaged to be married in 2025, their journey—from a serendipitous coffee date to a lifetime commitment—unfolds like a beautiful, unexpected love story.
