14. ELOPING TO SKYE - WHERE DO WE START?
I always say start with the date! Before we do anything else, let's make sure I can do the date you're hoping for. Even if it's still a bit up in the air because you're waiting on other providers, e.g. photographers and pipers, to know when they're available; even if it's one of two dates or within a specific week when you first contact me...

There are a few rules... you can't get married on the move... on a boat for example; and you have to get married where you said on your paperwork, unless the weather's truly terrible and you need to change it (always good to let the registrar know of any back
