Please be nice to Wolfy in the comments, he's very shy on camera... We had to edit this a lot because there was a lot of dead air and he constantly swears (he says it's a Scottish thing) 🤣 If you have seen my newer videos, you can see he is starting to feel better about being on camera, thanks to lots of your encouragement.

[@reelynn77]

You and Wolfy sound so much like me and my husband. The nerdiness and my husband's ability to make me laugh. We had a cheap medieval wedding. My husband would never allow me to video him so Wolfy's willingness to do this is wonderful.

[@dryingshift]

You two are such an adorable couple! I couldn’t stop smiling the entire time I was watching this :)

[@sarahinscotland]

Thank you 😊

[@ZoeMikelStites]

You two are adorable. The look on his face when you were trying to get him to say more for the intro is how I feel every time someone asks me to share a "fun fact" about myself in a group setting.

[@sarahinscotland]

Haha yea...it took me a very long time to get used to it too. And I STILL get deer in the headlights when I talk to someone in person

[@JohnJames-kw5de]

😂

[@michellemuldrew827]

This was so sweet. I live in Denver/ I'm 63 and I smiled all the way through this.

[@sarahinscotland]

I miss Denver!

[@Bpl541]

It was great to hear your story Sarah and Wolfy. I wish you both a very long, happy, healthy fulfilling life together and I think the wedding photos in Scottish dress are beautiful. What lovely memories 🙏❤️🐈🐈‍⬛

[@kelseyjanae1]

'He's way more compassionate about animals than he is with people.' LOL that's me. 😂

[@o0Daisy0o]

I didn’t expect it but this vid made me proper belly laugh!! Wolfy is hilarious and the relationship you guys have is so adorable

[@lmiller1356]

This was so lovely to watch. I met my husband at a train station in London after a gig, I lived at the other end of the country and after chatting on the train we exchanged numbers. We kept chatting “long distance” (not as long as you guys!) and 6 months later I moved across the country to be with him, whilst only 230 miles it was a culture shock so it must have been quite the difference for you moving country. This year we celebrated 15 years together so it was obviously meant to be, sometimes a chance encounter when you’re not even looking for someone can be just what we need ;)

[@sarahinscotland]

That's awesome! I love hearing those kinds of stories because I can totally remember how it felt. 😊

[@GM-yn9nc]

So there really is magic in the world and you two together are the living proof. Loved your video and watching your chemistry and hearing your stories. Thanks for sharing!!! I had a smile the entire time.

[@carolyncalhoun7555]

Wow what a story! You two are hilarious. So glad you found each other. It was obviously meant to be. You're both adorable. Your wedding ceremony looked very unique. Wishing you many happy years together.

[@sarahinscotland]

Thank you Carolyn!

[@DominiqueJolyArt]

😆 you two are so adorable! Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@petergoddard1960]

'Quantum Entanglement', just about damn near perfect, Shaun. My wife and I met 24 years ago and that just about perfectly sums it up. Changed my life.

[@karenc.4330]

Shaun you have some seriously stellar hair! I mean like, hair goals for guys. Thanks for sharing your sweet story. Sarah, I felt that same pull in my soul when I visited Scotland a few years ago and can't wait to return to see more of it. Glad I found your channel and that you found each other. 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

I'm finally watching this video after watching your recent, longer Q+A video and my gosh! You two are absolutely amazing together! I couldn't stop smiling the entire time! And his message to you... saying how he hopes he'll see you again! Ughhhh... so romantic! Lol... I'm 44 and very old school about love stories and yours didn't disappoint! Cheers to a lifetime of love together for you both!

[@sarahinscotland]

It definitely felt like some kind of fairytale

How adorable are you two 😍! Serendipity works in such a funny and mysterious ways.

[@thepoodledoodlepainter]

Amazing!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@essietangle9931]

Gives new meaning to it was meant to be. We must remember that an artist is a detail person…it’s in our DNA. You all have done a great job of blending….keep it up, time flies.

[@sarahinscotland]

Thank you!

[@TalaiRain]

Thank you for sharing your story. It is sooo sweet, and it does feel like it should be a movie.

[@elainefournier7376]

Super nice to see you "au naturel". Truly enjoyed this video. Very entertaining and so happy you are together. It starts with a simple hello and look at you too now! May you have many many years to enjoy each other. It was worth the painful process of the Visa. Be blessed!

[@user-cv8yw3qq5m]

Happy for you two. What a wonderful story.❤️

[@theuntroddenpath]

Hilarious! Love your love story. My other half rarely lets me be annoyed too and that is soooo annoying. But also hilarious. 😂

Sarah! I just discovered your channel. I so love your whimsical quantum entanglement I am trying to find a job and move to Inverness myself. I’ve been on solo trips twice a year for the past years with high hopes of meeting a Scottish man and life partner So happy for you both Scotland feels more like home than any place in the planet. The pull to move there is real! 😊

[@sarahinscotland]

I hope you get to follow your dream! Inverness is really cool

[@angelalewis4213]

You too are an adorable couple! Thank you for sharing your story

[@sarahinscotland]

[@sarahinscotland]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@samlawsonhowells8827]

Thanks for this guys! Really enjoyed hearing how you got together. You have a special bond and share a crazy sense of humour just like I do with my husband. Would love to share stories over a pint or two! if you ever want to explore the South Wales coast get in touch! I have learned so much about art from you and love your videos of the glorious Scottish countryside, I look forward to each new episode. Slices of your life are a real boost to morale in the current situation, you are so generous. Wishing you all the best, take care of each other x.

[@sarahinscotland]

Aww that sounds lovely. I do want to explore Wales someday!

[@reeseosbornestudios]

Thank you for sharing Sarah. It was an awesome story. I have gone through stuff in the past too and have had panic attacks as well. They aren't fun. Wolfy was so hilarious he cracked me up.... just curious if you still celebrate Thanksgiving at all and I hope you will share a bit of celebrating Christmas in Scotland. Hugs. 🎄

[@sarahinscotland]

I made a mini version of thanksgiving dinner but we don't celebrate that here. But we will celebrate the solstice, Christmas and New year here :)

[@gorgeousmixedmedia]

Such a fun Q&A. I've been through this whole process myself. My husband is from Sweden and moved to the US. The long distance was rough. We visited each other several times before his K-1 Visa finally went through, and oh my gosh the financial drain! I don't wish the whole process on my worst enemy. We'll soon be celebrating our 5 year anniversary. You two seem very happy and lucky to have found each other 💙

[@sarahinscotland]

Those who have gone through it really feel thankful to live in their country 😄

[@claritzairosario68]

Love this video! And I didn't know who was Wolfi until now. I love your story ❤❤❤

[@spruceandsquirrel]

Thank you so much for sharing your story and telling us more about you two! ❤️ I laughed SO HARD when you played the clip of "My Heart Will Go On"! It's a hard song to play on the flute! It takes sooooo much breath to play those long notes! (I did a duet on the piano with my friend on the flute. She HATED me for picking this song!) My hubby likes to make me laugh when I'm sad or angry too. It is very annoying, cuz you just need to feel the feels sometimes.

[@sarahinscotland]

Haha yea that song meme is an instant laugh 🤣 I can't imagine trying to play it any better!

[@woutsebastiaan]

I only recently discovered your channel. I love (making) art and I love Scotland so this is such a perfect mix of content :) So I thought, let's watch this video to get to know you a bit more and now, well, I am just thoroughly impressed by Shaun's freaking hair and beard!!

[@sarahinscotland]

Hahaha - I call it anime hair! It has it’s own center of gravity

[@celestebergin1468]

I have been very fortunate in my life to have found “my other half” too. I wish this for everyone the whole world over…to experience the kind of love you share for one another. Thanks for this charming video. Such real-ness is a rare thing in today’s world.

[@lynnb_and_ky_springer_spaniel]

Such a lovely insight into your lives and so glad we watched. Have been watching several of your lovely videos today actually, and of course, have liked and subscribed. Looking forward to more beautiful cinematic footage, just wonderful Sarah

[@sarahinscotland]

Yay welcome!

@@sarahinscotland you're top of my watch list 👌

[@linelomholtart5555]

Thank you for this amazing video - love to hear your story and seeing you together, you guys are sooo cute! I totally feel the struggle with visa and being from different countries - I am from Denmark and my husband is from Brazil, we met in India and it's almost impossible to get a visa any where 🙈 So nice to get to know you guys some more. Hope there's gonna be a part 2 😍🙏🏼

[@sarahinscotland]

Oh wow! So what did you do? Where did you move?

Your love definitely shines through both of you. Candy P

You guys are just sooo adorable I love you bothhhh ❤️❤️ you have such a nice lovely story destroying all the fears concerning long distance relationships. If you wanna make it work it will, it just need two committed individuals 🥰🥰

[@sarahinscotland]

Thank you so much!!

[@jannahlyon]

This was a lovely little journey, thanks for sharing it with us (for some reason I imagined the train ride being like the Hogwart Express - when you mentioned the food cart I immediately wondered if there were pumpkin pasties 🤣). I also moved to another country (Australia to the US) to be with my love, and it totally resonated with me when you guys mentioned that it was just so easy to be around each other - that's how I knew I had to give it a go too ... all good 21 years later 😍

[@sarahinscotland]

Aww that's awesome to hear! 🥰

[@Slaveofhell01]

I am still so happy for you guys, that you found each other and that your love still is strong! I love you guys and I am glad that you are my friends! Hopefully I can see you again soon! I miss you!

[@sarahinscotland]

We miss you too!

[@Emma_Katherine]

Hi Sarah, I loved this video :) So cute! I've been watching you for awhile (not even sure how I found you) but I have loved looking at all the Scottish scenery and you're so down to earth. When I started watching I had no idea that I, also an American, would be moving to Scotland...but now I am. I'm so excited to get to re-watch some of your videos and see all kinds to fun places I should visit. Keep the videos coming!

[@sarahinscotland]

Omg wow really?? Where are you moving? Why are you moving? 😄 sorry I'm nosey

[@Emma_Katherine]

@@sarahinscotland well, obviously I'm nosey too....I sit around and watch other people tales of their lives on youtube ;) I love the inside peak at others! My husband got transferred for work to the UK and we did not have any particular place we have to be. We've been here since Sept traveling around staying in Airbnbs looking for a rental. Our intention was to settle in southern England, close to an airport as my husband travels, but.... we drove up to Scotland and were blown away! It's other worldly! We're in Knoydart right now and looking to settle in Aberdeenshire (found a house that fits us, finally!). You guys are outside Inverness, right? I'm planning on driving all over! So many great spots :)

[@Shining-Star-]

Aww you met a wee Glasgow lad. What a nice serendipitous journey. 🎉😊🎉

Great video love your story of how you met, the love you have for each other shines through in this video.My husband and I met via an ad in the newspaper we then phoned and sent letters then met in person. 21 years later we are still happily married. Definitely keep making each other laugh, it’s the key.

[@sarahinscotland]

Sorry i'm late in responding! YT marked it as spam. That's amazing you met through the newspaper!! Is that like the original version of a dating app? So happy for you!

[@daviemcf]

Fantastic video Sarah and Shaun, what a lovely couple.Sarah's reaction to getting her visa was very emotional but lovely to see and the wedding photos were amazing. I wish you both a long and happy life,all the best, Davie. btw subbed.

[@sarahinscotland]

Thanks Davie 🥰

[@lulabelle33]

I am cracking up already. Shaun's comment comparing men and women telling a story does smack of truth lol. And love the eyebrow and facial expressiveness . You two are adorable.... oh just realized that was credited to dave chappelle. Still funny and true

[@sarahinscotland]

Eyebrow power! He's got the expressive faces AND can do really good voice impressions, and imitate almost any accent.

[@Tinrebel]

Sarah (and Wolfy) I’ve always enjoyed your art videos and wondered how you were living in Scotland and married! Your stories were so much better then I could have imagined. I loved Scotland when I was there in 98, been back to England but not Scotland, I watch videos, love the scenery, such beauty! Wish you both lifelong happiness and love! Love from San Diego, love Mexican food too!

Thank you so much!
