[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Classic

[@sariahlee]

Awww dang. But I do love Concerning Hobbits so it was lovely to hear it for a moment:)

[@SmileBrightfuly]

When you are struggling to throw away sentimental things - You can just take a picture of them! Especially for things that you are unsure of

[@kirstenweaks1289]

“What are you eating?!” Lol the life of being a golden retriever mom 🤣

[@mallorypotter477]

Ahhh I can’t wait for the official Scotland life vlogs to start!!!! 🐮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 can’t wait to follow your new chapter(s) 🫶🏼🥹

[@flohs51]

seeing your moving process and how you have been processing it is so helpful to me and I'm sure so many others. im moving for the first time ever from where I've lived all 23 years of my life and im so excited for everything its going to bring, but its such a huge change and the adjustment is so unknown!

[@kristenworley970]

The closeup shots of Fergus 😂😍

[@nsa976]

It’s the way I RAN to watch this

[@stephaniebanks8861]

I truly can’t believe you actually did it. Can’t even imagine how surreal it is for you lol Im so happy for you Mary! :)🤍

[@eloraghosh1547]

i know this was posted post-move but when you mentioned bubble wrapping your perfumes, i thought i’d mention - i always wrap my perfumes/plates/fragile things in clothes!! saves space + bubble wrap + uses things you were gonna pack anyways

[@Geisiele]

Mary, i love tour vlogs!! I'm from Brasil 💛 Can you tell me the name of that font that you use in your thumbnails please? They're PERFECT

[@urgranddma]

this is literally what i want to do next year

[@lilya1308]

It takes a lot of strength to follow your dreams Mary, so I hope you're proud of yourself!! Wishing you the best of luck settling in to Edinburgh 💖

[@helanamulder1718]

i appreciate how you talk about this move. It's exciting and new and a dream come true, but it's also hard and emotional and going to be tough for a while. The vulnerability and sharing of your thoughts/feelings is so nice and I'm so thankful we get to watch you on this next journey!

[@GodsSoldier33]

I'm a new subscriber. Starting following you because of your move ..transition from US to Scotland..my favorite country that I've never been to In the world. 😁🙃I appreciate your vlogs. The informative vlogs about the process to move there. Visas etc. And your packing process. This has been SO Insightful for me. I plan on moving there from the US in another years time ( work visa). I've already started the process, paper work on my end before I actual start the visa process. Also decluttering getting rid of things. I total love what you said at the very end..how you feel and that you will change as a person because it is a huge life changing move. I wish you all the best! May love and happiness continue to flow through your life with your hubby and in all you encounter in your lives. The actual move will be the final BIG stress. Once you are all there in Edinburgh, it will look like a huge heap of a move, but guess what? It will be a HUGE BIG sigh of relief..you all have arrived! Yay! So proud of how you handled and still handling all of this. ❤ from Chicago

[@julieboelter8722]

i'm soooo excited for Scotland vlogs!!! i laughed so much with Fergus and the rug lol he loved the empty space

[@baileyzale]

Absolutely loving this content; can’t wait to see more on your move and settling in in your new home!! Ily ❤️

[@alaafawal2254]

OMGG baby fergie is SO big now🥹🥹🥹🥹 🫰🏻🫰🏻🫰🏻

[@stephaniecervantes4138]

You did it Mary, so proud of you!!!!!

[@angelicajacobs584]

My hubs (Scottish) and I (Canadian) are looking to go Canada to Scotland next year - busy saving up! The packing bit I'm a bit worried about. My husband legit could pack his entire "canadian life" in 1 big suitcase and I think if I wanted to bring everything i want it'll be at least 5-6+ suitcases haha. My mum has moved countries many times and her suggestion to me was pack what you LOVE unless you have and want to pay money for them. She's like if I packed your wardrobe you'd have half of it because you wear the same things over and over. You can always buy more! We'd also be travelling with our dog, too! It's so confusing the dog travel to UK. We've moved between US and Canada many times with dogs and never had this much confusion and extra-ness as going into UK with a dog.

[@palomajarque1214]

We moved from London to Abu Dhabi a few months ago, we had to pack our lives and say goodbye within 2 months. It was super stressful and mentally straining, I have PTSD just watching this video lol 😂😂

[@gracegoedhard9981]

Mary, you are killing it! I’m loving your content as I’m planning a move to Edinburgh as well! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@evelyne.u]

In the beginning of your video you were talking about your wedding. Do you have any tips for organising your wedding day? Or maybe talk about it on the podcast? Would love to know your thoughts about this topic!

[@sara3sparkles]

Omg I walked down the aisle to concerning hobbits too!! Omg! That’s so cool! 😂

[@loriboo1]

This is becoming a comfort video I’ve watched it a weird amount of times hahah. I’d love to see an update now that you’re in your new home about products/items you’re glad you brought with, things you wish you did pack in suitcases, etc. 🥰 I am so curious what perfumes made the cut to be brought with you hahah. So happy for you and this milestone in your life ❤️

[@AllyssaBurke]

Wow, totally relate about the wedding planning process. And I almost felt guilty because I would say "I don't care" to things and people would respond "Are you sure?? It's your dayy!!" and things of that nature, so it was hard. Almost like I had to pretend to care about things that I simply did not.

[@shannontozer9993]

Mary could you please do a series or video with a deep dive into your visa process for Scotland? Im from New Zealand and my partner is English and we will be going through the visa process in the next year or so for me for the UK, i just want to hear as many experiences as possible! I’d really love to hear about yours! Much love x

[@CheyenneWhitley]

Are you planning on doing a budget breakdown for all the moving cost you had to pay?

[@koolmikki]

our signing music was a live piano version of the shire from lotr!

[@loganalu]

So excited to follow along with your new adventure. Kudos to you for being brave enough to take the leap ⭐️

[@hg_24]

Mary I’m so unbelievably proud of you! From the first day I watched your videos you always talked about moving abroad and you’ve finally done it!! I hope Scotland is treating you well and I can’t wait for the many more vlogs to come

[@Kailtyn.Jackson]

How were you able to move to Scotland I want to move there but I’m about to be in my last year of high school

[@tttaryyn]

I also walked down the aisle to concerning hobbits (string quartet) 😆

[@ashleykambeitz89]

Why am I getting emotional about someone else’s move lol. It’s so crazy to know this is the last vlog we’ll see of this apartment and your life in Virginia. I’m so excited to see what comes next for you and it makes me determined to continue to push myself until I achieve my dreams.

[@gabbyjackson8005]

So excited for this next chapter of your life Mary! It’s gonna be so good! Congrats on getting thru the move!

[@lilypickett2386]

love the guapos shout out! as a former northern va girlie, i'll miss the random dc area sneak peaks watching your channel gives me! but also so excited to make a running mary-in-edinburgh rec list!!

[@Cara-gq2ub]

My aunt always has her gift at weddings be framing the invitations in a really pretty frame! You could frame yours so you can look at it vs. keep it in a box.

[@natnatmerp]

Omg girl I used that lotr song as well for my husband’s family and my family walking down the aisle song but in a violin version!! Love it!

[@LesMacAttack]

Currently watching as I pack for my flight to Scotland in less than 24 hours 😂

[@alexa6693]

I’ve been an avid fan but totally missed that you had a bronco!

[@annas8524]

Soooooo exciting for all this new and upcoming content!!!

[@laureldesmarteau]

[@emreese11]

[@unasadventures]

I would love to see a video or podcast ep about getting back into your routine after moving💖💖 I hope you are settling in nicely and giving yourself grace to find your new routine!!

[@meghannnn96]
