From Marriage Proposal to Wedding in Gran Canaria: When an Island Becomes Part of Your Story
Some places stop being simply travel destinations. They become part of a shared story. Perhaps it all begins with a holiday in Gran Canaria, an evening by the sea or a sunset you still remember years later. And sometimes one of those moments becomes the beginning of a new chapter: with a marriage proposal in a place that suddenly takes on a very special meaning. Just like in this video. A marriage proposal in Gran Canaria can be much more than a beautiful backdrop for asking the big question. For many couples, it creates a lasting connection with the island – and sometimes that journey eventually brings them back to…

Wedding in Gran Canaria: special places for a celebration that feels like you
When you start imagining a wedding in Gran Canaria, the first images that may come to mind are the ocean, sunshine and a ceremony outdoors. But the island has much more to offer. A wedding can take place overlooking the Atlantic, on a finca surrounded by greenery, in a private villa, in a garden, in the mountains or in a quiet place with a view that becomes part of your story. And that is one of the biggest advantages of planning a Gran Canaria wedding: there is no single way to celebrate it. The location can reflect the kind of wedding you imagine, the number of guests you invite and,…

What This Wedding Season Has Taught Me About Love and Personal Ceremonies
This wedding season has taken me to some very different places. I have had the privilege of accompanying a wedding in the Austrian mountains, a ceremony in a barn and another in a beautifully restored castle. In Gran Canaria, I have stood beside couples on a boat, among the dunes and in locations that could hardly have been more different from one another. Some weddings were large and traditional. Others were small and intimate. I have accompanied symbolic wedding ceremonies, elopements and vow renewals. And although every one of these weddings had its own atmosphere, one thing became especially clear to me again: In the end, it is always about…

Personal time capsule for couples: a romantic idea to preserve your love.
There are moments in a relationship that feel quiet and yet mean everything. A glance, a conversation, a shared decision, an anniversary, an engagement, a wedding or simply an evening when you realise: we have grown together. These moments cannot always be captured perfectly in a photo. Sometimes, from the outside, you cannot even see how important they were. And yet they remain deeply present for a long time. A personal time capsule for couples can preserve exactly these feelings. Not as a big project, not as a perfect production, but as one small conscious moment: you write down what connects you today, what you wish for and what you…

Romantic Picnic in Gran Canaria: A Special Idea for Your Proposal
A romantic picnic in Gran Canaria is a beautiful idea for anyone who wants to experience a special moment together: personal, calm, lovingly prepared, and set within an atmospheric backdrop. Especially for a marriage proposal, a picnic can be the perfect setting if it should not be loud or exaggerated, but genuine, close, and emotional. Gran Canaria offers a special mix of sea, mountains, warm light, sunrises, sunsets, and small retreats. But the most beautiful proposal does not come from the setting alone. What matters most is that the moment suits you as a couple. A picnic creates exactly that space: for closeness, surprise, personal words, and a conscious pause…

Love Knows No Place – the Inselboda Podcast: conversations about celebrant ceremonies, elopements and destination weddings
Some wedding topics can be explained wonderfully in a blog article. Others only truly unfold their impact when you hear them.

Getting Married in the Canary Islands: Which Island Is Best for Your Destination Wedding
Destination wedding in the Canary Islands: why Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura work so well for international couples A destination wedding in the Canary Islands is for many couples far more than just the idea of getting married abroad. It is not only about sun and sea, but about the feeling of celebrating in a place that feels special while also remaining easy, harmonious and accessible. That is exactly why the Canary Islands work so well for many international couples: they combine nature, atmosphere, versatility and a certain inner calm with the feeling of consciously stepping out of everyday life. Anyone dreaming of a wedding abroad is often not simply looking for just…

Wedding in Tenerife: which couples the island is especially suited for
Symbolic Wedding in Tenerife: Who this island is especially suited to as a wedding destination Not every island suits every couple. Some dream of endless beaches and open space, others are looking for peace, simplicity, or a very specific style. And then there are couples who long for exactly that mix: nature and atmosphere, contrasts, views and emotion. For many of them, a wedding in Tenerife is therefore an especially fitting choice. Tenerife often feels more layered than other islands. That is exactly what makes it such an exciting wedding destination. The island brings together different landscapes and moods in a small area: impressive heights, green slopes, rougher coastlines, viewpoints…

Wedding on Lanzarote: volcanic landscapes, calm and minimalism for your wedding
Wedding on Lanzarote: volcanic landscapes, calm and minimalism for your wedding There are islands that inspire loudly. And there are islands that work quietly, but deeply. For many couples, Lanzarote belongs exactly in that second category. The landscape is reduced, clear, and at the same time extraordinary: dark volcanic earth, white houses, wide horizons, rugged coasts, and a light that makes everything feel almost slightly surreal. That is exactly what makes a wedding on Lanzarote so special for many couples. If you are not dreaming of a large traditional wedding, but rather of a place with calm, style, and character, a symbolic ceremony on Lanzarote may be exactly right for you. The island…

Spiritual wedding preparation: how to mindfully align as a couple for your ceremony
A wedding does not begin only in the moment when the music starts, the guests stand up, or you look at each other during the ceremony. For many couples, it begins much earlier, on the inside. In the time before the ceremony, a special in-between space often emerges: between everyday life and a new beginning, between organization and emotion, between anticipation, nervousness, and the deep knowing that something meaningful is about to happen. This is exactly where spiritual wedding preparation can be valuable. As a flexible concept and something intended both for highly spiritual people and for those who are less spiritual. A conscious way to gift yourselves time as…
