Introducing our newest planning diaries couple... Amber Zoë and Callum Gallacher. Here, they share their first entry as they start to plan their Scottish wedding
Radio presenters Amber Zoë and Callum Gallacher got engaged on Christmas Day
November 2025 update – she said ‘yes’!
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I’d be proposed to while wearing a flashing Christmas halo and a pair of Primark pyjamas!
My other half – or should I say my fiancé (cue the ‘woop woop’!) – has been getting stick for a while now from family, friends and also listeners of the radio stations we host.
Callum and I both present shows back-to-back on the Hits Radio Network in Scotland, and, after being together for nine years, listeners have really shared our journey with us, which is so unique and lovely.
Callum enlisted the help of the couple's son, Oban, and their dog, Sol
From moving into our home, getting our Frenchie, Sol, in lockdown and then the birth of our son, Oban, in 2023, they’ve been through it all with us.

The diamond eventually came on Christmas Day just past, amid the chaos of twinkling lights, Quality Street for breakfast and the overstimulating singing toys Santa had brought our toddler.
I picked up the smallest present, thinking it was definitely a piece of jewellery. I unwrapped it to find a Sweet Rosie jewellery box and immediately I gasped.
I absolutely adore my friend Rosalind’s brand Sweet Rosie. She is a Scottish jeweller and my go-to for personalised gifts, and I thought maybe it would be something with our son’s birth stone.
It was certainly a Christmas to remember for the happy couple!
But when I opened the box, it was empty!
Surprised, I turned to Callum, who was on one knee, holding out a ring.
“Do you want to be my wife?” he said.
I was in shock – not only that this moment was finally happening, but that he’d put so much thought into it by asking Rosalind to design the ring.
It was so lovely, and I loved telling Oban that Mummy will finally have the same surname as him, something that is so important to me.

What's next?
Unusually, we probably have to find a date first rather than a venue, and work around that. The reason for this is that Callum actually works in the wedding industry with Tartan Entertainment – so his 2026 and 2027 diaries are pretty full.
Step aside, brides, I want my date locked in too!
We have also been looking at castles to marry in – the venue directory on the Tie the Knot Scotland website has been so helpful.
