Tell me, would you elope?
{elopement with stunning green curtains from here}
I saw this lovely post with ten of the most beautiful elopements over on Grey Likes Weddings this morning.
Just imagining eloping gives me the butterflies, and I’m already married! One of my favorite parts of our wedding was looking out and seeing so many people we love in the same place, so we didn’t really consider the idea. But there were a few stressful moments when I thought to myself, sheesh, I understand why people elope!
When I think about couples eloping now, I can’t help but think how brave! It must be so freeing to share that event with only your spouse and the person marrying you.
Well, and a photographer.
Would you ever consider tying the knot without a big audience? Did you think about eloping instead of having a big wedding?
(And if you’re wondering why I’m still looking at wedding blogs when I’m already married, well, because they’re just so darn pretty! Oh, and they’re great for party inspiration too!)

I would totally have pushed for elopement if my parents hadn’t insisted on flying in. (They eloped and married in Alaska 29 years ago!)

Only parents and our chihuahua will be in attendance. (!!!)
As in today?! Amazing! Congrats, Katherine! I’m thrilled for you. That sounds like an almost-elopement to me 🙂 Wishing you both many happy years!
Thanks Emily! The deed is done. What a day!!!
I honestly have never wanted a big wedding, but I do want my close family to be there. I want to celebrate with them. I guess I’d go for the middle between elopement and large wedding, and opt for a tiny wedding.
[…] know how I feel about elopements and driftwood. So you can imagine my excitement seeing this elopement on a beach with enormous […]
