Family holds a special place in our hearts, and your presence would mean everything to us. However, when it came to our wedding, we felt drawn to the intimacy and sincerity of an elopement with closest family members. It was a decision rooted in our belief that expressing our love in a more private setting would allow us to focus wholeheartedly on each other and the commitment we were making. While we deeply value our families and their support, we also felt that this approach would enable us to start our married life in a way that resonated most authentically with who we are as a couple. Choosing to elope was a heartfelt decision, reflecting our desire to honor our relationship in a meaningful and personal way.
