We chose to elope for several reasons. Mainly because we have been together for so long that we just wanted to make things official without all of the stress that comes with planning a larger wedding. Also with Covid-19 and the Delta variant, we wanted to minimize the number of people traveling. However, we do intend to hold a larger celebration in the future when covid is less of a concern.
Not yet because of school and Covid, but hopefully sometime soon in the future!
No idea but probably not anytime soon.
Yes.
Since we are both attending universities in different states and have our own apartments, we have already amassed quite a lot of items that couples typically put on their registry. We finally decided on a honeymoon and first home cash fund registry because we both believe that it's better to invest in experiences and our future, not things. Our trip will leave us with a lifetime of happy memories and we look forward to the day we can close the gap and buy our first home together. But please do not feel obligated to give, your presence at our larger event in the future will be enough :).
