FAQs

Question

Will there be a traditional ceremony and reception?

Answer

We are still planning out details, but we are considering City Hall for the ceremony or a public outdoor space such as Central Park. Though there won’t be a traditional reception and dance, we are planning a dinner at a fine dining restaurant. We will confirm location and make reservations after we know how many will be joining us. After dinner we'll continue on to experience nightlife at nearby establishments to carry on with the celebration.

Question

Why are we eloping?

For us, eloping is a more intimate way to share our love. We decided on a "love-more, stress-less" approach to getting married. New York City is a beautiful place where we will begin our life together as husband and wife and be able to have our honeymoon too!

Question

Do we feel guilty for eloping?

Answer

Our choice to elope wasn't made lightly or with the intention of causing any hurt or upset. We understand that our decision may have come as a surprise to you and we apologize if it caused disappointment. Our decision wasn't about excluding our loved ones, but rather about creating a wedding experience that feels authentic and true to us as a couple. We want a day that is intimate and focused solely on our commitment to each other, without the pressure or expectations that sometimes accompany more traditional weddings. Our love and appreciation for our family remain as strong as ever, and we look forward to sharing many more special moments together in the future.
