Is this a typical wedding day?

Answer

Not exactly. We’ve decided to elope July 1st and have our reception as a celebration with our loved ones! At the reception, we’ll share our joy and excitement, and you’ll get to enjoy a fun party in honor of our marriage. There won’t be a formal ceremony, but we’ll have special moments planned, like toasts, dancing, and plenty of time to mingle and celebrate together. It’ll be a laid-back, joyful celebration of our love and the start of this new chapter with all of you by our side!
