Throughout the planning process we realized that we were trying way too hard to impress, or at least not upset, our loved ones with the way we were going to do our wedding. We even planned it a year and half in advance to give us plenty of time to save up for whatever we would need. Then, one night as I couldn’t sleep, all I could think about was how I would rather elope. I really do believe God had some planning in this because it had never crossed my mind before. So, before Dylan left for work one morning, I looked at him and said, “What if we eloped?”. Of course he thought I was just bluffing, but the more I thought about it, the more I loved the idea. We could do anything our own way, and it would feel more intimate. We even decided to invite very close family to come as our so called “wedding party”, however, they are going to be more like guest. Now, here we are planning to go to North Carolina to elope in front of our family in the most loving and personal way.
