Yes!
In order to surprise Chris for the ceremony, we couldn't bring a crowd to the event. We want you to be a part of the experience of celebrating our commitment with us after the fact!

Yes! We're planning to have a party in Los Angeles in early 2025.
We would love for you to leave us a message of celebration, share photos and memories of us together, or upload a video of congratulations on our DIGITAL GUESTBOOK available at: https://tinyurl.com/rachelandchrisbasicallyeloped. You can choose to make your message public or private, in case you want to send us a goofy or personal message.
