FAQs
Question
Why are you eloping?
Answer
When thinking about how we wanted to get married, we decided that we wanted the day to be centered on our relationship and to be surrounded by our immediate families. While we debated on having a more traditional ceremony with all of our family and friends, we felt that that was just not “us.” We also dreamed of a destination wedding that we would get the chance to include our passion for travel and explore a national park, hence the decision to be married in Shenandoah National Park.
