As much as most of us love a big grand wedding, there is something so intimate, personal and ridiculously romantic about eloping. I believe eloping is so intriguing and alluring because really, who doesn't love a good secret?! ha! But seriously...when the stress and pressure of planning a wedding is gone and the focus is only on you and the love of your life joining together, how can it not be exciting and insanely appealing? Devoting your hearts and souls to each other, privately and intimately and with the special details you want. No appeasing the in-laws or your parental figure. Your wedding, your way.

Almost every one of us, at one point or another, have felt like running away...there is a feeling of exhilarating freedom in the idea of leaving everything behind and escaping your life and starting a new one. Usually that feeling comes in moments of difficulty or restlessness in our lives. But that same feeling of freedom that tickles our fancy and seems so appealing comes with running off to get married, too. But now you're happy, you're madly in love and you're running to something and not running away from anything at all. You're running to a partnership, a commitment, a new life, a forever love.

What better way to do it than in a spot that's meaningful to you? It can be a downtown rooftop that overlooks the city, a quaint park where you had your first kiss, a courtyard where you had your first date, a beach where you gazed at the stars and started planning your future, the local farmer's market where you shopped together and realized you like the same vegetables, the brewery that has become your favorite date night spot… the possibilities are truly endless! It doesn't have to be a mountaintop that you hiked an hour to get to and likely will never go to again. Eloping in a place that holds special meaning to you both will make you feel like you share this wonderfully perfect place that brought your tale to life, for the rest of your life.

So, let's go together, so we can make all the magic!
