If you’re thinking about eloping in a beautiful place somewhere in the world you’ve undoubtedly come across the term “adventure elopement”. Despite being certain you want to do something out of the box for your wedding day, once again you’re being boxed in by this new term. Now you’re contemplating if you’d even define yourself as “adventurous”, trying to navigate where you fall into the spectrum of outdoorsy-ness, and getting lost in a sea of options. Enter ME. Your little beacon of light. Guiding you through the bullshit and confusion towards a day that is simply defined by: “doing-whatever-you-want-to-do elopement” (…I’ll work on a less wordy definition later)!

What you choose to wear on your wedding day is an expression of who you are and you should feel like the best version of yourself in it. No matter how particular your personal style is there is a dress, suit, or jumpsuit for you! If anything, the real trouble lies in narrowing down all the options out there. Lemme help you out before you even need to cross that bridge!

What a whirlwind an adventure! So, get this – K + A met 8 years ago back in Orlando (where they still live!) through mutual friends, and guess what? They just pulled off the most epic Key West elopement ever, and get this: in just a month! Talk about spontaneous and meant-to-be. So, they kicked off their big day chilling and getting ready separately at the Pier House Resort and Spa, getting all dolled up for the adventure ahead. And you won’t believe it, but they hit up the Key Lime Pie Bakery, diving into some killer Key Lime pie (we got the coconut one, so good!) before heading to the Hemingway House – priorities, right?

Hold onto your hats, because B and M just redefined sunrise elopement goals in the most epic way possible!

Imagine this: getting ready in the dark before having your first look by the light from the hotel windows. The sun, still rubbing the sleep from its eyes (and we were too!), witnessed B and M exchanging vows at the front of the sailboat off the dazzling shores of Key West. As the sunbeams danced on the water, these two sealed the deal and then dove face-first (literally!) into the sweetest cake I’ve ever seen on a boat. And the adventure didn’t stop there! B surprised M with a moped – the key to unlocking a day of true exploration and their awesome ride to the Hemingway House.

What makes NYC so romantic? Is it history? The culture? The lights? If elope there it will be all of the above, plus your love story. Imagine having a chic courthouse wedding, before exploring the city, and ending the night with a fat pizza. Or having your first look at dawn on the Brooklyn Bridge and  having an intimate ceremony and picnic in the park afterwards. There really is no wrong way to elope in NYC!

Big cities and new places can feel overwhelming, but luckily NYC is so loved that there are endless resources for even the littlest things. Today we’re going to talk about the big stuff: How to get your marriage license, where to stay, when to visit, places to elope, and things to do. Let’s get those things off your plate and jumpstart your imagination!

It was a weekday morning in downtown San Francisco. The two lovebirds, after years of dating, were finally taking a huge leap toward marriage and starting a life together!

They showed up at City Hall, the iconic Beaux-Arts building, to tie the knot in a sweet and simple wedding. They were surrounded by nothing but love. What started off as a typical weekday morning, slowly turned into a very special day. And with it being a weekday morning it was quite as can be in this typically bustling building.

It’s totally up to you whether or not you want to believe in the Irish folklore of sirens, fairies, and leprechauns—but the overall beauty of Ireland is 100% irrefutable. The sites, culture, people, and scenery are equally wonderful. The country is steeped in a proud history and the phenomenal landscape has inspired musicians, poets, and artists alike. Trust me when I say the rolling hills are even more green in person, the sounds of the waves below the Cliffs of Moher are louder than you can imagine, and being stuck on a country road due to rouge sheep blocking the way isn’t just some made-up movie scenario. It’s almost as if the rest of the world falls away and you’re transported to another, more tranquil place in time.
