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. 

When you think of eloping, you usually think of a beach or a mountaintop. But why not a city? Dublin, Ireland is the perfect urban destination for a couples elopement.

The charming cobblestone streets and classic architecture make for a romantic, timeless backdrop. Plus, there are plenty of places to explore around the city. From the Guinness Storehouse to the National Gallery of Ireland, there’s something for everyone!

Running around the streets of Dublin for the first time with I + I was incredible!

Getting to see somewhere for the first time with my couples is a dream come true and even more so when it is their first time too! Something that only we get to share. Although the streets were busy with on lookers and shop goers we found bits of quite that we could carve out for ourselves on this overcast day.

Imagine the city in the morning: people are taking their pets for walks before work or getting their daily exercise in. There is the quite bustle of activity while the city is waking up.

But you and your partner are doing something a little different: getting ready for your urban adventure elopement.

2 years ago they were supposed to get married in Key West, but we all know how 2020 went. D + K didn’t let that stop them from planning an intimate wedding in 2022!

Now on their 14th anniversary, they made it happen! It wasn’t initially planned that way, but I couldn’t think of a sweeter date for them to get married. We started the day K and the girls getting ready together at their beach rental before heading to the beach.

NYC: a city that never sleeps, has amazing food and different stunning architecture at every corner! It is an adventure every time I get the chance to go there and this time was no different.

Have you ever wondered what getting married on a boat would look like? How it would make you feel? Or why it would a unique thing to add to your elopement day?
