Get romanced by this tropical elopement at a waterfall in Costa Rica
Terrence and I eloped alone at the base of a waterfall in Costa Rica on our ten-year anniversary. We spent two weeks traveling the coast and rain forest of Costa Rica and spent our wedding budget volunteering with animal rescues (sloths and monkeys galore! We love animals), riding horses, bikes, and ATVs, booze cruising, beaching, and hiking. We even made our own chocolate in the rain forest.
A water-themed polyamorous elopement at a lakeside bungalow
hen I set out to marry my boyfriend Tom, I’d already been married for nine years to my husband Dan. This would be Tom’s first wedding, so I didn’t really want to just run off and elope, but he was cool with it, so away we went. I didn’t want a big poofy white dress, since I’d done that previously, and I wanted to be able to enjoy my time with my new guy, so no fuss was my general goal. Here’s how our tiny elopement went down…
Pickles & Bob Ross at this sweet Austin elopement
Get ready for some AWESOME elopement advice (and more!) at this sweet Austin elopement: “If you plan to elope, don't feel like you need to cheat yourself out of what you want your day to be like. We still had 'traditional' wedding elements that we wanted to have. I wanted a long dress, to get my nails and hair done, and have flowers. Photography was also #1 on my list. Not because I wanted to have pictures for us, but I also wanted to document our day for those that didn't get to witness it back home. Find a photographer that will work with your elopement and style. That is absolutely key!”
A lovingly low-key elopement in Miami Beach
Lovingly low-key/easy elopement was our theme. We just wanted a fabulous day where we could celebrate together in a fun city.
We chose the date and location almost by default because Ben was scheduled to be there for training the week before, and had paid time off scheduled the week of Thanksgiving. We eloped for a number of reasons, but mainly because we did not want the meaning of the day to get lost in the shuffle of a big shindig.
