We Eloped
Why? - I genuinely didn’t feel the need or desire to spend thousands on a wedding. I also think this was a moment between us that I didn’t need people to witness. We also read our own vows and we definitely wouldn’t have done that with other people around.
Where? - Woodstock, New Hampshire

Elopement is a growing trend among couples who wish to celebrate their love without the stress and expense of a traditional wedding. Many find that going this route allows for a more personal, meaningful ceremony. In our experience, we chose Woodstock, NH, for its beautiful landscapes and tranquil ambiance. This charming village provides an idyllic backdrop for couples searching for a peaceful escape to say 'I do.' For those considering elopement, it provides the freedom to focus on each other, rather than on guests and logistics. Couples can craft their vows, share personal moments, and create memorable experiences unique to their love story. Eloping also opens up options for destination weddings, as couples can choose breathtaking locations worldwide. With elopements becoming increasingly popular, they offer a new take on marriage ceremonies. Whether you want a winter wonderland or a beach sunset, the elopement allows you to create your dream wedding without the guest list pressure. Through our journey, we learned the importance of embracing vulnerability and expressing love openly. Elopements encourage couples to truly connect and prioritize what matters most—each other. If you're looking to explore more about elopement and how to plan your own, there are numerous resources and support communities available. Leverage these to make your elopement as special and personalized as possible.
