Eloping ✨

After 12 years two sons later were doing the damn thing 😍. I know what you’re thinking, hear me out we were planning a wedding before covid hit. Once it did of course everything was at a stand still. Then his grandma passed away during Covid, due to Covid 💔. And that kind of loss deserved to be grieved. It didn’t feel right to get married after so we decided to hit pause until everything opened back up and we let everyone grieve such a big loss. A few months ago we looked at the wedding prices have skyrocketed since we first started looking so we ultimately decided let’s just elope 🩷🩷 We found a cutesy little chapel in our hometown and can’t wait to celebrate our love with our immediate family 🩷 we’ll have a reception later on at the end of summer 🩷 #almostmarried #fiance #bride2025 #Lemon8Diary #lemon8challenge

... Read moreEloping has become a popular choice for couples seeking to simplify their wedding experience and prioritize personal connection over traditional elements. Many couples are now leaning toward small, intimate ceremonies, often in beautiful, scenic locations. The increasing costs associated with traditional weddings can deter couples, as seen in our experience where wedding prices soared post-pandemic. Factors such as venue costs, catering, and guest accommodations can add financial strain. Eloping allows couples to celebrate their love in a more personal and budget-friendly manner. Additionally, elopement provides an opportunity to honor significant memories, making it a special choice for couples who have faced challenges, like the loss of a family member. This journey helps create a more meaningful occasion surrounded by loved ones. As we transition into our new chapter of life, planning for a future reception later in the summer allows us to celebrate our union with a wider circle of friends and family. This blend of intimacy and community ensures that we honor both our relationship and those we hold dear, demonstrating that love thrives in various forms.

I eloped in July with a school crush I'd had since I was 12 after leaving an abusive ex. We are still happily together. We self solemnized at a library and took pics at lake. We will of course do a bigger interfaith and multicultural wedding in future. I wore a 1920s insured Babe Beyond fit. Th

I remember a time when I had to put alarms on doors. I would never let him walk without holding my hand . He would just run to the street and he was so fast . I was terrified and didn’t know how to help him so I just avoided going out with him . I asked for help from OT and they gave me tips . But

A vintage cream rotary phone sits on a white tablecloth between two framed signs, one in English and one in Spanish, inviting guests to leave a message. The image has a large text overlay: "DON'T INVITE THESE PEOPLE TO YOUR WEDDING."
A group of people, possibly wedding guests, stand in the background with rows of white chairs in the foreground. A text overlay reads: "The aunties/uncles/cousins that you don't feel safe around. You don't need to add any more anxiety to your day."
Three young people are standing together with an outdoor background. A text overlay states: "High school friends that aren't currently in your life anymore. Yes, the friendships were beautiful, but they faded out for a reason."
Don’t invite these people to your wedding 🙅🏻‍♀️
Alright, let’s be real, some people just don’t need to be there. Am I right, or am I right? Also, if deciding on the guest list is difficult for you, maybe discuss eloping. #lemon8partner #wedding #2024wedding #weddingtips #relationship #2024bride
