Our Courthouse Wedding

January 31, 2024 💍

After going through the most painful and heartbreaking situation we decided it was time to finally get this thing done. (We were engaged since 2019).

One year later and we are officially having our Church wedding to celebrate with friends and family too!

... Read morePlanning a courthouse wedding can be both exciting and daunting. It's a perfect alternative for couples seeking a more intimate setting without the stress of a big event. Our wedding included meaningful touches like my DIY bouquet made from white roses, crafted from a target ribbon. Moreover, we found elegance in budget-friendly choices like our golden wedding bands refurbished by a local jeweler, which not only saved costs but carried sentimental value. Afterward, we enjoyed a lovely dinner at Carlucci's Grill, making it essential to celebrate these special moments with loved ones, even amidst an intimate celebration. As you plan your own courthouse wedding, consider personalizing elements that reflect your journey together. Whether it’s selecting a special cake flavor, like our vanilla bean icing with a hint of chocolate, or opting for joyous decorations that resonate with you both, embrace the beauty of simplicity in your celebration. Remember, a courthouse wedding can be as special as any grand affair, filled with love, heart, and unique details that tell your story!

We eloped! — & it was so worth it 🥰
There’s something so peaceful about stripping away the pressure of planning, the financial stress, and the expectations, and focusing on what really matters: the two of us. We wanted our wedding day to be about our love, not the logistics — and eloping at the courthouse gave us exactly that. No

The outfit I made for our Courthouse Wedding 🤍
My fiancé and I are doing a destination wedding and decided to get married here first to save money! Making it a legal ceremony in Punta Cana would have added an extra $1,500 to our wedding bill which we thought was ridiculous when getting married here was $50! ($40 for the license and $10 when we

We dated for two weeks before we got married! 💍
Once upon a time in the crazy world of work, I found more than just a job - I found love. And not just any love, but the kind that starts with a quirky, weird proposal. 🎆Picture this: my now-husband, who also happened to be my manager, swept me off my feet with a proposal that was more spontane

I have the most handsome husband 🥺
I have so much wedding content I still haven’t shared. I think I hesitated because I didn’t want to “bore” anyone or make it feel like I’m stuck in my bridal era. But I posted leading up to the wedding for a year and a half… so why would I not share the actual results? Our wedding was four month

This was the perfect day for both of us. Neither one of us wanted a wedding for multiple reasons, so the two of us and my friend (photographer) went to the court house on a Tuesday. It couldn’t have been better. Maybe this is your sign to go with your partner and just do it. ✨ #courthouseweddin

For my civil wedding, I kept things simple, elegant, and budget-friendly. My dress was from Shein for $25, and I paired it with shoes from Shein for $36. I customized the dress by adding beads and a fluffy fabric at the bottom to give it a unique, personal touch. My hair and makeup were free, and I
