We’re eloping because, honestly, we want to keep things simple and focus on the two of us. We don’t need a big ceremony to prove our love; we just want to marry each other in a way that feels personal and meaningful. The whole wedding planning thing felt overwhelming, and we realized that what matters most to us is the commitment, not the crowd. Plus, it’s exciting to have a little adventure together in a beautiful place, just us—no stress. We’d rather spend the money on something that feels right for us, whether it’s a special experience or starting our life together in a way that’s truly ours. It’s about making this day exactly what we want it to be.
