We wanted to take a moment to share with you why we have decided to embark on an elopement adventure rather than having a traditional wedding celebration. Our decision was not made lightly but was born out of careful consideration and a deep understanding of what truly matters to us as a couple.

First and foremost, we believe that an elopement allows us to prioritize the most important aspect of our wedding day: our love and commitment to each other. By choosing an intimate ceremony, we can create an experience that is solely focused on the connection we share, without any distractions or external pressures. It provides us with the opportunity to exchange our vows in a truly meaningful and personal way, where every word spoken is filled with authenticity and heartfelt emotion.

We also considered the practical aspects of planning a traditional wedding and recognized that it may not align with our vision. We wanted our wedding experience to be stress-free and focused on the essence of our love. By eloping, we are able to simplify the planning process and redirect our energy toward creating a personalized ceremony that reflects our values and interests. It allows us to celebrate our union in a way that feels authentic to who we are as a couple, free from the constraints of traditional expectations.

Lastly, we cherish the intimacy that an elopement provides. It allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the profound emotions of the day and savor each precious moment together. We believe that our wedding day should be a deeply personal and meaningful experience, shared exclusively between the two of us. Its an opportunity to create a space where our love can shine brightly and our commitment can be sealed with the utmost sincerity.

Please know that our decision to elope does not diminish the love and appreciation we have for each and every one of you. We hold you dear to our hearts, and we hope you understand that choosing an intimate ceremony is a reflection of our desire to create a day that is true to who we are as a couple.

We are incredibly grateful to have you in our lives, and we look forward to sharing stories, photos, and memories from our elopement celebration. Your love and support mean the world to us, and we are excited to embark on this new chapter, hand in hand, as we create a future filled with love, joy, and adventure.

We are thrilled to announce that prior to our intimate elopement, we will be having a couple’s shower to share our excitement and love with you all. While we have chosen to exchange our vows in a private ceremony, we couldn’t imagine a better send-off.

Tyler and I would also appreciate for everyone to prepare to have a recipe in mind prior to attending the shower. One of the things we value in our relationship is our shared love for cooking and trying out new recipes together. So, in lieu of giving advice on how to keep a happy marriage, we would love for you to share with us your most cherished family recipes for us to try ourselves. After all, we all know good food is truly the key to happy marriage!

We are so grateful to have you in our lives, and we cant wait to celebrate our love together. Thank you for your understanding, excitement, and unconditional support.
