Q & A | We ELOPED in the Mountains WITHOUT Family or Friends: Cost, Dealing with Family, Regrets?

You asked... and we answered! We are finally sharing everything you wanted to know about our adventure elopement in August of 2023. This day was everything I could have hoped for and more, but it didn't go without it's own difficulties. Getting married in such an untraditional way meant not really knowing how much it would cost, figuring out how to break it to family and friends, and creating a day we would be super excited to look back on. I am so excited to finally share all of the details, and if you have any other questions, we are happy to answer them in the comments!
