Victoria & Tyler
“Coming from a small southern town, weddings like ours are not seen often. Most are very elaborate with a lengthy guest list and usually eight to ten bridesmaids and groomsmen. A lot of stress and tears behind it all. Tyler and I planned on following suit, having a wedding with 200 guests at my grandmother’s house, and planning every detail. I knew all that planning was just not for me. We joked about an elopement, and said ‘Well if we do go somewhere, where would we want to go?’ We quickly decided on the west. We decided to go through with an elopement right before covid shut down the country, making our original plans sound impossible anyway. We were able to focus only on ourselves, soaking in every tiny moment. Back home, we had a reception in September filled with the busy, chaotic hustle and bustle to appease our family members. We hardly spoke to one another, and the night was over after the blink of an eye. It solidified our thoughts on how happy we were to have eloped.” 8
