From the Bride and Groom…
Wiki and I, have so many family and friends it was a hard task alone excluding anyone from the guest list. We both have a lot of family abroad. We could only imagine what an extensive expense it would have cost for them to get here.
Our decision to Elope simply came down to doing it for ourselves. We wanted something easy, relaxed and low key. And that’s exactly what we got. The day couldn’t have been any more perfect and we couldn’t be happier!
Tips and advice:
Our only advice would be to do your research. Know what you want and find the right people to do it.
Above all, there’s no real right or wrong way to plan an Elopement/ Wedding. Just remember do it for yourselves. You just need to make sure both parties are happy. One thing Wiki and I learnt along the way, was compromise is one thing, but sacrifice speaks volumes. Giving up something you want rather than need, gave us both a greater sense of appreciation, value and respect for one another.
Thanks and special mentions:
