What made you choose to elope?

We love to travel, so a destination was always in our plans. But, we decided on elopement because it allowed us to do things how WE wanted to, without the pressures of outside influences. We would’ve loved to have our family and friends there to share those moments with us, but it was so special to have something, a moment in time, that only the two of us shared. It allowed us to be in the moment, and focus on each other solely, without any distractions.
