We’ve been together for three years now, and we’ve known for nearly as long that we wanted to be together forever. Even though we wanted to get married, we felt that the production of big wedding wasn’t for us. We considered planning a wedding, but we wanted the ceremony to be personal, intimate, and true to ourselves and our relationship. Not to mention that after a long engagement while I was in college, we just wanted to be married already! An elopement was the obvious choice, so we decided to elope and have a reception later on to share the joy of our union with family and friends. It took a couple of months of planning to find the venue and book everything, eventually deciding on Star of Texas Bed & Breakfast in Brownwood, Texas to exchange our vows. We still have more plans and details to work out, but we’re very excited!
