The Afternoon

After finishing up our portraits with Zach, we hung around Lake Brownwood for a little while longer, taking a few more pictures by ourselves with Kori’s camera. Now we have come back to our suite where we are changing clothes before heading out to dinner. We took more photos of each other in our wedding attire on the deck and we’re picking a restaurant in town to have dinner at. Even though it’s a small town, there are a couple different nice restaurants to choose from, so we’re checking out their menus online before deciding.

The Morning of…

Today is the day! We’ve gotten up and have all of our clothes laid out and ready to go.

Eileen took some time this morning to go get her hair done at a place she found in the area. I was here by myself at the Hideout taking pictures, preparing myself mentally, and of course getting my camera equipment ready for shooting pictures of everything. We have a photographer, but I also want to capture our own images of this huge moment in our lives. The view outside our room on the deck is absolutely wonderful.

Eileen is getting ready. I haven’t seen the dress yet, but very soon I will. The photographer is supposed to be here around 11:30 am, so I’ll go ahead in a few minutes and get dressed to greet him.

I’m nervous. I know I’m going to lose my composure and cry when I say these words that I prepared. We’ve written our own statements to read before completing our vows, and we haven’t discussed them with each other. It’s a surprise. We collaborated on the actual vows, which we both think represent what we believe and how we feel.

Choosing to Elope

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!
