~WHO? Mrs. Jones Courthouse Elopement Pro-BAM!

Well! We did it. We ELOPED. I didn’t think I would write a long entry for my BAM, but I know that I personally wrung the internet dry for information about a courthouse elopement, and I know it’s a hot topic here on WW. SO.

Well! We did it. We ELOPED. I didn’t think I would write a long entry for my BAM, but I know that I personally wrung the internet dry for information about a courthouse elopement, and I know it’s a hot topic here on WW. SO. I wanted to include a little backstory, items that I thought were important to prepare for the elopement, and how the ceremony went down. Everything was planned in a 2 month period, from the date we decided to elope, to the date we married. It might totally bore some people, and feel free to skip over the text, but I want to touch base on the things that I wondered about and had no idea what to expect, and also some highlights. I’ll post the detailed recount below.

    Thank you all for the kind words! H still moaned and groaned about everything I wanted to have done before we eloped. I think he thought we were gonna run up to the courthouse in jeans, which he would have been perfectly happy doing, but hallllleeee no. I came to a common ground with him, gave it my best shot, and it just turned out perfect. I was very lucky to have an amazing set of vendors, supportive family, and honestly.. this forum. I definitely fine-tuned my vision after I spent about a year on here. Thank you to everyone for that!

    Oh, and if you're thinking about eloping, and your H wants to elope... highly recommend. You can still have a beautiful wedding day. It was no frills, but it was priceless being able to process everything as it came and really appreciate the moments that made the day perfect. I can't imagine I will be so calm at our celebration Smiley smile

    These pictures are amazing! I hope that people who think courthouse weddings aren't "real weddings" see this BAM; it will definitely change their minds.

    This totally reinforces the courthouse wedding for me. It's so beautiful.

    Kismet that you got married at Franklin County? Lol

    I hope this doesn't come off as pushy, and totally feel free not to disclose but I didn't know if my previous comment wasn't seen because you were still posting pics. Do you mind sharing your photographers name?
