the romantic elopement...

janna just shared this with me (via design sponge)...

this couple started to get overwhelmed with the planning of their wedding, so instead, they eloped! i've always worried that my family & friends would be furious if i chose to elope rather than celebrate the moment with them (although i think my parents bank account might appreciate the decision), but also that i would miss out on all the little planning details i would want to incorporate into my own wedding. so while i've always romanticized the idea of eloping, i've also feared it at the same time. but seeing this video and reading their story made it seem like not such an awful thing after all.
