Did you do any DIY Projects or create any handmade items for your wedding?

What creative or personal aspects did you include in your wedding?

My husband and son had personalized cuff links customized for our wedding day, and I wore my lucky white sneakers!

What is the most memorable moment of your day?

Just being present in the moment. We were able to enjoy such a special moment between ourselves and all those that came to celebrate with us.

We decided to keep the ceremony small and intimate instead of having a traditional wedding. Simply Eloped was made just for this! They offered a package deal and offered various add-ons to customize the perfect ceremony.

Definitely my wedding dress, but it was worth every dollar!
