After almost 8 years of a relationship and dreams of what our wedding would be like and should be like, we’re planning to not plan our wedding. Years of thinking about how I want that day to be and what special touches i want and making sure to make notes about those things that annoy me and i don’t want to be apart of our big day, I’m throwing all that away. Well, not really throwing it away, per say, since it will be more than we’ve ever dreamed of and the end result will be the same. We will be married. 8 years down the road and 3 kids later i just don’t have it in me anymore. The planning, the stress, the over thinking, the worry, the hopes, the inspirations, the time consumption, and the financial planning is taking all the fun out of it. So we are left with one choice.

Elope.

That one word makes me giddy, makes me feel alive and makes it all fun again. We are going  to go to Hawaii and pay someone else to make our wedding everything we want it to be. Simple yet elegant. Stress free. Wedded bliss. We will have a lot of pictures and a video to show off to everyone else and plenty of memories for just the two of us.

So now we are planning to not plan.. and if it all falls thru there’s still a court house right down the street!
