Our Wedding 12.23.15
Last Month Rob and I did something very unexpected. After being engaged over a year, without really setting a date to get married, we decided to heck with planning, lets just elope and make it about just the two of us. After doing a bit of research, we realized that its a lot harder to elope than the movies made it seem. Plus, the first thing that came to our minds were how much our mothers would want to be there. So we started planning an elopement in a different way. We booked the room at The Bicycle Thief where we had our first date(few dates) and invited our mothers for a lunch to thank them for helping out with Aubrey so much while I tried out the insurance world. Telling only those who needed to know like our great friends Jeff and Jenn of Cooked Photography and my Make up magician Vicky Mina, we started planning the little details and legal things we needed to make this "lunch" a wedding. Once we were all there, Rob dropped the news to the moms that they were there to be our witnesses. As you can see from my moms face of the first photo, it began a very happy and emotional afternoon. After everything was signed and said, we sat down for a delicious lunch before heading out on our own for a little photo session in Point Plesant Park. It was so calm. It was so relaxing. We were SO happy.Thank you to everyone who sent us congrats and well wishes thus far. Its been 3 weeks and we have no regrets for how we did it. Yes I still one day want to have a reception with a bit more of a wedding feel. But this will forever mark our big day and it was perfect.Katie Rose xo
