How do you want to remember the story of this day?
When planning your city hall wedding, think about the moments you would want to share with friends, family and future generations. Is it just about getting picture perfect portraits, or do you want to capture those authentic, in-between moments as well that truly capture your story?
Getting ready before your ceremony can be a great way to capture these intimate, real moments. This is your day, and getting ready doesn't have to just mean doing your make up and putting your clothes on in a stuffed room, but can be whatever you two will do to symbolically get ready before getting married. Whether it's simply grabbing food together, relaxation time with friends and family or going for an adventure!
Who will you have there?
Do you want this day to be just an intimate space for you and your partner? Or do you want to have your friends and family here as well to celebrate you two?
The true beauty of elopements lies in capturing the genuine connection between you two, surrounded by your closest loved ones (if you choose), making this day unforgettable.
Reflecting on these questions can clarify your priorities for the day and highlight the moments you'll want to cherish the most.
