Eloping

via Duncan Wolfe

I'm not going to elope. It would break Ethan's heart a little if we didn't share the day with our family and closest friends- and over the months since our engagement, he has convinced me and I'm looking forward to our simple ceremony. Plus, his dad has been practicing his bagpipes since I asked him to play a tune during/after the ceremony.  And his mom has been so sweet to coordinate so much of the day. And his sister-in-law is baking all sorts of summer pies...

And when was the last time I saw several of my close friends in one venue?  Ages ago.

It is decided.

But, this elopement-- a couple ran off to Paris to elope--tugs at my heartstrings in a different way.
