Our nth elopement wedding. But our first ever outside the Philippines, just comfortably nearby though, in neighboring Vietnam* ** - our first elopement wedding in mainland Southeast Asia.
Our nth, where { n | n ≥ 15? 20? } I don't know. I stopped counting.
There. n. Where n stands for n-e-thing but numbing or "not again" or "next...".
I just love how my “elopees”, despite them having similar reasons for taking the off the beaten path to matrimony, still allow their relational-emotional nuances as a couple to take centerstage. The presence or absence of something - like “holy moly that’s the biggest hedgerow ever” (the former) or absolutely no wedding ring photos or bouquet shots (the latter) - how everything else, takes on a supporting role.
I’ll let Chris & Brooke’s wedding film speak for itself. Enjoy!
* And so, it’s undeniably unadulterated Grace after all. Not SEO.
