Miss Opossum, Tallahassee Age and Occupation: 23, Aspiring Interior Architect Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, Soon to be Firefighter Engagement Date: October 30, 2011 Wedding Date: April 2012 Venue: The Retreat at Bradley's Pond About Me: I am a recent design graduate and aspiring interior architect that is a compulsive list maker, a Christmas light fanatic, and an avid nap-taker. This freckle-faced Southern girl loves being on the back of a horse, hanging out at the gym, and watching SVU with her rugby-playing fiance. It is a dream come true to finally be planning a wedding (in five months) to my high school sweetheart (of seven years). While preparing to tie the knot we're also balancing Fire College, grad school applications, jobs, and precious time with our supportive family and friends. We're moving fast...but are excited about enjoying every moment of this time in our lives!

Something About Elopements…

…get me every time. They are romantic. They are whimsical. They are touching and personal. They are so much less stressful than planning a wedding. And they do NOT have to be devoid of style…

Check these out!

And finally, Marisa-Andrea on elopement via A Practical Wedding (a pretty darn awesome blog, by the way).

So in the words of Rascal Flatts…”Why wait another minute for something we should have done yesterday? I know a little church with a preacher who could hook us up right away! Love don’t need a reason and baby I don’t see how I could love you any more than I do today, so why wait?”

Pretty beautiful, huh?

We eloped and it was the best decision we ever made. Right after our engagement I wanted to elope but my husband didn’t. Once he saw all the work/ expense involved coupled with the fact that we were in the process of buying a house both working full time and running a small business he decided we should do it. A pretty public garden gazebo on a Thursday morning in October don’t regret it wouldn’t have it any other way

@MeganTacky2247: Trust me… same here!!! There have been many conversations about getting a killer dress and driving off somewhere with a photographer that normally would have been way out of our budget. Our family would be pretty upset though…. so when my dad offered to help pay for a wedding I let go of that dream! Haha.
