I&rsquo;d love to make a longer list, but here are my top three memories:<\/i><\/p>\n<p><em>Both my stepdad and dad walked me down the aisle, which is apparently too many people for Chapel Dulcinea (or maybe we were just too big). As soon as we started into the chapel we realized we all wouldn&rsquo;t fit so we literally had to walk down the aisle sideways&ndash;it was hilarious!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><i>My second favorite moment was managing a photo shoot with our two dogs. I knew it was going to be interesting, but wow&mdash;they were out of control. I bought little veils for them to wear&ndash;which lasted about two seconds. I imagined a cute family picture of us all in formal attire, looking regal (in a humorous way), but that was out of the question. Within minutes one dog had the veil completely off and the other one was eating her&rsquo;s!<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>The ceremony was short, sweet and lovely, but the best part was ringing the chapel bells after we were announced as a couple. It was a lot of fun and a great ritual to announce our union.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-518736\" title=\"yellow and gray elopement wedding in Austin, Texas - Jake Holt Photography | via junebugweddings.com\" alt=\"yellow and gray elopement wedding in Austin, Texas - Jake Holt Photography | via junebugweddings.com\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/11\/6c\/116ccb6e219d5ec6.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-518737\" title=\"yellow and gray elopement wedding in Austin, Texas - Jake Holt Photography | via junebugweddings.com\" alt=\"yellow and gray elopement wedding in Austin, Texas - Jake Holt Photography | via junebugweddings.com\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/cc\/fb\/ccfb7affcf5f21a7.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-518738\" title=\"yellow and gray elopement wedding in Austin, Texas - Jake Holt Photography | via junebugweddings.com\" alt=\"yellow and gray elopement wedding in Austin, Texas - Jake Holt Photography | via junebugweddings.com\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/9c\/71\/9c71a8448100a8c5.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-518739\" title=\"yellow and gray elopement wedding in Austin, Texas - Jake Holt Photography | via junebugweddings.com\" alt=\"yellow and gray elopement wedding in Austin, Texas - Jake Holt Photography | via junebugweddings.com\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/71\/ea\/71eaf011d59cfd4e.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-518740\" title=\"yellow and gray elopement wedding in Austin, Texas - Jake Holt Photography | via junebugweddings.com\" alt=\"yellow and gray elopement wedding in Austin, Texas - Jake Holt Photography | via junebugweddings.com\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/cd\/6d\/cd6d0db04d00aec1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-518742\" title=\"yellow and gray elopement wedding in Austin, Texas - Jake Holt Photography | via junebugweddings.com\" alt=\"yellow and gray elopement wedding in Austin, Texas - Jake Holt Photography | via junebugweddings.com\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/7d\/01\/7d01844322134b59.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-518743\" title=\"yellow and gray elopement wedding in Austin, Texas - Jake Holt Photography | via junebugweddings.com\" alt=\"yellow and gray elopement wedding in Austin, Texas - Jake Holt Photography | via junebugweddings.com\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/f8\/7b\/f87b4d416ee83a21.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-518745\" title=\"yellow and gray elopement wedding in Austin, Texas - Jake Holt Photography | via junebugweddings.com\" alt=\"yellow and gray elopement wedding in Austin, Texas - Jake Holt Photography | via junebugweddings.com\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/46\/2e\/462e0fdf75af67e4.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"><\/p>\n<p><b>The Look: <\/b><i>It all started with the dress. I wanted a dress that was comfortable and pretty &ndash;and that could be worn again! I&rsquo;m actually planning on wearing it for all our anniversaries. My main concern with my wedding style was avoiding a costumey-look since my dress had a 50s\/60s feel and I have a short, bob haircut.
