An Epic Backdrop At The Icelandic Seaside Elopement<\/span><\/h2>\n

The vibes in Iceland are otherworldly. We were in awe of this feeling of freedom and harmony everywhere in nature. We wanted to feel comfortable, so we chose <\/span><\/i>a simple jumper-skirt combo<\/span><\/i><\/a> and let the scenery be the focus. It was all very intimate, and we were on our own for most of the places we visited, which was really nice. <\/span><\/i><\/em><\/p>\n

Dealing With COVID Wedding Planning Stress<\/span><\/h2>\n

The atmosphere before the wedding was stressful. We had to cancel our wedding in Spain because of COVID, so <\/span><\/i>we decided to elope<\/span><\/i><\/a>. But everything was uncertain until the last minute. Our flights were canceled three times–the last being the day before our departure. But once we arrived in Iceland, we forgot about all of that. Eloping was the best decision for us because, in retrospect, we avoided a lot of wedding drama–especially because not all of our family is accepting of same-sex marriage.<\/span><\/i><\/em><\/p>\n

Why The Couple Recommends Eloping<\/span><\/h2>\n

It’s so nice to share your moment with the one who truly matters. Don’t spend a fortune on one day. Instead, have <\/span><\/i>a two-week honeymoon<\/span><\/i><\/a> in a place where you can really soak up the beauty and the feeling of this new journey beginning together. Having it be just the two of you gives you plenty of freedom and reduces stress immensely.<\/span><\/i><\/em><\/p>\n
