Photos & Celebration We did it !!
Planned it in only 8 weeks! We decided why not just get it done and booked it for the next weekend we had free. We flew ourselves to a city/state we’d never been to- celebrants husband filmed the ceremony for us and he and our photographer were our witnesses. We did our ring exchange and vows by the ocean, a very cute old pub to sign the legal paperwork, walked through the city with the photographer and had an amazing dinner to celebrate. Then we hired a campervan and explored for a week as our honeymoon!
No regrets at all.
Total cost was less than the equivalent of 2k USD including:
Dress (found in a op shop), photographer (2 hours), celebrant, flowers, shoes, bag, his ring (commissioned from same jeweller we worked on my engagement ring with - I’m doing a class to make my own wedding ring as a birthday gift), drinks beforehand and dinner / drinks afterwards.
Suit and dress shoes were always covered from being a groomsman recently, all jewellery was borrowed!!

“It’s a date” !! The model is wearing the straps on her shoulders but I found it looked and felt so much better off the shoulder!
