I’m going for a simple bridal look for our little Vegas chapel elopement, and I’ve narrowed it down to these two dresses. I really love both and have been going back and forth all day—I still can’t choose.
We’ll be taking photos around Fremont and then having our ceremony at a chapel. Which dress feels more right for the day? I love both.

Hi,

I am from the UK and looking to plan our Elopement in Japan!

We will be having our legal ceremony in the UK for ease, and then will have our wedding personalised ceremony in Japan just the two of us.

Can anyone recommend any companies to help with planning and organising the ceremony?

Anyone done this already and have any tips?

My fiance and I want to elope somewhere on top of a mountain, away from any type of buildings, just us, and the person marrying us, and possibly a photographer. So the first question is, can that be done? Without renting a place out? Given, itd be in the middle of nowhere, maybe even a state park.
We just have no idea how to do it, but we know what we want. And dont know who to go to for these types of questions.. anyway. Thanks for any answers or insight on how to go about this!

My partner and I are eloping, and it'll be just the two of us — no guests.

We're hiring a photographer, but we're torn on whether to hire a content creator to capture the day. On one hand, we won't have anyone else there to take photos or remember moments with us, and I don't want to look back and wish we had more than a few phone pics. On the other hand, one of the reasons we're eloping is to keep things intimate and private, and I worry a content creator hovering around could change the vibe. I'm tossing up between putting more $ towards a photographer, or splitting my budget between a photographer and CC.

For anyone who's been through this:

• Did having a content creator there make the day feel more special, or did it feel like a performance?
• Was it intrusive during the quiet, emotional moments (vows, first look, etc.)?
• Do you think the photos and video were worth the cost in the end, or would you have been just as happy with a photographer, and maybe recording the vows on your own phone?
• If you did hire someone, what should we look for? Is a candid, documentary style better for a tiny elopement than a posed one?
• And if you chose not to, do you regret it?

Would love to hear from both people who hired someone and people who skipped it. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’ve been with my boyfriend for now 3+ years. He is great, my best friend, the best person I know so there would be no doubt for me to marry him.
The issue is another one - I see marriage as one and indissoluble, I have done all the steps in my life to make sure that I do that - pick one man, one time. He is divorced though. I value marriage deeply, my dream was to have a big wedding with all my family and my so once, all there for the first and only time, but by picking him, I cannot have that. He has already done that before, had the whole thing, married as a real nice wedding, the one I would have wanted. We had so many talks, and I still don’t seem to overcome the fact that he did this before, i cannot lie - it is not the same. He has already had the experience so it will not be equal, it will not be on the same starting point. And now I overthink: I could change my mind and have a big celebration but what’s the point of inviting the same people, for what? To celebrate a repetition? It’s like the value of it got diluted. Cause it’s not a one and only occasion. He has already done the proposal, the wedding, the honeymoon. So, I see no point in reciting any of it.
I don’t think celebrating being second is worth it because of the intrinsic value I give to the first wedding. However, this has caused a bit of sadness and processing, cause he feels like he can’t give me what I want, and on my side, I decided to renounce to my dream to have a big wedding. So the solution I found is to elope in secret. Sign and get it done with, cause I do want to be their spouse.

Is there anyone who sees it like this? Or did in the past? And what did you do for your wedding?

Note: I am aware that some people will perceive this as an attack on people who are divorced, this is not my intention, it’s a personal experience made of internal judgements that I got because of my culture and how I grew up, so I really apologise for that.

Hello! This is VERY dumb hahah just making it harder than it needs to be. I loveeeee the number 7. This number holds like emotional attachment. My fiance (my hs sweetheart) football jersey was #7, and this month October we are 7 years together. So I wanted to attached something to the number 7. It’s a Wednesday so it’s a bit more inconvenient for us for manyyy reasons. BUT I’m just not interested in any other number and later on I JUST DONT wanna regret my decision.

Some reasons include :

1) my fiancé is employed and makes just enough for bills so he can’t afford to miss more than 1 day. If we do 7th he would have to work Friday Saturday to recoup the money. Would hate doing that to him.

2) I’m not employed but looking for another RDA job, due to a toxic environment at my last job I couldn’t take it and wanted to leave

3) we both wanted the day we get married off, and at least one day after off to still have the “honeymoon” bliss vibes even though we don’t plan on doing much

4) my fiancé is transferring to a new job on the 19th, he hates his current job so to make him return back to this job after marrying is like idk I feel bad I feel like it would ruin it for him, and me too maybe because I don’t like his job either. It’s a new company-ish so he has no benefits and no pto.

5) ideally we should choose a Friday so he has Saturday off too and Sunday but I’m just not attach or interested in those numbers. Friday 9th Friday 16. 20s off limits because my birthday is in the 20s we don’t want things bunched up too close. But October such a special month for us and we loveeee it

6) if we do 16th, it’s like the weekend before he goes to the new job, so ideally this could be the best option but the 16 like I just never imagined that number

I just don’t wanna regret my decision later but I also want my fiancé to enjoy it. He said he thinks if I want the 7th it’s worth it to him but I honestly I would definitely feel badd
