What Excites us about Marriage

We are each other’s best friends- so we were SO excited to marry one another. We are even more excited to share the future of the unknown and build a life together!

What We Enjoyed Most About The Concept/Design of our Elopement

To be honest.. everything was absolutely perfect and exceeded beyond our imagination. The looks! Every look was perfection … from Cris’ OMJ suit to the headscarf on the boat, Meagan Kelly’s custom gown, the hair & makeup vision and execution. Not to mention, the sunrise vows next to the ocean with the background of Italy’s landscape, and celebrating our elopement on a boat at sunset.. a DREAM!

(Custom Dress) Meagan created my dream dress, I was SO happy with how it turned out.

We loved how water + the history of Italy (city of Monopoli & Polignano a Mare) was incorporated into the scenery.

The whole photography team and the videographers were a blast to work with- they made us feel comfortable and positioned us to create some unbelievable shots.

(Florals) Jenn with Meraki Blommor… her vision for the florals were unbelievable.

Favorite Part About Our Italy Trip

So many favorites! Having one of my best friends do my florals was really really special. The food, Italian lifestyle, and the history of Italy. Cris’ family is from Italy so being able to say our vows and begin our marriage in a country that holds such a close place to our family was really magical.

Best Elopement/Wedding Investment We Made In The Process + Prep

The best decision we made was to work with Honey & Thyme for our dream Italian elopement. What I loved about working with H&T was their timeliness on responses and keeping me in the loop at all times about the vision, design, and concept. I truly loved their minds… they were able to put together something that I could’ve never imagined and putting my full trust in them was the best decision we ever made.
