I was finished with my weddings for the year when Anna called. I was thrilled, just to get the call. And then I talked to her. She was so gentle and unassuming and audibly excited yet peaceful about her upcoming marriage to Loren. They both had demanding jobs and finding time to schedule and plan a wedding was proving to be difficult. All they really wanted was just to begin their life together… So they decided to elope. Anna says it took her family a moment to be ok with not being there, but they did. I was sooooo in. Their intimate Alabama elopement was perfect in every way and focused on what mattered most – them being married. My most favorite couple is the one who, out of all the wonderful, fun details surrounding a wedding, is the most excited about marrying each other.
Intimate Alabama Elopement at Chapel at the Waters
She found a beautiful, simple BHLDN dress, had Dorothy McDaniel do a gorgeous bouquet, and asked Loren’s preacher and me to meet them at the beautiful Chapel at the Waters. Have y’all been there? Oh my. It’s such a beautiful blank slate with all you need. Plus you have access to truly stunning grounds surrounding the chapel. Their wedding photos by the water and under the towering tree were beautiful.
After the intimate, emotional, extremely sweet ceremony, we wandered and explored those grounds before heading to Loren’s house to make sure we got a few moments at his, now their, home. It was a blissful day and I’d do it again every month if people asked me! It was a beautiful reminder of the true meaning and purpose behind a wedding day. When you peel everything else away – this is what matters most.
