Our French Elopement, Part One
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On Monday September 10th, 2018 I awoke very early in the morning in Nice, France, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea to marry my handsome Jeremy. Just four days after we surprised six friends with where in the world we're flying to, and that it wasn't for a bachelor trip but an elopement.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]For as long as I can remember I’ve had a dream I never told anyone about. I have no idea where it came from, but somewhere along the way I created the daydream that before our big family wedding, my husband-to-be and I would elope to England.
