✨ Here’s what to say to your family if they keep trying to tell you not to elope
📸 As Colorado Elopement Photographers, we know that sometimes family members aren’t on board with wedding couples choosing to elope. It can be frustrating for loved ones to make you feel like you are disappointing them or worse. So here are some helpful things to tell loved ones when they try to pressure you into not eloping.
👉 Save this post to come back to later, or send this to someone who can use it - whether it’s an eloping couple or a family member who has been trying to get a wedding couple not to elope. And follow us for more helpful elopement tips!
🫶 We value your love and support, and we hope you understand that how we get married is our choice and it isn’t about excluding anyone - it’s about embracing what’s most important to us.
🫶 Eloping is about celebrating our love in an authentic and intimate way. We’ve never been the type to be the center of attention and it wouldn’t be true to who we are to get married in any other way.
👉 We aren’t comfortable being the center of attention while sharing such a personal moment, and would rather have an intimate day celebrating our love. We can always celebrate together after!
👉 We’re eloping because we are following our values: intimacy, authenticity, adventure, and a deep connection with each other and nature. We hope you can support us in following our hearts and creating a day that’s uniquely ours.
👉 We really want to save money so that we can put it towards other aspects of our lives, like buying a house, raising a kid, paying off our student loans, going on an epic honeymoon. We’ll still have an amazing celebration, just at another time in another way, but it’ll still be with you 🫶.
