Elope in the Heavens!

Wedding planning is the worst part of the whole wedding experience.
Everyone has an opinion about what you should be wearing, etc. that it eventually drags you down.
Eloping is a wonderful idea and I had the most romantic wedding I could have imagined.
My husband and I started planning our wedding but things got really expensive really quickly and we didn't think it was necessary to spend all that money on one day.
We started researching
destination weddings and soon found out that the most elegant and least expensive way to get married was on a cruise ship!
Not only do you get to pick your destination and trip itinerary, but you also get the chance to go on a beautiful trip with only your closest friends, the ones you probably wanted to come to your wedding in the first place!
We settled everything with the cruise line before boarding and had a
romantic ceremony in the evening overlooking the Greek islands. The cruise line was very accommodating and helpful.
Some people might think it could be imposing to have your parents and close friends on your wedding trip/honeymoon with you but that wasn't the case at all.
We picked a day closer to the end of the trip to hold the ceremony and it was like getting the
honeymoon before the big day!
It worked perfectly for us and was the best way to end a wonderful cruise.
Look into you, you will LOVE it!
