Shana, a Frolic! reader, recently eloped with her boyfriend, now husband, to North Carolina. She wrote me this morning to share the photos. The whole thing is so simple, so lovely and so romantic, I couldn't wait to share them with you!
Shana and her husband dated in college, parted ways- living abroad and traveling the world separately. Seven years later, they were serendipitously reunited. When they decided to get married, both were determined not to get caught up in all the hoopla of the wedding industry. The wedding was planned in three weeks.
Thank you for sharing your photos, Shana! Congratulations! To see more photos of their day and find out more details, visit their photo album.

So charming! What a lovely church. Best wishes to them!!
What a lovely wedding!
What a lovely story. Congrats to the happy couple! I’m all for eloping and will most likely do it myself one day.
Sweet and simple…I love it. 🙂
Thanks for posting the lovely photos. I applaud them for pulling off such a romantic, private wedding & not giving in to the huge hoopla that people do. Some of today’s wedding are more like a circus, or a media event. The first photo with the church is stunning. Best of luck to them
Looks like they still hired a professional photog, neat.
They look so happy. Such a simple, beautiful wedding.

New reader here..love your blog, just found in through Smitten. 🙂
I don’t think this could be any more romantic!
Yes, Daniella, they had a professional photographer. I think it is a great idea to keep some of the pretty details, have a great photographer to record the moment but keep the rest ultra simple!

What a beautiful story and pictures. What was the serendipitous ocassion that brought these two back together?
wonderful! love the simple approach… more focus on the two happy people!!!
I did the extra simple approach and felt like I needed something bigger for our one year anniversary… but learned I didn’t…
This was a wonderful story. We manufacture custom magnets and a good majority of our business comes from Save the date magnets. This item would be better geared for those who are planning out their wedding as opposed to eloping. There is still a mysterious magnificence to the eloping method that seems very adventurous.
