Amanda and Jason met on an online dating service, so since they had technology to thank for their meeting, it's not surprising that it became a HUGE part of their elopement. They, their two guests, their officiant, and their photographer (Melanie Grizzel from She-n-He Photography) turned off their cell phones and turned on their cameras. The rest was history: a Skyped elopement.

When they decided that an elopement was right for them, they found Austin Texas' The Inn at Wild Rose Hall on Offbeat Bride!

She packed them all up into her suitcase and brought them to Austin.
