We heart elopements, especially when everything seems to just come together serendipitously, like the cake shop next door to the massage place you’re at.

Just the two of us: Erin & Caleb’s intimate courthouse elopement

I have a soft spot for elopements anyway, but when one is written as beautifully as this one, you know it’s going to catch me right in the feels.

Alise & Adam’s intimate San Francisco surprise elopement

These cuties met on Tinder! After the bride’s experiences as a wedding hairstylist, the whole idea of a wedding wasn’t for her, so these two took off to San Francisco’s city hall to get married and surprise all their friends. With only four people in attendance (and one cheeky officiant!), they made it official. Don’t miss the purple hair, glittery gold dress, and amazing scenery.
