They decided to get married at Hackensack University Medical Center to be with Alysson’s ailing father. Photographer Stefanie Murphy had received an inquiry for a “last minute wedding ceremony” and soon realized that it was imperative that she take it.

This New York City pair planned a superb wedding in just TWO WEEKS! Yep, a whole wedding in two weeks including a venue, outfits, cakes, and more. And it was fabulous. Don’t miss the family walk down the ceremony (post breastfeed!), the daisy themed decor, the surprise Lady Gaga cameo at the after party, and the cake made by their friend (and someone you may know!) Ron Ben-Israel!

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.

Danielle & Andrew’s 1920s-inspired tiny wedding

Just wait until you see this tiny wedding with some Velveteen Rabbit, a gorgeous black dress, a groom in a dapper top hat and coat, all with a cross-country, long distance plan. It may not have been their original intent, but we can’t deny that it’s a fabulous result. Don’t miss the gothically delicious black feather and flower bouquet!
