diy Elopement Ceremony

Jennifer, on January 12, 2018 at 2:58 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 4

Hi everyone! We are eloping on March 10th to the North Georgia mountains. We will say our vows and have the ceremony on a little island in the middle of a river. Very cool and beautiful scenery. We booked a cabin who owns the property including the island so that we could relax and do it as we please. It will literally be the two of us, our officiant and a photographer (who will both drive up the day of). My only issue is I can't figure out what exactly we should do to help it "flow" like a wedding / ceremony rather than us just walking out of the cabin and to the island (there is a trail down to the river). We will get ready in separate rooms then meet outside to see each other, which will be captured by the photographer, I just don't want it to be awkward silence while they wait for me to come out you know?

Should I bring a portable speaker and play a song while I come out? Any other ideas??

Thanks!

    I’m getting married in the forest. I’m bringing a Bluetooth speaker and playing music while I walk down the aisle and for our first dance.

    I don't think you need to play music if there are literally no guests. I'm sure FH will chat with the officiant and the photographer while waiting for you. And if not, they can all stand a couple minutes of listening to nature Smiley smile
