Okay so not date set yet (discussion in the new year) but my FH and finally decided to just elope with my best friend and her husband as he loves them and gets along well with her husband (sports men) and we will do downtown Tampa. Even better I have booked a photographer. Now to find an awesome venue but downtown Tampa is beautiful for photos as it has city lights but by the bay. Best part is having my best friend there the day of to help me get ready and stand by my side which means the world to me. Would love more people there but this will be just as magical. This is actually a huge step as we now know what we are doing. Now to book the officiant. Lame post but thanks for reading because I am excited.

    LOL thanks. It was a lot of back and forth and now that I know what we are doing I feel relieved. Since it will only be 4 of us choosing a date is whatever. I just suggested a Friday so we had the weekend to chill but I could careless if it were Monday night ha ha. I am too type A to not have a plan. Going to take our friends out after and maybe he will be cool with inviting a few more friends to dinner and have a group outing.

    Adding a few friends afterward sounds like a nice idea for a mini reception.

    For real? Even $500 would be a lot but much more doable so that is a no because I am not going to pay that ha ha.

    I'm getting married in Tampa in April!

    My venue is ridiculous, getting married at the Marriott Water Street.

    For downtown Tampa pictures, I would check out Armature Works and the Riverwalk area, they have super cute water taxis. You could also check out Bayshore Blvd to take some water pictures!

    Sounds like an awesome plan Smiley smile

    Yay!!!

    Definitely let me know if you need any help!

    We took our engagement pictures in St. Pete so we could do some beach shots but Bayshore was second on my list.
