I am currently in a year round nursing graduate program and the thought of planning a wedding in between semesters for some date in the next three years is so stressful! We would love to escape to such a beautiful destination to commit our lives to one another forever and always. It would be such a blessing to have this opportunity to remind ourselves what our wedding will truly represent: our commitment to love and cherish one another for as long as we both shall live.

Those pictures are a dream! The night I first met my now-fiance, I wrote in my diary, “Something magical is happening.” Fast-forward five years and the magic is just beginning! It would be something magical, indeed, to pack up our bags, jet across the country, and devote ourselves to one another for life in the most majestic, dreamy, remarkably memorable place.

As a professional wedding planner myself, the stress of making our wedding this immeasurably perfect event has weighed down on us since our engagement last fall. What a delight it would be to pack away all those expectations and just surround ourselves in bliss in the hours leading up to our nuptials?

And finally, what could be more poignant than to get married ocean-side when our own terms of endearment for one another are “Shore” and “Sea”? Our song is Jon Foreman’s “In My Arms,” and his lyrics [I think I've figured it out, we need to be together like the shore and the sea. We are not one thing; we're drawn here together, my ocean and me.] ring so true for us. Just the thought of it brings chills up my spine!!! Ah!

Thank you for your sweet consideration!

I cannot think of anything more romantic then a spontaneous elopement to a farmhouse in Malibu, California…couples often get lost in wedding planning and forget the real reason why they are getting married in the first place. Being able to say “I do”, just him and I, without the hustle and bustle and stress, would be a dream. There would be nothing better then to sit with my fiance Mattias on the old wooden veranda knowing we were soon to be Mr. and Mrs. I can see him now, in his suspenders and I in a simple while dress dancing under the Malibu stars to Etta James. Not a worry in the world. All you would see were two people in love. His and I love for each other is crazy magical.

“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
? Dr. Seuss

And this is so true. I have found the man I cannot wait to spend my life with and a spontaneous elopement to Malibu, California sounds like the perfect way to do it.

Why would I want to elope in Malibu? Why wouldN’T I want to elope in Malibu!? My fiance and I are still in the early stages of wedding planning, but already we are trying to navigate the tricky waters of budget + family. An elopement would help us to create what has been our goal throughout our 8 1/2 years together – a beautiful and romantic celebration of the formal start of our lives together. Being huge fans of the farm setting AND beaches – this would just be ideal!

My fiance and I have been together for 12 years, and have known each other for over 20. We’ve had to postpone our engagement so many times, and now that we are finally ready to be married, we don’t want to wait anymore. We plan to honeymoon on the west coast, and I think Malibu would be a great starting point!

“Good things come to those that wait” is the story of my life. Ours is a tale of love that has surpassed time and distance. And more time. And more distance. And yet more time…

But at last the day came when we showed my 6 year old daughter my engagment ring (which is her birthstone) and she said, “Mama-is that a romantic ring? Tom, do I get to call you Daddy now?”

This precious child and I have been blessed with a loving and amazing man in our lives. Tom and I would be honored to exchange our vows and officially begin our family together in Malibu.

Thank you for this opportunity–with love and hope (and a little bit of patience) anything is possible.

I have always pictured my wedding to be a small intimate affair. My fiancé and I have had a long distance relationship for two out of the three years that we have been together. Because of this, we have really gotten into travelling, so it only seems fitting to go to a gorgeous destination such as Malibu to tie the knot.
