Our family and friends are scattered across the globe, so my husband and I decided to elope. I have 1 regret.

Our wedding had no officiant, no guests, and almost no regrets.

Our family and friends are scattered across the globe, which led the author and her husband to decide on an elopement. The couple, residing in Washington, DC, did not wish to burden their loved ones with travel expenses for a traditional wedding. Having grown up in the East Coast, surrounded by relatives in various locations, and with many friends throughout the country, they believed that an intimate ceremony would be more meaningful for them.

The author highlighted that their decision was supported by their families and was not culturally significant in their background. The wedding took place in a park where the couple met, with the only scheduled activity being their dinner reservation. The author expressed her only regret was not hiring a photographer, as they only have selfies and a photo taken by the hostess.

Despite the elopement, the author emphasizes that the day marked the beginning of their beautiful life together.
