Every year, The Elopement Co gifts an Adventure Elopement to one very lucky couple. It’s partly a way to build our portfolio so we can show future clients just how magical and experience with us can be, but it’s also a thank you to our amazing community for following along with us on this journey of storytelling and magic making.

This past year was a lot different than other years: a worldwide pandemic swept across the globe. Weddings were postponed and cancelled, loved ones were lost, and at the front of it all were first responders and essential workers holding the line so the rest of us could stay safely at home. So instead of focusing on jetting off to lands unknown, this year we decided to stay closer to home, and we focused on giving back to our frontline workers…

This year, we gifted one special frontline working couple the experience of a lifetime:

A Tiny Wedding.

After curating an incredible team of creatives and industry professionals, we put out the call. We asked frontline workers and their partners to tell us their love stories as an entry to the giveaway, and we were blown away by the responses. It was truly such a difficult choice to choose just one couple: each story was so moving, each couple so special, and in the end, to our surprise, we chose a couple that was nominated by the bride’s best friend. Our couple: Natalie, a Registered Nurse in a neuro/cardiac unit caring for patients with long-term effects of Covid, and Alex, a Physician’s Assistant who completed his education in 2020 by assisting in the care of Covid patients in Grand Rapids. He’s now a Trauma and Acute Care Surgery PA-C.

More than their professions, Natalie and Alex are truly the best type of humans. Joyful. Witty. Raw and real. They care deeply for their people and their patients and we are forever grateful to have been bonded by this experience.
