We love elopements. Have we mentioned how much we love elopements? We really really do… they automatically cut back of the “stuff” that come with a wedding (seating charts, venue hire, menu choices, colour combinations, bridesmaids dresses… stress) and focus on the absolute essentials… which is that 2 people are promising to take care of each other from this point onwards… better or worse, richer or poorer. That is a what a wedding is ACTUALLY about, but it often seems to be overlooked in favour of wedding favours and table settings and cake flavours. Not that these things aren´t fun, because they are, but sometimes it´s nice to just go with the essentials, and leave the rest up to chance. So this is why we were really excited when Theresa and Jesse contacted us and asked if we´d help them plan their elopement in Sintra… and we´re really glad that they did as it´s not every day that we get the opportunity to be a part of the planning process, and help to choose the ceremony location. They exchanged their vows in the gardens of the Pena Palace and ate their “wedding cake” at the famous Piriquita Pastelaria and it was the most perfect day. Thank you Theresa and Jesse, we are so glad that you found us and we loved every minute we spent with you, you are amazing souls and we wish you all the best for your future together!
