Early on in the pandemic Mac and I decided that we wanted elope to exchange our vows. We wanted that intimate moment just for ourselves and to most importantly keep our friends and family safe as Covid was still raging and it was an uncertain time. However, we also knew we wanted to find a way to include our families to share in the joy. 

Thus, the idea to have a Bon Voyage dinner was born! The night before we were going to elope, my mom planned the most gorgeous - immediate family only - dinner at The Four Seasons Surf Club in Miami. I was excited to wear the most divine couture dress that my friend giambattistavalliparis had lent me. 

Looking back I feel like this dress was meant to be worn in this exact setting and I felt so beautiful in it.  It was the first time we had all been together as a family in over a year and it was so incredibly special. We took family portraits outside and since we had just gone to get our marriage license that morning it was a very celebratory night. Lots of toasts, tears, and laughs, I will never forget that evening together. 

Thank you Mom and Dad for the most special night of my life, I love you!  #BonVoyage 👋🏻💕🌴
