We Eloped! Click images for larger view.
What a day, it was incredible. I cannot divulge faces yet as no one has been told. But I got some of the most amazing photos, the sun was setting over the blue ridge and was filtering through her hair and netting of her skirt on her wedding dress. I could not have asked for a more excited happy and loving couple.
When it's good, it's real good!
 
It is a fantastically good feeling isn't it! We felt so good after ours to think we helped with it.
When the Gazette expressed interest in our Package i asked them if it would be OK for the PRESS to be there. She said yes - and was totally thrilled to have so much to do over their wedding. I sincerely hope we feel that way about each and every one we do. I took a few photos (stills) including the one that had gotten 390 hits on FB! She loved them - even though there were so few - with her cousin and the Press taking photos, there was not much room for me. They got a CD with all the photos as well as 2 copies of the DVD of my video. I showed her the blog before they left Thursday and she was very happy with that also.
The joy in their faces and in the kids that they were a family again!
I am so glad you had a perfect day with the perfect couple for the first.

So happy for you and the couple!
 
It sure is fun watching you all with your weddings!
 
We were truly blessed to be a part of this happy event. This has been the highlight of innkeeping for us to date. We hope the rest of them are just as special!
 
I am not sharing their ID's openly yet, here is one showing the Officiant and the ceremony:

Can't wait to see the pictures. Congratulations on a job well done. Small elopement packages seem to be going well for those of you in the mid-Atlantic.

if it works for you and the customer go for it - definitely a market for smaller less cripplingly expensive weddings! especially for renewals or 2nd times round.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
ROCKY MOUNT YOU DID IT AGAIN!
We had guests here at the Claiborne House Bed-and-Breakfast getting married. After an elegant elopement ceremony at the Claiborne House, they took beautiful wedding photos and had cake and a toast on the porch.
Then they proclaimed a change of plans, instead of the fine dining meal they had anticipated, they just wanted pizza! I recommended they go around the block or cut through High Street Cemetery and go to Hema’s Italian Restaurant for some great pizza.
At Hema’s they were treated so kindly, the owners brought over a special dessert and sent them home with extra goodies in their doggy bag. At check-out the next morning here at the Inn they told me about all of this, about all of you and what you did for them and it brought a little tear to my eye. They had never experienced small town southern hospitality before, and you knocked their socks off!
Thank you to the person or couple who paid their tab, you will always be a special part of their memories made here by this happy newlywed couple from Norfolk Virginia.
Rocky Mount you did it again, and I could never be so proud!

How wonderful!
 
It is hard to believe a full week has passed since this elopement. I am now able to share photos of their faces, and although I don't want faces as such in our marketing I do want you to see what I saw, the look on the groom's face here, you will understand what a blessing this first elopement was to DH and I.
He is seeing her for the first time and she is pinning the boutonniere on him here.
