Rebecca and Andrew’s day was nothing short of beautiful, intimate and everything they imagined. They eloped in the beautiful St.Martins New Brusnwick overlooking the water. Just family and their two dogs was all they needed. I asked Rebecca a few questions about their love story.
How did your love story begin?
We met in queen square Jan 2019 when my dog Moses was just 7 weeks old. I was cheering him on for peeing outside when Andrew and his dog Leo walked by. We remembered meeting each other before at a party in the summer but we both were in a relationship. Luckily we happened to both be single when we met again.
How did he propose?
Andrew proposed at our favorite walking trail Sheldons point with a view of the ocean on February 14th, 2020.
Why did you choose to elope?
We chose to elope because we didn’t want to have to wait for Covid to end and I also wanted a small intimate wedding.
Describe what planning your wedding was like during a pandemic?
During the pandemic planning was quite easy. You and More were very accommodating and available to chat often. Lancaster Florists and pink icing were available and accommodating. I found you and More through Instagram and admired your work. We planned our wedding 2 months before hand. I rented duckpond cottage through Air BNB for a little vacation and then realized it would be a great little spot to also get married. We were in yellow phase thinking our siblings could also attend but we didn’t tell them in fear of going into orange or red. So no one knew except our parents. We told our siblings at a surprise zoom party a couple of nights later. My friends found out through social media. It was a great surprise. Everyone is very happy for us and understand our decision during the pandemic.
The arbor the built by Andrew and his dad a week before. Lancaster Florists stayed in touch with me and helped me pick out flowers for the arbor. I was really amazed at how beautiful it turned out. Andrew's cousin married us.
Was your wedding day everything you imagined?
Our wedding was more than I imagined. My day started with More and she is the sweetest person and so talented. My mom helped me with my dress and drove me to the ceremony. I loved how happy our parents looked. Despite the pandemic, everything was easy-going, romantic, outdoors, cozy, rustic, and inexpensive. The weather cooperated and made for a beautiful outdoor setting. It was legit a winter wonderland. Our parents finally got to meet. The makeup, hair, and photography blew me away. You guys helped make my wedding day so special and I love looking back on it.
