Boston Public Library Elopement, Jen & Dan

A pregnant bride and a groom dressed in formal attire hold hands while standing on the steps of a large, ornate stone building with double doors and two American flags.

The dictionary defines “elopement” as a marriage conducted in a secretive and sudden fashion, but I’m inclined to say the definition of the word has evolved. Jen and Dan’s Boston Public Library elopement wasn’t really secretive or sudden, but it was small and intentional. Jen and Dan wed at the Boston Public Library on a…

While in Thailand, they started dating. It makes sense that their relationship began in the midst of an adventure! These two love to travel and ski…
