You might know by now that Maddy and I eloped this past weekend at Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe. 
It wasn’t exactly spur of the moment. We’ve been talking about getting married really since we started dating. Then we knew we were having Dakota and we focused on her. We went back and forth about whether to wait and have a big wedding but decided we really wanted to unite the family before Dakota came.
At first we were just going to go the court house and make it official, but I wanted this to be special. I proposed about two weeks ago and set a plan for Tahoe. We got married at Emerald Bay and had a beautiful dinner afterward. We didn’t invite anyone, not even parents, and it was perfect. If anyone out there is thinking of getting married, I highly recommend eloping just the two of you. There is nothing more romantic or perfect for that moment. We plan to have a big one later with all our friends and family to celebrate. But this was our special moment.

I love my family. I’m so happy. I can’t wait for my daughter to join us.
