Grab Your Hiking Boots & Elope to the Mountains

When most people talk about a destination wedding, their thoughts turn to exotic beaches. However, that wasn’t the case for one couple we stumbled upon this week. Brides Hannah and Cassidy ditched tradition, grabbed their hiking boots, and decided to elope to the mountains! The couple wanted a destination, but didn’t have the budget – or the inclination to meticulously plan one! They settled instead on a plan to elope to the mountains in Iceland. The couple ended up exchanging their vows in front of a waterfall. Both brides wore white wedding gowns, but the terrain was not suited to dainty wedding slippers! Instead, they accessorized with hiking boots and backpacks! After the wedding, they headed back to the hotel where they sipped champagne and ate a non-traditional wedding menu of spaghetti before falling asleep. It may not be the traditional wedding some people expect, but Hannah & Cassidy said they wouldn’t change a thing!
