When a courthouse (almost) steals the show...

The Santa Barbara Courthouse is a real stunner, white-washed and draped in coral trees. 🌺 It's so popular for tying the knot that it has its own wedding coordinator, plus designated outdoor spaces for intimate weddings with 15 people or fewer. Now that's how you do a courthouse wedding. 🥂

Happy Pride Day 🏳️‍🌈 On June 28, 1969, the revolutionary Stonewall Riots outside the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village triggered the LGBTQ movement as we today know it.

In light of recent rulings, may we continue the fight.

On June 28, 1895, the wedding announcement for Ida B. Wells appeared on the front page of The New York Times in a single paragraph at the bottom of the page.

Though small, its significance was extraordinary: Wells was a Black woman, born into slavery in 1862, three years before the end of the Civil War. But Wells led a remarkable—and often overlooked—life in the years following the war.

A journalist and pioneer of civil rights, she launched an anti-lynching crusade and co-founded the NAACP. In 1884, more than 70 years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a bus, Wells refused to give up her seat in a whites-only train car, and was dragged off and arrested.

In honor of Juneteenth, I’m sharing her extraordinary story on the blog. Read more about her legacy (and wedding) at the link in bio.

"I'm a French woman with an Italian heart. I document life and love."

I've been emailing with elopement photographer Peggy Picot since 2019, she from an idyllic lakeside town in eastern Italy, me from my roost in northern Virginia, sitting at a tiny desk in my loft, no book or website, just a prickle of an idea that she shelled out generous time and energy for as I poked around this world of eloping.

Peggy's been in this game since 2011. At the time, Instagram was barely a year old. Time is funny. So is the internet.

She's now one of the most trusted elopement photographers in Italy, guiding couples around the Amalfi Coast, or Rome, or Tuscany, her portfolio bursting with stacked pastel homes and beautiful ruins and golden hour countrysides. Just her, a couple, and romance at its richest. La dolce vita.

Recently I came across an old interview I did with Peggy in December 2019. Time had slipped away between then and now. As it turns out, the conversation aged well.

Catch the whole thing—plus more delicious photos—at the link in bio, where Peggy shares her top 3 places to elope in Italy, how she defines an elopement, and what she considers to be "the essence of eloping."

Thank you, Peggy, for your sheer kindness to a stranger an ocean away. Then and today.

Eloping is

a sighing sea.
gauzy streaks of air on a hot evening.
dew drops on china from the jungle's palms.
remembering how it started.

The most precious gift of eloping is the awesome suspension of time.

I think it's safe to say that 2022 is the year of the city hall elopement, and to that I say: It's about damn time.

There's no ceiling for my love for a courthouse ceremony, which is why I dedicated a whole chapter in "Your Wedding, Your Way" to pulling one off. It's chock full of ideas on:

1. What to wear, like this fabulous pantsuit captured in all its glory by AoE vendor and talented lady

2. How to have what I call a "Destination Courthouse Elopement," including the 5 most gorgeous courthouses in the U.S. 🏛

3. How to celebrate after: Go to brunch, order takeout for a picnic on some city steps, or hit up a dive bar for celebratory shots with the locals 🥃

Cheers to having
