A Long Island Wedding with an Elopement Style Vow Exchange

A lesson in how to have your cake and eat it too

Hailey and Thomas had a problem. They really wanted to elope, but their families really wanted them to throw a big wedding out on Long Island, where they’re both from. So, they ended up throwing a big wedding at Long Island’s Bellport Country Club and having over a hundred guests witnessing them say I do. But, in order to keep the intimate and wild feeling of an elopement, they hired a vintage car to drive them into town so they could share vows outside a coffee shop, and cross a crosswalk and experience the Pinterest elopement moments that Hailey had been pinning ever since they got engaged.
