What’s more romantic than a couple staying true to themselves? That’s exactly what Genesis and James did when they planned their Sliabh Liag elopement<\/strong> in Donegal, Ireland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Together with a pair of witnesses, they headed to the rugged coastline to exchange their vows. The windy weather and blue skies made for the most spectacular photos too. Oh my<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I love their outfit choices, the trip to the pub with impromptu live music and that the following day they headed off to get matching tattoos. From their Disney proposal to the love lock and ice cream, you’ll be sure to adore their special day.<\/p>\n

Thanks ever so much to Wild and Green Photography<\/a> for sharing with us these sensational captures of Genesis and James’ incredible celebration.<\/p>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

During our first trip to Disney World in Florida<\/strong> (my 1st time ever but not his), May 14th, 2022 – I was running around the park excited about my dream of going there being fulfilled.<\/p>\n

JD booked that trip and told me it was my birthday present. I was so eager to take photos at Cinderella\u2019s castle before the crowd rushed in, but he delayed and said we should go on a couple of rides together.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, we walked toward the castle, where I was surprised to see his brother and brother\u2019s wife. I thought that a sibling trip to Disney was a surprise. Right then, he got down on one knee and proposed to me in front of Cinderella\u2019s castle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I did not see any of it coming, so much so that I was wearing a hilarious goofy hat that he asked me to take off before proposing. Best day ever! We went on to go on rides, enjoy the day, and ordered fairytale champagne at one of the restaurants. I was also given a wedding pin by the concierge.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

A small getaway wedding<\/strong> with just us and two friends as witnesses that we met while living in Seoul who are from Tramore, Waterford in Ireland.<\/p>\n

Exploring a new place together, what we do best, for a week; followed by a small ceremony with the focus only on each other. And, honestly, an excuse to travel and an excuse to keep it small – for ease of planning and again keeping it intimate.<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

Our photographer worked with us to help create our perfect day – Shauna gave us a range of options based on a questionnaire she had us fill out.<\/p>\n

We chose Sliabh Liag<\/strong> as it was stunningly picturesque and heavy on the natural beauty. We were blown away and the small-town feel of Donegal<\/strong> appealed to us. <\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

We went for something simple, classic<\/strong>, and that we felt comfortable in! We went for custom elements that were reflected in my lock necklace with our initials and the groom\u2019s custom cufflinks that had our wedding date and a clover.<\/p>\n

The Ceremony & Music<\/h3>\n

We opted for songs from our favorite Rom-Com, About Time. We loved the wedding scene from the film and wanted to incorporate music from the soundtrack.<\/p>\n
