Secret to Share: We Got Engaged & Married 💍✨
Life has a funny way of surprising us, and sometimes, we surprise ourselves too! After years of creating memories in the most beautiful corners of the globe, we finally decided to take our love story to the next level. And here’s the twist… we didn’t just get secretly engaged, we also got secretly married! 💒❤️
Yes, you read that right! While we’ve shared so many of our adventures with you on Mr. and Mrs. Global, this was one chapter we kept just for ourselves, until now.
We’ve captured the whole story (from the proposal to the “I do’s”) in two special YouTube videos. If you want to feel like you’re right there with us, make sure to check them out below:
And because we know many of you dream about your own wedding day, we want to share some of the biggest lessons we learned from our unconventional journey. Whether you’re planning a big destination wedding or an intimate “just us” ceremony, here are our 5 tips for saying ‘I do’ your way.
Our 5 Tips to Getting Married Your Way
1. Forget the Rules It’s Your Story
You don’t have to follow traditions that don’t feel right for you. Whether it’s skipping the big wedding, eloping, or blending cultures, choose what feels authentic.
2. Keep It Intimate (if You Want To)
We found magic in the fact that it was just about us. Intimate ceremonies strip away the noise and let you focus on the love.
3. Capture the Memories
Even if you don’t have a huge wedding photographer team, make sure to capture the moments in your own way, video, photos, even journaling. You’ll treasure it forever.
4. Communicate Your Vision
Talk openly about what you both imagine, do you want adventure, romance, minimalism, or tradition? Creating a shared vision prevents stress later.
5. Celebrate Twice (or More!)
Just because you keep your wedding small or secret doesn’t mean you can’t throw a big celebration later with family and friends. You can have the best of both worlds!
💌 Sharing this moment with you now feels so special, because you’ve been part of our journey from the very beginning. Thank you for supporting us as we explore the world, and now as we step into married life together.
Here’s to love, adventure, and writing our own story.
With love,
Vanessa & Jay 💕
