Along with their red bracelets, we noticed Holly and Jacob also had matching rings, aside from their wedding rings. We asked them what the significance of those rings were. Here is what Holly wrote: “Our first Christmas in the US, Jake made me a ring out of a quarter to match the one that he wears. Actually, when I first met him (when I was 17), I thought he was already married because he was wearing that ring on his ring finger.” And as it turned out, he wasn’t married at the time. But these handmade rings were a significant piece of their story, and it was important to wear at their forest elopement.
The elopement itself was magical. The morning was relaxed, and Jacob and Holly enjoyed their day getting ready together. As they finished putting on their wedding outfits, we drove over to their elopement location. As Holly writes, “Our ceremony location was important to us because I grew up in Carp, not far from Ottawa. It was important to us to have a location that is naturally beautiful. I believe this spot represented us and our relationship perfectly.”
