NYC Elopement at The New York Public Library & Arlo Midtown
Elopement at the New York Public Library
“Hi, my name is Marissa! My fiancé and I are high school sweethearts who live in Massachusetts and have been engaged for a year. We love traveling to New York and have been many times, so we would love to elope there! My fiancé is currently in the fire department academy which ends beginning of July, so we are thinking of eloping right after he finishes.”
