Alice and Eszter’s laid back, rustic elopement took place at the gorgeous Kirkstall Abbey in the UK and utilized blue and ivory colors. The couple’s pooch, Hazel, also got to take part in the festivities.
Eszter proposed to Alice in front of a waterfall on the couple’s 1-year anniversary, though she knew she wanted to marry Alice after only a few months.
