The InterContinental Da Nang: An Elopement Wedding Film + Photos

Chris and Brooke’s elopement wedding video. Danang, Vietnam. July 2019.

My nth elopement wedding.
But my first ever outside the Philippines, just comfortably nearby though, in neighboring Vietnam¹ ²
— officially my first elopement in mainland Southeast Asia.

n. where { n | n ≥ 15? 20? } I don't know. I stopped counting.
There. n.
Where n stands for n-e-thing but “n-umbing” or "n-ot again" or "n-ext...".

I just love how my “elopees”, despite them having similar reasons for taking the off the beaten path to matrimony, still allow their relational-emotional nuances as a couple to take centerstage. Everything else takes on a supporting role. I’ll let Chris & Brooke’s wedding film speak for itself. Enjoy!
