My husband and I eloped but are planning our formal wedding in Spring 2023 - this was the right choice for us for many reasons that I don’t need to detail haha. Anyway, we just found a great deal for our dream honeymoon, but the catch is that the trip would be this fall.

Would it be insane for us to do our honeymoon before our formal wedding but after our elopement? We would still do something smaller after the wedding next year!
