Our Elopement: Elizabeth & Casey

On January 23rd, Elizabeth Elaine Joyce and Casey Peter Whorton exchanged vows, embracing New York City's energy and elegance in the most intimate way. Two years earlier, Casey had proposed in Central Park just before they toasted their engagement at The Nutcracker ballet. Now, they were back—just as in love, just as enchanted, but this time, with wedding rings and a spontaneous plan only they knew about.

Their elopement began at The Bowery Hotel, a place of old-world romance and a beacon of vintage allure. Elizabeth’s nod to tradition was embodied in her mother’s wedding heirloom—a sumptuous vintage fox fur hat—that added timeless glamour as she stepped into the city’s winter chill. Casey, in his New York Yankees cap, paid a subtle homage to the place where they would forever leave their mark.

With a quiet excitement, they strolled to a nearby flower shop to hand select flowers for a bouquet. From there, they took the subway to City Hall, blending seamlessly into the city's pulse as they made their way to exchange vows in a place steeped in history and love stories.

With their "I do's" sealed in the heart of Manhattan, they spent the rest of the day weaving through the city's streets, soaking in every unscripted moment. Their elopement felt like the city itself—timeless, spontaneous, and undeniably New York.
