Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy — Brady and Ryne had always dreamed of traveling to Italy together, so planning a Cortina d’Ampezzo elopement in the Dolomites felt like the most meaningful way to begin their marriage. Instead of squeezing everything into one day, they chose a multi-day elopement so they could slow down, explore the mountains, and really take it all in.

Mountain Vows + Rainy Streets in Cortina d’Ampezzo

The first day started with a quiet morning at their charming hotel in Cortina d’Ampezzo. The peaks were right outside their window, and the whole morning felt calm and intentional. After getting ready, they headed into the Dolomites for a hike that led them to a peaceful alpine lake in a small nearby town. Surrounded by towering mountains and the most unreal aqua blue water, Brady and Ryne exchanged their vows in American Sign Language. Watching their hands move with the Dolomites behind them was incredibly powerful and full of emotion.

On the second day, rain rolled in, but it didn’t slow them down at all. They explored downtown Cortina d’Ampezzo, wandering through cobblestone streets and soaking in the charm of the town. They were especially excited when they discovered a historic library and spent time looking through books and admiring the history around them.

Their elopement was adventurous and full of what makes their relationship special. From quiet mountain lakes to rainy Italian streets, every part of the experience reflected who they are and how they move through the world together.
