R E A L W E D D I N G . Deena and Aaron had a New Orleans trip planned to celebrate 18 years of being together. "We’d gotten engaged the year before (after many, many years of wondering whether we would ever get officially married) and had picked a date to celebrate with family and friends in LA. But about a month before the trip, I brought up eloping to Aaron. I half expected him to think it was absurd, since we’d already planned for the bigger celebration. But he didn’t. We’re both pretty intense introverts, and we quickly fell in love with the idea of standing in this stunning old chapel, just the two of us, exchanging vows that encompassed the last 18 years we’d spent together."
