An elopement in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland, offers a breathtaking backdrop of majestic mountains, cascading waterfalls, and lush green valleys (you can also look at Wengen in the same region if you like this kind of landscape).<\/p>\n

This is where Melanie and Kelly chose to intimately tie the knot, in a deeply meaningful and symbolic ceremony. It was just the two of them, enveloped by the breathtaking scenery of the Swiss Alps, with the iconic Staubbach Falls as their backdrop..<\/p>\n

They chose to commit to each other amidst a field in this charming village. And it was very, very touching.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur love is something that is almost unbelievable\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

Melanie and Kelly met first on a trip to Hawaii with a bunch of mutual friends. They instantly became friends and fell in love with each other over the next year. “Our connection is undeniable. We have so much fun together”, they said.<\/p>\n

When Kelly was in Hawaii they hung out the whole week. “I just got to know her more and when she wasn\u2019t around me I found myself looking for her or wondering what she was doing. We got back home and still we would hang out at parties she was just on my mind all the time. She was so beautiful I wanted to be around her all the time”, he expressed.<\/p>\n

\"celebrant<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Their love blossomed rapidly.<\/p>\n

Melanie said : “Kelly is so easy going and fun. I fell in love with him because of our deep connection. I couldn\u2019t imagine life without him once we began dating. He is the person I want to share every experience with.”<\/p>\n

Kelly made the proposal. Christmas Eve, they were alone and decided to get a hotel downtown for the evening. They were going to dinner and Melanie was getting ready in the room. She couldn\u2019t decide which dress to wear so she kept trying them on and showing Kelly. “I went to turn around to show him my third option and he said which would go best with this. When I turned around he was on his knee with a beautiful ring”, says the bride.<\/p>\n
