Couple Elopes with Kids in Intimate Detroit Wedding

On August 5th, 2025, an MTV reality TV couple quietly exchanged vows in an intimate elopement ceremony in Detroit. The couple, who have been engaged for over 3 years, decided to forgo a large, elaborate wedding in favor of a simple and stress-free celebration with just their two young children in attendance.

The bride and groom, who met on the set of The Challenge: Vendettas in 2017, kept their wedding plans a secret from friends and family, desiring a private moment to start their new chapter as a married couple. They opted to stay close to home in Michigan, rather than traveling to their initial plan of Chicago, to make the logistics easier with their 3-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter.

Despite their low-key approach, the couple ensured their loved ones could still be a part of the special day. They hired a photographer and videographer to capture the ceremony and reception, allowing their family and friends to "share in the moment from afar." The couple also incorporated personal touches, like the groom and son wearing Jordan 1 sneakers instead of dress shoes.

Now, the newlyweds are looking forward to their honeymoon and continuing to build their family. As the bride expressed, their elopement was "real, fun, loving, perfect... and very us," marking the start of the next chapter in their lives.
