Monique & Karl’s Windy Banff Elopement | A Blue Moon Love Story | Tanan Banff Elopements

On a windy October afternoon, surrounded by the stunning peaks of Banff National Park, Monique & Karl celebrated their love story in the most personal and meaningful way possible — an intimate Banff elopement with their siblings and cousin by their side. Traveling from Edmonton, they marked their 10th anniversary not with a grand spectacle, but with a ceremony that felt authentic, relaxed, and deeply “them.”

Their vision was simple yet beautiful: a relaxed, candid vibe, like a quiet moment from a romantic film. No overly staged poses, no dramatic lifts — just soft moments, gentle smiles, laughter, and the natural intimacy they share after almost a decade together.

💍 Their Story

Monique and Karl’s love story began through a mutual friend — her college classmate and his high school classmate. For years, they exchanged messages on and off, until a simple Christmas Eve greeting changed everything. That conversation never ended. A few months later, they finally met in person. Karl was late, lost, and stuck in traffic, but the night turned out magical.

It happened to be a Blue Moon, and while driving to dinner, they heard someone on the radio say, “Whoever you’re with during a Blue Moon is your soulmate.” That moment stuck with them forever.

✨ The Proposal & Wedding Choice

There was no formal proposal. Instead, their decision to marry came naturally — a shared understanding that after 10 years, this was the most meaningful way to celebrate their love. Karl still jokes that a proposal is on the way and that they’ll have another ceremony with close friends and family. For now, they chose Banff as the perfect setting for their personal celebration.

Instead of exchanging rings, they’re getting matching Blue Moon tattoos after the ceremony — a nod to the night their lives changed forever.

❤️ What They Love About Each Other

What Monique and Karl love most is how gentle they are with each other. In almost a decade, they’ve never had a big fight — only small disagreements that disappear within minutes. They’re both a little socially awkward, happiest in each other’s company. They’re not just partners, but best friends, and that quiet, easy comfort is the heart of their relationship.
