Erin and Daniel chose to have just two witnesses and an officiant at their chic elopement in Vancouver. Their venue, the Roundhouse Community Centre, is intended for large weddings, so it ended up feeling very grand with only a few.

Erin and Daniel are both engineers, so they featured an antique multimeter and their toy robot.
