Madison and Robert were married on the cliffs of Rosario, just a few minutes away from Deception Pass Bridge.

Read MoreI'm pretty sure the only times there weren't ear-to-ear smiles across everyone's faces at this intimate Whidbey Island elopement was when there were emotional tears of happiness being shed.
