“We decided to elope,” Ludwig continued. “It has been such a crazy year but it certainly put things into perspective. Life is too short And I didn’t want to spend another day without calling this beautiful woman my wife. Of course when things settle down we will have a proper celebration with our friends and family but for now- the love of my life, our dog yam, a yurt on a mountain top in the middle of nowhere sounded like the perfect beginning.”
