Why you should Elope?

Alright, so let's talk about why eloping might be the perfect fit for you. If you are here it is probably because you are considering eloping. A lot of couples, myself included, opt for eloping because the whole big wedding thing just doesn't do it for them. I mean, when I got engaged, we started planning our wedding and there were many things about a traditional wedding that didn’t excite us. 

For folks like us, the thought of being the center of attention or dealing with a massive guest list is a bit overwhelming. Planning a big wedding involves a ton of stuff – venues, catering, invitations, you name it – and it can be majorly stressful.

Elopements, on the other hand, are all about simplicity and meaning. Sure, there's still some planning involved, but it's focused on the things that really matter to you. Like picking the perfect spot for your ceremony – maybe it's a serene mountain vista or a secluded beach. 

And let's not forget the intimacy factor. Elopements are all about you and your partner, sharing a special moment together without any distractions. Like saying your vows in private just you and him/her. You can also include things that make you really happy, if you have a love for the outdoors or you have a special activity that you like to do together, that can be part of your elopement day.  

So, if you're vibing with this whole elopement thing, I've got ten solid reasons why you should consider eloping. 

10 Reasons to Elope this 2024
