| ADVICE & PLANNING
Savvy, independent couples elope to do something different, to create the wedding they want without any compromises, and to put their relationship ahead of a commercialized tradition. Today's elopements are no longer taboo affairs, they are happy surprises. Eloping is the wedding day as it was before the advent of bridezilla, the 250 person guest list, and the bar bill. A wedding is a day, but a marriage is forever.
And while elopements have traditionally been an exclusive affair, they don't have to be. Just because you elope does not mean that family members or friends can't be with you. You can still have your father walk you down the aisle or your best friend witness your ceremony. The best part of eloping is that there are no rules!
So be proud in your decision to elope. And everything that it means. Be comforted in the knowledge that your first steps in wedded bliss can be putting the down payment on a house, or an indulgent trip of a lifetime, not paying off the $28,800 the average wedding costs today. Your decision to elope is outside of the norm, congratulations and welcome to the elopement community.
Tip of the Month:
Is your family feeling a little blue about missing the magical moment of your ceremony? Consider hiring a videographer to record your ceremony. Then you can surprise your family with a special gift or play it during a post elopement party.
