Love / Elopements
Go your own way
The traditional definition of an elopement was when a couple ran off secretly to get married. To that I say, why mess with tradition?
Some of the most magical weddings I have officiated have been elopements, and for reasons so delightful I am listing them here for you.
A special, intimate location that takes some work to get to, be it deep in the bush, the highest point on an island, a remote beach or a glow-worm cave
A belief that your vows are private and sacred, and for your ears only (legally you must have two witnesses)
Myriad cost saving reasons including venue hire, bridal party, catering, flowers, photography
And lastly,
FOFF Fear of Family Feud. It's true! Some couples have insisted that since their families could not agree on party protocol, there wouldn't be one
Run away and get married? I applaud you.
