More and more couples want something super personal and intimate. Wedding costs are forever on the rise and not everyone dreams of the massive wedding or the costs associated with it. The average engagement is 14 months! With elopements or mini-weddings, you can plan an intimate adventure in less time.
So why elope?
1) Making it personal. Every big wedding can be personal, but sometimes it comes down to what’s available and appeasing everyone. Instead with an elopement, what seems the most important to you as a couple to have for your wedding? Adventurous on the side of a cliff? Themed? Include the furbabies? You can do any of it and worry a bit less about a large guest count.
2) Save the money for the honeymoon. A lot of couples are wanting to save the money for a full wedding and spend it on the honeymoon, a house down payment or just adventures together.
3) Short engagement. Fiancé in the military? Hate waiting? Elopements can be planned in as little as a week!
