Why should I elope?

Here are some of the big reasons why couples decide to elope...

1. To have an affordable wedding
2. To save time
3. To save your sanity
4. To have fun
5. To have freedom from the "norm"

Here are some of the reasons we're eloping...

1. My family is crazy
2. His family is huge
3. To save money
4. To do it our way

These days eloping isn't nearly as taboo, it's not just about running off to vegas on a whim. Sure, that's still an option, but the options are endless. It's more common now for eloping to become more like a small wedding, involving a couple of friends or family members and often they take place at unique destinations.

When planning an elopement, just like with any other wedding you must first know what the marriage license rules and regulations are in your state/country or the state/country you plan to get married in. It's important not to leave this detail to the last minute, as some states/countries require mountains of paper work, blood work, waiting periods or any other likely red tape.
