What Does "Elopement" Mean?
Elopement is a trendy way to get married these days. It's simple, independent, and still has a strong sense of ceremony that attracts many young people. Unlike a traditional wedding with all its complexities, you don't need to book a church or a fancy venue. You can skip traditional ceremonies like tea ceremonies or receptions, and you don't need a big entourage of family and friends—not even your parents! The couple can plan everything themselves, choosing which elements of the traditional wedding to keep or discard. Of course, they still need to handle the legal aspects of getting married, like signing papers.✍🏻
The charm of elopement is that you get to choose where you want to have the wedding, making it all about you.👰🤵♂️ It feels like escaping from the judgmental eyes of society to a place where you can have a truly touching and unforgettable ceremony.
