There are many reasons why couples choose to elope, from saving money on a big wedding ceremony to going on the adventure of a lifetime.
So you’re debating on having a wedding ceremony or eloping. While either decision is fine and up to the people getting married, eloping is becoming more popular among couples. After all, couples can decide on adventure elopement which consists of them combining the love of traveling and an epic wedding day. Here are five good reasons to elope.
Save money
The average wedding costs thousands of dollars. Through elopement, couples can save that money on an amazing honeymoon, or put the money away for a rainy day. Nonetheless, one of the top reasons couples decide to elope over having a big wedding ceremony is to save money.
Forget the stress that accompanies planning
Planning a wedding is stressful. Not only do you have to pick out an affordable venue, but you also have to do seating arrangements, test out cakes (OK, that part is pretty cool), make sure the wedding party is ready to go, and so much more. The happiest day of your life, and the days leading up to it, shouldn’t be filled with stress and anxiety.
Two words: Family issues
Everyone loves their family, but that doesn’t mean they’re always easy to navigate. When it comes to weddings, families tend to be judgemental, critiquing all your wedding decisions. Not to mention, there tends to be family drama and you have to figure out a way around it. Family issues alone are oftentimes reason enough to elope.
The variety
You still have a variety of options to choose from when it comes to eloping. You can invite your closest friends and family members or just share this special experience with you and the person you’re getting married to.
Turn your wedding into an adventure
One of the main reasons why couples decide to elope is so they can use the money that would have been spent on a wedding and instead spend it on an experience of a lifetime. With the money you save, you and your loved one can get married anywhere in the world.
There are an endless amount of reasons to elope, with the five above only being the beginning. Of course, the top reason to elope is because it’s what you and your loved one want to do.
