What is the difference between eloping and a traditional wedding ceremony?
Before we talk about all of the benefits of an elopement wedding, let’s actually define what eloping even means. Eloping is traditionally defined as a sort of runaway wedding done quickly and in secret with usually only the couple (and their witnesses – depending on the state you get married in) present. These days, however, eloping really just means an intimate, small scale, more casual wedding with few or zero guests in attendance. For weddings in Oregon and Washington you’ll need at least two witnesses, plus your officiant, so you’ll have at least three people present for your ceremony.
If you’re looking for a small wedding or an intimate ceremony, eloping might be for you! You will benefit in a multitude of ways by choosing an elopement ceremony, but here are a few we think are reasons why you should elope:
· You Can Save Thousands of Dollars!
· The Day is Far More Intimate.
· Your Choice for Locations is Endless.
· You'll Be Relieved of Many Stress-Inducing Factors.
· Planning for the Big Day is Far Simpler.
· You Are Not Confined by Time Constraints from Venues or Vendors.
· You get to have the wedding experience you want. With an intimate wedding you can choose to splurge on the things that matter to you and not worry about compromising to accommodate all of your guests.
· Focus on your marriage instead of the wedding.
