Let's run away together.AWOL
What is an Elopement? An elopement simply means to get married with just a very limited number of guests but if you look at the old, traditional meaning of elopement it is -to run away secretly without the family knowing and getting married! The modern-day definition is changing. Couples are looking for something simpler but equally as meaningful as a larger wedding.
Why Elope? There are so many reasons couples choose to elope- For some couples, they want to avoid the stress of spending 12 months planning a wedding, for others “weddings” are just not for them.
