You may have heard this word quite a lot as eloping has become more and more common with time.
The Definition
Eloping is, by definition, running away and getting married without telling anyone, especially the parents and families but it’s not really what it is about nowadays. Many couples actually decide to make their families and close friends part of their elopement and simply decide to celebrate their love in a different manner.
What does eloping mean?
Today, eloping has become an epic way for couples to celebrate their love! Many couples decide to make a trip out of it and get married in an incredible location that means something to them or was on their bucket list. They often include their friends and families and plan out the day just as thoughtfully as they would with a wedding.
