When I was forty, I decided it was time to get married. In fact, I have had a serious relationship for 18 years, and my 40th birthday is also good. However, having a traditional white wedding dress and a million relatives doesn't seem like the stage in my life. So, we decided to run away.
Elopement is the tradition of my family. My grandfather ran away in the 1930s and took his brother as a witness to Niagara Falls. I have fewer people; I, my fiance and the sheriff, and his secretary, he gave us a traditional wedding vow to sweetly on a beautiful piece of paper.
Is it elopement? What are the benefits of elopement than traditional weddings? If you decide to run away, what would you miss?
If the following conditions are right for your life, please consider elopement:
1] You are an "elderly" bride, a large ceremony will not appeal to you. Or, this is not your first marriage.
2] You and your husband don't want to hold religious ceremonies.
3] Your husband and you have different religions. You can agree without a single ceremony.
4] Your parents do not agree with your marriage. You are not a "traditional" relationship.
5] A more creative ceremony makes you feel happy. I know those friends who are married on a hot air balloon, high in the mountains. Another friend got married on a river boat on the Mississippi River. Don't limit yourself to Las Vegas; when you decide to run away, there are many options. According to the laws of your state, all you need is peace justice, maybe one or two witnesses.
As far as I am concerned, all we have to do is fill out the paperwork at the local city hall and then arrange a peace judge. I can let the city sheriff do this. In the fall, we got married in the sheriff's office, roses were blooming in the vase near the window, and a series of prisoners passed by. How romantic! In fact, it is very touching. The sheriff took his work seriously and we did it. The other option I live in is to hold a ceremony at the chapel of the hospital where I work, even on a fishing trip!
Elopement is not for you if:
1] You really want the entire dream wedding to be completed with a flowing veil, a white wedding dress and a cute flower girl. You want to be the princess of the day.
2] You have been collecting "Bride" magazines for the past ten years.
3] If you are not involved in the party and ceremony, your family will be heartbroken.
4] Religious rituals are important to you.
It depends on what kind of wedding you and your future spouse are for both of you. Elopement may be a choice and an interesting choice!
