Elope Now and Party Later

The NYC Times published an article about a new trend in weddings: couples who elope, then celebrate with a reception-like party afterward.

New York Times Article: Elope Now, Party Later


The story reveals the pros and cons of eloping.  PRO : an elopement is quick and easy and generally costs less than a traditional wedding.  CON: You will also have to deal with family members who might feel cheated out of a celebration.

This “elope now, party later” idea is the perfect compromise. The couple gets the secluded ceremony they crave (or can afford), and they can host a more laid-back party or even let friends and family throw a get-together for them.

Would you consider eloping, then celebrating after the fact?

Do you have any friends who’ve gotten married this way?
