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.
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?
