Maybe a large traditional wedding is not your thing. You prefer a nice small ceremony to celebrate you and your fiance getting married in a much smaller way than a typical traditional wedding. Elopement ceremonies can involve just the couple or a small number of guests usually less than 10, sometimes up to 20. Elopement ceremonies tend to be more heartfelt, with personal vows and other deeply symbolic moments. Couples often want to get married without being the center of attention in a big event but in a more meaningful, intimate way. Elopement ceremonies can happen anywhere, most of them happen in the great outdoors, usually somewhere very beautiful.
