Is it worth it to skip the big wedding-or celebrate your marriage again?
Honestly, the answer depends on who you’re asking.
Elopements are typically chosen by couples who:
○ value experiences over a large guest list
○ want to travel for their wedding
○ don’t want a traditional wedding experience
○ want less pressure or stress related to getting married
○ want an intimate and meaningful experience
Vow renewals are typically chosen by couples who:
○ didn’t get the wedding they initially desired
○ have experienced a difficult season in their relationship and want to renew their commitment to each other
○ were rushed into marriage
○ want to celebrate an anniversary by sharing new vows together
○ didn’t get the photos they wanted of their original wedding
Both elopements and vow renewals are more flexible and customizable than traditional options. They are perfect for those wanting to slow down and celebrate their love in a personal way, either alone or with a few close loved ones. Your love story is just that-YOURS. I am a firm believer that celebrating love and commitment should be focused on the couple.
To couples considering either of these options: It’s your love, your celebration, and your choice.
