Facts on Elopements

Every year couples opt out of the traditional wedding and elope. Reasons for eloping include lower wedding costs, less stress and wanting to marry sooner than later.

  1. Geography

    • The top places to elope in the United States include Las Vegas, Hawaii, Florida, Niagara Falls, NY and California.

    Considerations

    • One of the most important things is to make sure both parties actually want to elope.

    Misconceptions

    • Many people think that elopements have to only involve the couple and a minister, but that's not the case. You can invite as many or as few people as you wish.

    Fun Fact

    • In 2005, a Nepalese couple exchanged wedding vows on top of Mount Everest, becoming the first couple to marry there.

    Famous Ties
