What about Eloping?

(ARA) - There's always a feeling of romantic rebellion when eloping is mentioned. It can be a good way to save money, but you should keep in mind the pro's and con's of eloping.

Although it might be a good idea at the time, will you regret not having a wedding in the years to come? You might want to keep in mind a few of the things below:

PROS

It's cheaper
Eloping is significantly cheaper than the traditional wedding. Would you rather spend money on the reception hall rental, or on plane tickets to the Caribbean?

It's simpler
You don't have to spend a year on wedding planning

Duration
Of course, there is the cost of the rings and the honeymoon, but these last beyond the few hours that the average wedding ceremony and reception go for. 

The Style
You can marry whenever and wherever you like

It's fast
If a fast wedding is what you are looking for, eloping might be the way to go.

CONS

It only happens once. 
Your wedding day will be one you will remember for the rest of your life. 

Regret
Will you look back on it and regret not having your friends and family there with you to share this special day?

Memories
Although eloping might be a good idea, will you miss not having the memories of a wedding day in the years to come? 

Friends and family
There will be disappointment among family and friends when they’ve learned you eloped. Your parents will almost certainly regret never being there when you get married. If your parents’ wishes are a concern, you may want to think twice before eloping.
