(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.
