Elopement: The Easy Way To Wed
by Ella Hemmings
Let's face it. Weddings are expensive and stressful to plan, so these days some couples are simply opting to elope rather than expend time, energy and money on a lavish wedding. In addition, this option is attractive to many couples who already have been married. Of course, sometimes there are family-related issues that you don't want to have to deal with on your special day so you decide to enjoy a private and intimate ceremony. No matter why you choose to elope, here are some suggestions that will help make your day perfect.
As with just about any type of wedding, the first decisions you make include when to get married and where. When it comes to elopements, this is a fairly simple process, but you do need to know about the marriage license laws and requirements where you intend to be married. Many states have no waiting period between filling out a marriage license and getting hitched, but some do, so it is wise to do a little research about the local laws.
No matter where you wed, there is a fee for the marriage license, and you also will have to pay a fee to the officiant, even if you marry in a courthouse. The costs range depending on where you get married and who marries you, but it generally isn't a huge expense and often you can be married for less than $100. In addition to the fees, you also will need to have two witnesses. You can bring your own witnesses or you can inquire if witnesses are available at the location where the ceremony takes place. Courthouse office staff can sometimes serve as witnesses, and at wedding chapels, there usually are people available to serve as witnesses.
One cool thing about elopements is that they cost less, so you might be able to afford getting married someplace other than your hometown. For instance, a Vegas wedding is certainly an option and they make it very easy for couples to tie the knot. But truly you can be married almost anywhere as long as the legal requirements for your marriage are met. While it can be pricey to pay for airplane tickets and hotel rooms, it still can be far less pricey than paying for wedding clothes, wedding cakes, a reception and the millions of other expenses included in a full-scale wedding. If you pick a favorite destination, you can even honeymoon right there, which is yet another advantage.
One excellent location for an elopement is Hawaii, especially the island of Maui. This island is already popular for honeymooners, so it just makes sense to elope and honeymoon in this romantic tropical location. In fact, there are some companies that specialize in planning Maui elopements and can help you with all of the details, from finding a perfect location to obtaining the services of an officiant or minister to helping you plan for a floral bouquet and photography.
One Maui wedding planning firm offers a variety of packages that are particularly suitable for couples who wish to elope. One example is the inexpensive "Simply in Love" option that includes an intimate wedding on a Maui beach for less than $600. In addition to securing your special beach site, the wedding planners will obtain the services of a minister or officiate, help you secure a license and have beautiful flower leis prepared for the ceremony as well as providing a copy of your vows and a keepsake wedding certificate.
The "So This Is Love," package, which runs about $1,250, is another great option for an elopement or intimate wedding. In addition to the leis and keepsakes from the "Simply in Love" package, this package includes a bridal bouquet, a groom boutonniere, engraved champagne flutes, a professional photographer and 30 4x6 wedding prints. In addition to these two packages, the staff can help you arrange transportation and lodging, as well as helping you plan excursions during your stay on Maui.
