Let’s face it – weddings are great, but they’re not as full of just magic and rainbows as they seem on the surface. They require a TON of hard work, come with stress, and put a pretty deep dent in your wallet. This might come as a surprise, but there’s actually a pretty simple way to get all of the romance and happiness that a wedding comes with, without that hefty price tag. Yup, you guessed it – eloping! We think it’s safe to say that the words “they eloped” have managed to get a pretty bad rep over the years. But here’s photo proof that 2018 will finally change that reputation for good.
