Getting married in a lavish wedding ceremony is a dream come true for many, especially for women. So, why elope? Eloping has become an attractive option for many couples. Not limited anymore to parental objection, couples elope for various reasons. In fact, these reasons are even considered an advantage over traditional wedding arrangements.
- Financial issue
- This is one of the most common reasons to elope. Probably seeing how others have buried themselves in debt for spending on a lavish wedding, many couples would prefer to elope than spend all their money on a wedding ceremony and reception.
- Romance and excitement
- The thrill of eloping is an attractive prospect for many couples. There seems to be a sense of romance and adventure in taking off with your fiancee to a far away place and leaving everything behind. Sounds like a scene from romantic movies and novels, isn’t it?
- Time constraint
- Another reason why couples elope is there’s not enough time for a full celebration. This could happen when the fiance is about to go on a military deployment or leaving the country in a couple of days.
- Less stress
- Eloping is virtually stress-free compared to a traditional wedding. There’s little or no planning involve at all. All you have to plan about is the destination.
- Privacy
- There are couples who prefer to spend their most special moment together, without entertaining guests. They feel that the best way to celebrate their marriage is through an intimate getaway.

We live in Ohio and are planning to get married in Jan. or Feb… We need a place that we can get married at and then enjoy a little. Either a place in Ohio that is nice in the winter… or a place that is warm and sunny but not too expensive to get to or stay at for a few days because we are on a budget…
We are looking for something very beautiful and romantic but secluded. Anyone from or familiar with the city know of such a spot? It could be outside the city just a ways too.
My fiance and I have recently decided to forget about a huge ceremony right now, and to go away in March. We are from Springfield, MO. But, I read that there is a waiting period in Missouri, and you need to apply for a liscense a month in advance. So, we were planning on going to Eureka Springs, Arkansas to get married. Can we just get in the car and go, or what do we need to do first?
