Thinking of a Quiet Elopement? Here Are 10 Quiet Places to Elope
2020 has been a tough year for us all, especially couples who had planned a dream wedding. With the restrictions brought in mind the COVID-19 pandemic, many couples have been faced with a difficult decision. Should they cancel their wedding until such times as life returns to normal? Or is it a better idea to rebook something smaller inline with current Coronavirus restrictions. Many couples are reluctant to wait it out since we don’t know exactly when or even if weddings will return to what they once were.
