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.
