LOW KEY WEDDINGS
To elope: the act of two lovers running away from family and society to get married in secrecy, usually without the knowledge of one's parents and family.
That's one definition I found for the term elopement, and to be honest, I think it's one of the best ways for couples to get hitched, for one simple reason: It gives you freedom. The freedom to throw antiquated traditions overboard. The freedom to follow your heart instead of somebody else's expectations. The freedom to say 'yes' to your significant other without society watching and judging. The freedom to go on an adventure with your favourite person.
Sounds good?

This is a cross between an elopement and a big traditional wedding either because of COVID or because you just don't like many people. These 50 or fewer-person weddings still include elements of bigger weddings like a band, bridesmaids, photographer, etc.
