HOW TO ELOPE
SO YOU'RE THINKING OF ELOPING BUT NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
GOOD THING YOU FOUND ME! I LOVE PLANNING RAD ELOPEMENT ADVENTURES FOR MY COUPLES
COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT ELOPING
1. ELOPING ISN'T AS SPECIAL AS A "TRADITIONAL WEDDING"
FALSE! ELOPING IS JUST AS SPECIAL, IF NOT MORE SPECIAL THAN A TRADITIONAL WEDDING! BY MAKING THE CHOICE TO ELOPE YOUR CHOOSING TO CREATE A DAY THAT’S TRUE TO YOU BOTH RATHER THAN HAVE A BIG COOKIE-CUTTER WEDDING.
2. ELOPING MEANS "RUNNING AWAY TO GET MARRIED."
FALSE! IN THIS DAY AND AGE THE DEFINITION OF ELOPING HAS CHANGES SIGNIFICANTLY AND NOW IS CONSIDERED TO BE A NON-TRADITIONAL, INTIMATE + INTENTIONAL WAY OF GETTING MARRIED.
3. ELOPEMENTS ARE SUPER QUICK 1-2 HOUR DAYS.
FALSE! ADVENTURE WEDDINGS CAN (AND SHOULD BE) AN ALL DAY EXPERIENCE AND CAN EVEN BE MULTIPLE DAYS. WHEN YOU HAVE AN ELOPEMENT YOU'RE CREATING A "DREAM EXPERIENCE".
4. YOU HAVE TO BE AN EXPERIENCED HIKER TO ACCESS ADVENTUROUS LOCATIONS
FALSE! THERE ARE SOOO MANY EASY HIKES AND LOCATIONS IN VERMONT AND ACROSS THE US THAT ARE SUPER ACCESSIBLE. THINK ABOUT YOUR COMFORT LEVEL WHEN PLANNING YOUR ELOPEMENT, WHAT FEELS BEST FOR YOU? I WILL ALSO HELP YOU FIND THE PERFECT LOCATION WITH LOCATIONS SCOUTING!
