Why wait to get married?
Have your elopement or micro wedding much sooner than you first thought.
We totally understand that planning a wedding can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when traditional ceremonies can be complicated (and expensive). Enter elopements and micro weddings – the perfect alternatives for couples looking to marry in a more intimate, stress-free way. But many couples get caught up in the idea of "waiting for the right time," which, let’s be honest, can feel like a never-ending cycle of making choices that really aren’t what you want. If you’re on the fence about whether to elope or plan a smaller wedding, here are five compelling reasons to take the plunge sooner rather than later.
1. Life Is Unpredictable – Why Wait?
We all know that life is full of surprises, look at what happened to the world in 2020! Whether it's career changes, relocations, or just unexpected challenges, waiting for the "perfect" moment to get married can leave you in limbo. Getting married sooner rather than later allows you to move forward in life together as a couple which is ultimately what you want anyway. You'll have the support and commitment of your partner when things get unpredictable, and it gives you a sense of stability in the face of uncertainty. Plus, who knows what life will throw at you next – waiting could mean missing out on the opportunity to enjoy your wedding day exactly as you want it.
2. Less Stress, More Enjoyment
Wedding planning can be a huge source of stress (which is why we help with this part), especially when you’re trying to please everyone and live up to some traditional wedding expectations. Elopements and micro weddings are designed to be more relaxed and focused on the two of you. No need for extravagant guest lists, or coordinating a massive event. Instead, you can focus on what truly matters: your vows, your love, and the amazing experience of marrying your bestie. Micro weddings include macro moments, meaning the smaller the day the bigger the feels too!
3. You Can Save Money – And Spend It How You Want
One of the biggest advantages of choosing an elopement or micro wedding is the potential to put money toward the things you really want. Want to splurge on an incredible honeymoon? Or invest in your first home or renovations. Is Europe calling? Eloping allows you to prioritize what’s important to you without being bogged down by the pressure to spend on unnecessary details. Plus, your wedding day is about you and your partner – not about keeping up with wedding traditions or expectations. Here is your permission to jump in and do what you both want sooner rather than later.
4. You don’t need 12-18 months (really)
It’s hard when you’re reading the blogs and mags and they are telling you you need at least 12 months to plan your day. The fact is you absolutely can get married in 5 weeks if you want to.

5. You Can Focus on What Matters Most: Each Other
One of the main reasons people decide to elope is the desire to keep the focus on their relationship rather than on the spectacle of the wedding day. When you choose to marry sooner and keep things small, you can be more present in the moment. Instead of worrying about everyone else you can simply enjoy each other’s company and soak it all in. Elopements and micro weddings allow you to skip the stress and unnecessary distractions, giving you both a more meaningful, heartfelt experience. After all, your wedding is about the two of you starting your journey together.
