Choosing to elope gives you and your partner the freedom and flexibility to plan a wedding as unique as you are! You may often hear, “eloping means getting to do whatever you want!” and as that is absolutely true, it can also be overwhelming! So what does this even mean? Where do you even start while planning a day that reflects you as a couple?  I recommend sitting down together and writing out all of the activities you love to do together as a couple, what activities mean the most to you, and which ones are special.  However, if you are looking for ideas to get you started, you are in the right place!
