In the movies, you will often see a scene where a couple are running away to spend their lives together. Then they eventually let their families know about what they have done This is an elopement. With many of us being “romantics at heart”, it’s easy to love the idea of being so much in love that you secretively go off together to get married. That’s the movies for you. Yet in the real world, it’s quite different. Being crazy and spontaneous is great, but when it comes to eloping you still have to plan ahead. Now this is where I can help you!
Wedding planning can drive couples crazy especially when it seems that you are trying to please everybody else except yourselves. So if you can’t be bothered with all the hassles and the time it takes, then why not consider eloping? Queensland is an ideal destination for an elopement. There are stunning locations all along the coast and plenty of accommodation to book that will suit your budget. And don’t forget that there are lots of restaurants to choose from. What a perfect way to share your first meal together as husband and wife. So here you go! The money you haven’t had to spend on venues, flowers, photographers and bridal cars can be well spent on a lovely honeymoon.
Of course, you can still invite your parents, brothers and sisters, or a couple of close friends. But they must know how to keep a secret! As for my role, I’ll look at potential locations for you here on the Gold Coast. I can also send photos of what I find by either email or text message. The necessary legal paperwork will be taken care of and I will happily travel anywhere in the state to be a part of your day. So now what do you think of the idea of a romantic elopement?
Happy Planning,
Peter Blades – Gold Coast Marriage Celebrant
