Elopements
To Elope is ‘to run away and get married.’
However, in this modern world an elopement may serve many purposes and you may wish to run towards me to Officiate your marriage because: -
You may wish to have a destination wedding and to ensure that your marriage is legal,
you may choose to ‘get the legals done’ before you go.
Then you can celebrate in style on that tropical Island with your family and friends knowing with confidence that when you return home everything has been done according to the law in Australia.
Or possibly you just may not want all that fuss because you might just prefer an intimate romantic affair OR you may have had the big wedding previously and feel that it is not for you both again OR you may simply not like having all those faces & eyes looking at you when you say your intimate vows to each other. Whatever the reason, rest assured the legal process will be adhered to when I officiate your elopement style marriage.
Then after the Ceremony, you can go off to your favourite restaurant to celebrate in style with your family and friends knowing that you have done your day, your way!
