Below I'm going to share 50 ideas to do during your elopement. Elopements are such a great way for couples to stay connected on their wedding day and have a "just us" experience. You might be thinking well, Rae an elopement is only like 1-2 hours long? Wrong. I'm here to tell you that elopements are JUST AS IMPORTANT AS A TRADITIONAL WEDDING!
