Elopement, once called in Sicily 'A Fuitina', is an ancient ceremony that has come back into fashion in recent years. In the past, young people experiencing a forbidden love hindered by their families would run away to marry in secret and make their union official.
The modern term comes from the English verb 'to elope' meaning 'to run away without looking back'.
Elopement is in fact a romantic getaway in which two lovers marry in the presence of a small circle of friends or family. Many couples choose this type of wedding because they want an intimate and cosy atmosphere to celebrate their love.
Happiness cannot be attained, possessed, earned, worn or consumed. It is spiritual.
An elopement, therefore, but far from being disorganised. On the contrary, the Elopement Wedding involves the organisation of every last detail, also by virtue of the fact that it is often celebrated in open-air locations such as beacheswoods, gardens or other.
Since this is a wedding with the bride and groom and a few guests, the location plays an even more decisive role than usual.
It is important, therefore, to choose a location that tells a story, that of the couple, and that makes the heart beat with emotion.
In recent years, the trends are romantic and evocative. Imagine a wedding in the woods or by the sea, or in a wine cellar, or at an archaeological site: real fairytale settings.
All scenarios breathtaking for the most beautiful day.
On such a special day, the bride and groom should not have any worries: especially when it comes to intimate weddings.
