We had an incredible engagement in Italy, surrounded by olive trees and friends. It was a magical evening that we’ll never forget.
We returned home to Sydney and started planning our wedding. While we knew it would be expensive to get married, we started adding up the costs and it was getting outrageous. The “wedding tax” was real.
Since we were also saving money for a house in the ridiculously priced Sydney real estate market, it started making less and less sense to have an elaborate, expensive wedding that would cost us tens of thousands of dollars.
Instead, we started looking at alternatives like eloping and that’s when Eloped was born! We realized you could have a beautiful day with your nearest and dearest for a fraction of the cost.
Our mission is to open up Australia’s eyes to the benefits of eloping over having a big expensive wedding.
