Dating as far back as Medieval times, eloping had a rather different feel than it has today, the entwining and linking of different social status and religions was frowned upon, which lead to fleeing lovers. Arranged marriages were used to improve families social standing without thought of the hearts & minds of the individual.
Fast Forward to 18th Century
The rise of Gretna Green in Scotland which became synonymous with eloping as their marriage laws were very different from ours, allowing couples to marry at 16 as opposed to parental consent for the under 21’s. It is at this time that the romance took hold, and it became a very popular option, really putting Gretna Green on the map. By the 1970’s it wasn’t seen as such a scandalous act and started to become a ‘thing’
21st Century Authentic Choices
Thankfully, today’s image of elopement sees a very different scene of two lovers joining as one in a beautifully intimate setting. Without the constraints and expense of a traditional wedding day. The rise and trend of eloping has attracted varied age groups and is more than ever socially acceptable.
