Elopement Ceremony
Many couples opt to read the personal vows they’ve written in private, just the two of them, and then have a more traditional ceremony afterward with their guests. At the ceremony with your family, you can read more traditional vows, or you can re-read your personal vows. This is often the best option for someone who is torn between wanting a truly private experience, and also wanting their friends and family to be involved.
