Planning your dream elopement but feeling anxious about the legal part?
You’re not alone—and the good news is: it’s more doable than you think.
In this episode, I’m guiding you through how to make your elopement legal—whether you're tying the knot at home, on a mountaintop, or across the ocean.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
📄 The core requirements for making a marriage legal
🌍 The pros and cons of getting legally married abroad vs. at home
🖋️ Who can officiate your elopement (including if you want to self-solemnize!)
📅 How and when to get your marriage license
📸 Why many couples separate the legal part from the ceremony (and how that gives you more freedom)
