Although many couples these days do the elopement thing and then come back to go through at least some of Dante's Inferno planning a big party, the original purpose of eloping was to avoid all that planning -- or to avoid the financial and/or dysfunctional family dynamic of planning a wedding. So, if you're considering elopement for any of the traditional reasons, then it will be well worth your while to review this summary of state marriage requirements before you choose your secret destination. It tells you everything you need to know including how old you have to be, how long you have to wait to seal the deal, and whether or not you'll need any icky medical tests. Most states don't have difficult requirements, but it will be good to know before you go.Comments [0]
