The ‘elopement wedding’, which basically refers to a wedding gateaway, is recognised as a type of wedding that does not involve formal marriage procedures and is based solely on couples traveling from their country of residence to another country for a symbolic wedding ceremony on their own. This wedding type can sometimes take place as a result of a sudden/secret decision between the couples without the knowledge of their families, or it can be a romantic “family unification” with the consent of their families and relatives, where the couple celebrates alone in a secluded geography.
