The old way to elope

To elope simply means to run away, to be wedded. In a sudden and secretive fashion, usually involving hurried flight away from one's place of residence together with one's beloved with the intention of getting married. So, run away to Magnetic Island where an "elopement" is any marriage that takes place in haste or without telling anyone.

And here's another wonderful way to make your elopement more memorable. You will need wtnesses, which we can help you with, but why have strangers as your witnesses?

Consider sharing your wedding ceremony, reception and celebrating with another couple you care for with you and your fiancé - Have a Double Wedding - Two couples - one wedding!
