How to Announce Your Elopement
Why Eloping at Millbrook is the Perfect Choice: Real Stories from Our Couples
Eloping is a wonderful way to focus on love, romance, and celebrating your relationship without the pressures of a big event. Many Millbrook couples choose elopement to avoid family politics, save on costs, and keep the day intimate and stress-free. It's an unforgettable way to make the day truly yours.
Many of our couples have loved the freedom eloping brings. For Sarah, a simple post of her and her partner with "Mr and Mrs" mugs was enough to share their joy. Lisa, on the other hand, announced her new last name on Facebook with a photo captioned, "Look what we did today," receiving warm and positive comments.
For couples like Rebecca and Helen, the reveal came after the ceremony. Rebecca surprised her daughter with the news over the phone, saying, "Tom and I aren't engaged anymore — because we're married!" It was a moment of pure joy. Helen and her partner waited two weeks, after their honeymoon, to tell their families. They shared the news in person and through FaceTime, with most family members excited for them.
Others, like Rachel, chose unique ways to share the news. She sent holiday postcards to close family members before telling others in person. Jane took a similar approach, explaining the decision to elope to family face to face. If you're wondering how to broach the subject, our guide on why couples choose to elope covers the most common questions families tend to ask.
Eloping not only gives you control over your day but also lets you avoid the high costs and complexities of a larger wedding. Emma summed it up perfectly: "So many people said they wish they had eloped. It's sad that people do what others expect, rather than what means the most to them."
