What is an Elopement Wedding?

How to Elope UK?

One of the quickest, easiest, and least expensive methods to get married in the UK is by elopement, but you must first know the legal requirements.

A British citizen is also required (or have the correct right to marry in Britain). After that, all that remains is to select a ceremony site and acquire a licence.
