Want to skip big-wedding stress and run away to one of the exotic places, quirky or just plain idyllic destinations for a fuss-free private wedding.
Here are eight best place to elope with the paramour .
Sierra Nevada, USA: Last minute Las Vegas elopements are legendary for a reason that you don’t have to do much more than ask nicely for a marriage licence in Nevada.
Fiji: What you may have to fork out in flights to reach Fiji, you’ll recoup in fantastic all-inclusive elopement package deals at resorts across its 300-odd islands.
The Seychelles: The talcum powder white beaches and lush, jungled hills of this Indian Ocean paradise drip with romance, and while only residents can get hitched next door in the Maldives, couples need only check into their Seychelles hotel two days prior to tying the knot here (and take their birth certificates).
Andes, Peru: At Peru, couples can opt for a traditional ‘Arac Masin’, or Andean wedding, among stunning sacred Inca sites such as the famous ruins of Machu Picchu.
Tulum, Mexico: While it may sound more exotic to elope to Costa Rica or Nicaragua, there is still nowhere easier to have a Latin quickie (wedding, that is) than the equally romantic shores of Mexico.
Denmark: While the bureaucracy of marrying legally in most European countries renders a quickie wedding next to impossible, you only need proof of identification, proof of entering the country legally (and proof of a previous divorce, if applicable) to wed in Denmark.
Gretna Green, UK:When Parliament tightened marriage arrangements in the middle of the 18th century, requiring couples to reach the age of 21 before they could wed without parental consent, the southern Scottish village of Gretna Green became a haven for thousands of English couples running away to marry in secret.
Ubud, Indonesia:Getting hitched legally in most Asian countries can be a headache for foreigners. It’s somewhat easier in Bali, but easier still to complete the formalities at home and come here for a romantic traditional blessing ceremony based on Hindu-Balinese customs.
