ELOPES Meaning and
Definition
-
Elopes is a verb that refers to the act of running away secretly with a romantic partner in order to get married without the knowledge or approval of their families or the public. This usually takes place when societal or familial obstacles prevent a couple from marrying openly or when they desire a more private and spontaneous union. The term is commonly associated with a sense of adventure and rebellion against traditional norms.
Eloping has historical roots in escaping and evading societal restrictions on marriage, particularly during times when parental consent or class differences could hinder the union of two individuals. While eloping was once typically associated with couples of differing social statuses or those seeking to defy their families, it has evolved to encompass a broader range of reasons today, including personal preferences, wanting a more intimate ceremony, or simply desiring a unique and unconventional wedding experience.
The concept of eloping often implies spontaneity and secrecy, with the couple making their plans clandestinely, sometimes even excluding close family and friends. Eloping may involve traveling to a distant location or a local courthouse and often includes a private wedding ceremony. It is important to note that eloping does not necessarily denote disapproval from the couple's families or a lack of commitment; instead, it signifies a choice to prioritize the couple's desires and circumvent societal expectations or constraints.
