The Best Places to Elope in Mexico for Incredible Wedding Ceremonies

Elopements? what is that? when did it come about? how do they take place? and more importantly, how do I know if an elopement is the best option for my wedding? are elopements in Mexico a trend with a great boom?

Well, elopements are not a new thing, they have been around for centuries. Maybe wedding elopements in Mexico are a more or less recent trend as a real wedding proposal. But we cannot deny that this idea has even left its mark in our literature and cinema, let's see two examples:

The elopements are cited in such old plays as Rome and Juliet by William Shakespeare, when the two characters because of the differences that exist in their families decide to elope.

Another more modern example of this is the plot of the movie Star Wars saga in the love between Anakin and Padme, in theory their love can not be, however in episode two they decide to elope in a beautiful place and get married without the presence of anyone but their two androids of the protagonist.

These two examples help us to understand the meaning of the word elopement, which we could summarize it, in something like, let's elope and live our love, the word in Spanish literally means escape.

This gives us an idea that it is really a very intimate moment between the couple and it is about enjoying their love no matter what others think, because the most important thing is the love they feel for each other and we must not deny that this idea just by writing it is very romantic.

The world is a magical place.
