Intro
Getting married is one of the biggest events of anyone’s life. While being engaged can be fun, many couples don’t want to do a big, traditional wedding. It can be tempting to run away and get married in secret, or elope.
It might be simpler, but getting hitched without your friends and family around could be a little sad too. At least it’s less likely to be extravagant!
Vocab
Example I would like to get my niece a pony for her birthday, but my sister says that gift is too extravagant.
Example My brother got engaged yesterday. I'm so happy for him. He asked his girlfriend to marry him while they were in Hawaii.
Example Some couples choose to elope and celebrate later with friends and family.
Quiz
Discussion
Do you know anyone who has eloped? Do you want a big wedding, or does eloping sound like fun? If you’re married, how big was your wedding?
