Eloping to Paris

Edizarodriguez

My husband and I eloped to Paris. I feel like this is the best decision for the both of us.

This is not possible.  France has very strict laws about marriage and a very long residency requirement.  At least one of you must reside in France for 30 days before the marriage, and there is a 10 day waiting period for documents.   Try another country.  Denmark is easy.
Another possibility is that you elope in your home country, and then have a honeymoon in France.
The website you posted is CRAP!  They recommend that you get married in the USA and then have a "symbolic ceremony" a.k.a. FAKE WEDDING in France.  Ugh!  Super tacky!

Yeah, you're not eloping in Paris if you've already eloped in the US. Why even give yourself the extra trouble and cost? Elope in the US and plan your HM in Paris. Leave the same day if you wish!

First off, an elopement is when you and your FI go and get married on your own and others don't know.

Are your parents contributing financially to your wedding?

Why are you calling him your "husband"?  Are you already married?

That explains it!

Yep!  Thank goodness this wasn't for real.  The newbie brides are coming!
I'm glad I told her the blog was crap.
