Eloping used to be about running away to get married in secret, particularly without the knowledge of parents. People used to choose this as a way of escaping strict marriage laws or arranged marriages.

A lot has changed since then and this trend is actually making a huge comeback since the pandemic hit. People are intentionally choosing to have low-key marriages without all the stress that comes with planning for traditional weddings.
