The average cost of a wedding in Connecticut is nearly $35,000.

Many couples are changing the way they get married, some opting for a small or “micro” wedding with only a few close friends and family members. And others are deciding to elope.

But the decision to elope isn’t always tied to wanting to avoid the price tag of a big wedding.

This hour, we hear from one couple who recently eloped at the start of the year.

GUESTS:

Kim Moran: artist and postal worker
Rachel Moran: Graduate Intern of the Arthur L. Johnson Unity Wing Pride Center at Eastern Connecticut State University
Emma Thurgood: Elopement photographer, videographer and planner

Additional voices featured in this hour:

Janice Favreau: Connecticut Justice of the Peace
George Gross: Your Queer Plants Shop
Michayla Savitt: State Government Reporter for Connecticut Public
