The desire to enhance intimacy and reduce wedding costs have only increased since the coronavirus emerged. As more couples opt for celebrations with smaller guest lists, we’ve seen the rise of elopements, ‘minimonies,’ and micro-weddings.

‘Minimony’
The ‘minimony’ has been trending primarily as a result of couples who had to postpone their wedding due to COVID-19. This type of wedding is like a prequel to the in-person wedding day. It brings together a small group, less than 10 people, to witness a simple commitment ceremony on your original wedding date.
