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.

Rachel Moran: Graduate Intern of the Arthur L. Johnson Unity Wing Pride Center at Eastern Connecticut State University
