class=\"_28z5Fp _3-to_p\"><span class=\"_28z5Fp _3-to_p\">Couples might not have been willing to bring 100+ people to a ceremony, but many still wanted a wedding \u2014 albeit condensed to a closely-curated group of people (and sometimes just the couples).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_3VJt4n\">\n<p class=\"_28z5Fp _3-to_p\"><span class=\"_28z5Fp _3-to_p\">These days, elopements
