Why
get married? Meet
the e-lopers, Geoff and Kiran
... a couple of travel nuts who traveled across 6 continents
for 1 year to find out why people get married. To experience the wedding
rituals ourselves, we researched local customs while staying in and
getting to know a local community, and then asked the community members
to marry us in their traditional way.

Sorry, you won't find information about foreign wedding legalities
or how to elope overseas on this website.
Our
story in print We're
slowly but surely turning our 365-day journey overseas into
a travel novel entitled A Year and A Day. We'll let you
know here first about its progress. Until then, check out our
travel blogs.

Wedding
rituals and cultural traditions
Why should we get married? We explore ceremonies
around the world for insight. Communities are strengthened
by the ritual of marriage, and every culture has a form of
wedding ceremony. There are common values shared across cultures,
at opposite sides of the globe. Our final wedding ceremony
was the answer to our original question, made up of our favorite
e-lopers moments and shared with friends and family in Canada.
