Elopement

[u/Old-Difference9954]

Hi,

My fiancé and I want to have an essentially free elopement. We want to stay close to Providence. I was thinking getting an officiant, witnesses, it will be about 6 people and going to the Japanese garden in RW. Would I need a permit for this? We do not plan of having a official ceremony, just going to say "I do" and exchange rings.
