Forgot to say that all ours got DH's name. I'd never be cruel enough to hand over my surname!! It's Irish & looooong!!

DH said a few times that we should just run away & elope! Less stress!

My uncle's 1 year anniversary was within days of my wedding. I went up to him saying I beat you to find out they were married!!
They took the kids to Sea World & got married while there. Their DD was 11 & DS was 9. It was just the 4 of them & noone else knew til after.
I wish someone had told me at SOME stage though!!!
