DP and I are eloping at the end of November in Australia. We have told some family so its not really eloping as I wanted tot run things by them and so it wouldnt be such a shock. At first they said they would be sad not to see us say our vows but they know it is what will make us happy. I come from a family where everyone is divorced same as DP so I couldnt imagine anyhting worse than them all in the same room.

We are getting married up at Coffs Harbour. PM me if youwant some more details. We got a great packeage and they have a website if you want some more info.

lol eloped sounds so naughty
But DH and i decided to just have a Registry Wedding. You just have to apply to be married, then wait 1 month and 1 day and then you can be married. You have to book it with them of course and need whitnesses.. but you dont have to invite anyone else if you dont want to. We just invited family. Was a nice little ceremony and just what we wanted.

But my brother and his wife were married in the cook islands. They just had my parents there and my bros best mate.

We eloped to Vanuatu in 2003. Some friends knew but none of our family knew until we got back. We organised it all through the travel agent. There are so many wedding packages available that it's easy to do. Our planning of the actual ceremony involved a half hour meeting with a co-ordinator when we arrived in Vanuatu and then we turned up on the day. Easy and stress free. The whole lot cost us $6000 for 10 days over there and the wedding (which was $1000) Would do it again in a second.

Thanks girls, some awesome inspiring stories there! I've done so much wedding research, I am exhausted haha! I would LOVE to marry in Vegas, but thats just a tad expensive for us. I am looking at Broome, they have return flights for $189 atm for March 2009. I wonder if March will be too hot in Broome - mind you we would have a sunset wedding on cable beach.

DH and I eloped last year.

We just organised to go to a country courthouse and got married there. It was just lovely and exactly how we wanted it. It felt so wonderful and romantic running away into the country to this beautiful old building.

I think its a great idea. I have been married before so when dp and i get married we will definetly elop. I had the whole big ceremony thing the first time and i hated it. I dont like being centre of attention. Good luck i hope it all works out for you. Broome will be very hot in March i would think.
