I think that we will elope. When I was engaged to my 1st boyfriend, my mother was a case of if we are paying for it (which they were not) we have say into it. She told me who I could and couldn't invite (as in relatives that I would not know if I tripped over them in the street). In the end we split up and I am now in a new relationship. I had only been together for 6months (with my new DP) and my mother was asking about when we are getting married and she thinks that it would be a nice idea for us to elope.. 'just the 4 of us, you and x and your father and I'
No thanks! I really do think that a family wedding will be out of the question.
We eloped to Vanuatu. We had been together over 10 years and neither of us wanted the cost or stress of organising a wedding, but we definitely wanted the honeymoon! We asked two friends to come with us. We were married at a resort that had a wedding planner and it was just a case of a half hour meeting with her when we got there to choose the cake, the location of the ceremony, my flowers, organise hair/make up and massages and reception menu.
We didn't tell our family and friends until we got back, and thankfully they were all ok with it! If we mentioned it beforehand, they all would have wanted to come with us which would have defeated the purpose of a stress free wedding!
