It was perfect. Very casual and lots of tequila. We got a house in Telluride with our wedding party and their significant others, we were married outside in a remote area of Colorado underneath Mount Sneffels, with about 50 people in total attendance!
It was what was expected of us. I definitely do not feel as stressed as I was when I had been planning my previous wedding and am really looking forward to our elopement.
Would have rather spent the money on an amazing trip to Europe. Definitely wish we would have eloped! Mainly, if we were going to deal with bull crap from family, better for them all not to be there, haha!
Plus my family is not civil around each other so I was super stressed about them all being in one place. We wanted to elope but found it little hard to plan, we decided to get married with 18 guests. I will forever regret it. It was nice, but I did not feel it was the best day. And then she ruined it.
Also the amount of money we spent we could have gone on a 2 month vacation to multiple countries. I had an incredible, fun, beautiful, wedding day, but the memories of planning the whole thing really makes it hard to separate the day from the horrible experience of planning it. I would not do the same thing over again. It gave them fuel to use against us for years.
I wish I still had done what I wanted! I wanted to still have family there…just not a traditional walk down the aisle bridesmaid type thing. Anyway, i think no matter what the ceremony is like, you still get married at the end so what''s the difference? FI''s dream is to elope in Vegas. I would have preferred to spend the money on our first home together.
Joined Apr 21, Messages 2, I do too. I want to elope but FI prefer a traditional wedding. Lately I''ve been kind of warming up to the wedding idea. I am pretty happy that I chose to support FI''s idea. Joined Jun 7, Messages 1, I have social anxiety disorder, and my FI is also very shy. So we''re having a wedding with a guest count of I don''t think I could elope because it would just crush my mother, and I really want her there.
But I agree with others. If you have even a small part of you that wants a wedding with your family, it can be done. It takes drastic cuts, but it can be done. But if you don''t think you''ll regret it And you''ll save a whole lot of money! Joined Aug 16, Messages We intended to elope, but we ended up with immediate family there with us.
It was still no big dress, no attendants, no dancing, no speeches, very relaxed and informal. I don't regret it for a moment. The only thing I was a little sorry about was more the casual attitude of my friends and family - no one did anything to make me feel 'special' like a bride, taking me out to lunch, for a spa day, manicure etc.
Even the people who knew it was happening beforehand just pretended it wasn't happening. Just because we wanted a low-key occasion didn't mean I wanted people not to acknowledge it. If you do like being the centre of attention and made a fuss of, this sort of wedding probably isn't for you. Joined Oct 28, Messages 2, My wedding was wonderful and I don't regret it As nice as it was to have our families and friends with us, I just don't think the wedding itself was worth what we paid for it, and it was kind of stressful to have a ton of people there, to try to talk to them all, and to feel like I failed at that.
I still feel guilty that some people came hundreds of miles and I got to spend about three minutes with them. Joined Sep 20, Messages 2, I could go on and on for pages about this but I won''t torture anyone.
Joined Feb 28, Messages Honestly, I wouldn''t have eloped if I could do it over again. Don''t get me wrong, there were moments that I joked about "seriously, we should just elope, save the money and save the drama" but in the end, I wouldn''t change it for the world. I cherish all those memories, and that will most likely be by far the biggest and best party I get to throw for my friends and family, and was definitely worth the money though there is no debt from the wedding, we paid what we had, and DIYed a lot.
However, I understand that my personal experiences are true for me and only me, and only you and your groom will be able to decide if eloping is right for you.
I find the idea very romantic - get whisked away to some special, private and possibly tropical! I would love to do a vow renewal like that. It''s something we wanted everyone to share in.
While I think taking your mom''s ideas into consideration is important, what you and your fiance want is paramount. Don''t let your wedding run away from you and regret getting bullied into the wedding you and your fiance don''t want only because it''s what other people want. Good luck with your decision, and best wishes on a long and happy marriage! Joined Apr 18, Messages 3, I''ve been watching bridal tv shows a lot lately.

It could even damage your relationship with your family members so you may want to think twice before you decide to elope. You may find that there are some people that you wish you had included to be with you on your special day.
One of the benefits of having friends and family around for your wedding is that you get to have fun, play games, dance the night away together and celebrate your union as a couple.

DO organize a little something for your loved ones who want to mark this occasion with you. DO remember why YOU chose to elope. Have stern words with yourself instead and bring yourself back to reality.
DO ask yourself what you and your partner value spending your money on. However, the cost factor should not be your main reason for choosing to elope.
