[quote=Anonymous] I felt the same way as the author and so did DH. My in-laws went bat shit crazy over the idea of elopement even though they cannot attend an event with eachother without a fight erupting and often a subsequent estrangement. The ironic thing is they all had big weddings or as they say they "did things the right way" and not one of their 1st (or even in some cases 2nd) marriages lasted. I got blamed for rebelling against the whole wedding idea yet it was a mutual decision. 10 years and two kids later we are still going strong. I wouldn't be surprised if every year in honor of our anniversary, MIL wears all black, drinks even more alcohol than usual and gets out her vodoo dolls.

By the way, we did throw a small party once we returned from our honeymoon and we said your presence is gift enough. Fights broke out among them before and during the event. Several of them stopped talking to eachother after for many months.

I enjoy other people's weddings and I am all for having a wedding if you really want it, but it was never our dream. We wanted a peaceful and serene wedding day and we didn't want to be financially stressed to have that.
