[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is tacky to have a reception  if you elope.  My brother (and his now EX wife) did that.   
I didn't even know he was seriously dating someone, then I get an email with the title "Mr. and Mrs. Lastname" and a pic of them getting married in Reno!

About 6 months later they had a big reception.   They live on the west coast so I was not about to spend tons of money and time going there for it.   Sorry, if I'm not important enough to you to witness your marriage, why am I supposed to help you celebrate months later?

I think it's very selfish (to elope and then later hold the celebration.)[/quote]

I think throwing yourself a party is a fine thing. Geeeeeeez. Your stuff isn't their stuff. Do you always feel you need to be "important enough" to witness somebodies wedding to be happy for them? Some people are private and want certain moments private. Or they have family drama they want to avoid. Or the cost. Or the timing. Or a dying parent. Or the sky is so blue and Elvis is so awesome they had to go to Vegas to get married. Sometimes it is OK to be selfish. And this didn't hurt anybody.

Whatever the reason, their ceremony. And the only two people who actually matter are the people getting married for that. The party -- lighten up! It's OK you didn't go, I don't think you are a true friend anyway.
