I have posted before that my FH and I are faced with the dilema of buying a house OR having a wedding. Both are very important to him I'd rather the wedding (I already bought my perfect dress) but Think that the house is the wiser choice. He has a huge fam and wants everyone to be there... the day he wants is his grandparents anniversary... we ( Read more... )

I know we've got a few questions recently about eloping and today I stumbled over this: So you think you want to elope

Which is a personal account of someone who's gone through the process, dealt with the family issues and whatnot. Hope this helps someone!

Okay, I know I already posted once today, but this is something I've been wondering about since my fiance and I made the decision to do a real elopement ( Read more... )

I was originally planning a large wedding, but the stress of it, in addition to my FH's nervousness in regards to being the centre of attention during the whole celebration, has made us think about eloping - probably somewhere like a resort. I am Canadian and he is Swedish, so planning something to incorporate everyone has been very difficult. I am ( Read more... )

So, FH and I are thinking that this planning a wedding thing, is a big pain in the ass, and that it's costing us more money than we want to spend because we are also trying to remodel a house.

Well my fiance and I's original wedding date was May 29th 2009.. but planning this traditional wedding that neither of us really want (our families do..) is just causing stress, causing us to argue, and costing money we don't have. SO we came to this decision last night..

We're eloping to Hawaii in 2 weeks!!!I just needed to share that with ( Read more... )

So, I've been a pretty sporadic poster, and there has been ALOT of back-and-forth about what exactly we were going to do for our wedding. Originally, we were going to have the big traditional family wedding, until one day we stopped, looked at each other, and asked 'why???'. After lots of thought and re-planning, on February 6th, 2008, we had our ( Read more... )

So my FH and I may just forget the whole wedidng and elope this friday.  For those of you who have done it, or been to a small civil ceremony... what did you do to make it more special?   Special dress?  flowers or no flowers?  veil?  We aren't sure that we are doing this or not yet, we are just seriously toying with the idea.  Our wediding drama ( Read more... )

First of all, the fiance and I decided to semi-elope and complete all of the legal proceedings here in Florida, as opposed to having to worry about Connecticut law and arriving early enough. So, technically, I'm married! but for sentimentality purposes, we're considering the actual marriage to be the June date ( Read more... )

I'm married!! Even though we decided to go (very!) small, this community has been just great ( Read more... )
