We eloped in Las Vegas. Best decision we made. It's not for everyone, but for us it made sense. We planned it for several months and pulled it off without telling anyone.
We had the wedding WE wanted on OUR dime. The wedding should be about the couple, and not the show.
We paid for it ourselves. My wife's parents gave us the money they had been putting away for her wedding, and we put it towards our house.
We didn't have the awkward invitations to people and relatives we didn't really know. Some people sent cards and gifts, and some didn't. No big deal.
The only person who was upset was my sister-in-law. The heck with her.
