My dad offered me $5000.00 to elope. It would have saved him about $15,000.00. I think he was proud to give me away at a real wedding though. It was beautiful and fun and I wouldn't trade that day and those memories for anything. It's the last time my whole family and all my friends were together like that. My family really knows how to throw a good party and having my friends officiate the ceremony was awesome too. It really meant something to stand there in front of everyone I know and promise myself and my life to Dan. I think just eloping wouldn't have meant as much because it takes the support of all your friends and family to make it through life and marriage, and when they are there for the marriage they take a vow to help you with it. It's kinda like establishing a community around the bond of two people. Eloping to me seems like sneaking off to wed and not wanting anyone to be a part of it or believing you don't have support in it. I couldn't have done it without my family.

Soooo do I look as young as I look?
That may be true for some but I would want to Elope because of several reasons:
I feel that a big wedding is a waste of money.
I hate getting up in front of people and speaking.
I feel that its a private thing.

So do I, but you don't notice the rest of the people when you're up there giving your vows.
I disagree with that. To me, a wedding is making a promise and commitment to your spouse in front of all of your friends and family.
The honeymoon is the private part

I dont involve anyone one else in our relationship advice wise. That's how its private.
I can't imagine how anyone could give you two relationship advice. You guys are weird and beautiful and perfect for each other.

This thread has been so long and has gotten so off topic that I completely forgot what the topic was and I could not fathom what your post was all about. How's your beer today?

It awaits me in its refrigerated domicile like a virgin bride awaiting her monstrously hung husband.
Or something like that.
