Any ideas for a Tahoe mtb elopement/family issues

Do what makes you happy. Listen to your heart on this. If your family is close, you can always follow up w/a reception.

My husband and I eloped -- took an afternoon off and went to the courthouse! Shocked everyone, including myself (lol). While we were engaged and planning a small church wedding, our deciding to elope was a true impulse. Our families each gave us small "home" receptions, inviting just relatives & close friends. Very low key but perfect.

Twenty years later, we are still going strong.

Ended up getting married by a priest later (in my off-the-boat Irish/Catholic family, a necessity), but that was still just parents, us & the priest. A big wedding never appealed to me, primarily because I'm an introvert and don't like being the center of attention. Also, I'm too practical - we would have had to foot the bill ourselves. We used the money we would have spent on a wedding to buy our first house, a few months after we eloped.
