Elope?

[sgtiger]

We eloped during spring break twelve years ago. The local county courthouse was booked two months out. So we ended up in Oregon City, two days before Dh's birthday, being married by the judge that presided over Tonya Harding's indictment. It was all very funny in a cosmic sort of way for us. BIAK went to Oregon City H.S. and his hoodlum friends were tried by this judge. Tonya Harding went to my high school for a while with his ex. Anyhow, I wore a long spaghetti strap summer dress with a print on it and Dh wore slacks and button down shirt. I don't think he wore a tie, but I could be wrong. I forgot to ask the witnesses (court employees) to take our picture even though I had my camera with me. Nerves and excitement, I guess, so we don't even have a picture of our day. We spent our honeymoon in San Francisco visiting Golden Gate Park, the Exploratorium, and Ghirardelli Square. I have no regrets about not having a formal wedding. For us, it's always been about our marriage and helping each other thrive. Well... after those first few tempestuous years, anyway.

Congrats!

Can't help much, we had the big wedding, but had a blast!

Do exactly what you want: dress, place, size, everything, it's your day - your memories. Have a blast. I think it is worth sharing with a few close friends.
