Hi Indy!

Congrats on your upcoming wedding! I'm getting married too and we are also facing the same "issues" as you. It will be both of our second weddings and we do not want to go through the hoopla (or spend the $$) of a big wedding. My first wedding was the big deal with over 200 people and I hated every minute of it. I wanted a destination wedding and my now ex said no they do the big wedding at home. I should have known then it wasn't going to work LOL

This time around my fiance and I wanted to elope but knew our families would be very upset, so we are having them rent beach houses (we live on the east coast in a beach town and our families are both from different cities in the midwest). We are going to have a very simple chapel wedding and then go back to one of the houses to a catered dinner.

It's not eloping, but it's the closest thing we can get to eloping!
