If I ever got mar....marr....mar....wed to a girl, I always had eloping in mind. I'd take her to the Tuscan region of Italy, and as we were biking through some quaint town, I'd pull her into a local church, grab the nearest little boy for the ring bearer, little girl for the flowers, and say our vows there in front of the local priest. After that, we'd go home and throw a huge reception in a Moose lodge or something kitschy like that, and just get tore up with friends and family.
I mean, I never gew up with vision of me walking down the aisle in my Armani Tux with doves flying around and all eyes on me, so I'm A-OK with eloping. Of course, I'd have to clear it with the gf. I think her father REALLY wants to give her away. He's very traditional..even though he's alredy giving away his other daughter. Anyway, I say do what you feel comfortable. Yes it's for you two, but you do have to consider the feelings of the family. Pissing off the inlaws right off the bat isn't a good idea.
) with a small group of people (my parents, his parents and our grandparents) and will be having a small party at our home for all of our friends
