Traditional vs Elope

[Jmort1754]

Those that have gotten married, if you could do it all over again would you do a traditional wedding or Elope?

Elope. We had a great wedding but it’s supposed to be about you and you’ll end up having everybody tell you what you should have for food, you need to invite your aunt you’ve only met once and bitching about when it is.

That was kind of our thoughts, she would be the first daughter in her family to get married so and we haven't even begun planning yet, that shit is already happening.

My wife and I got married, then let everybody know. We knew a wedding would turn into a nightmare with family so we avoided it all together. Go on a nice trip, put a down payment on a house. My wife also got a nicer ring than she would have if we had funded a wedding, money well spent.

It’s possible to have a great wedding for less than 8-9k.

My wife and I had an awesome, unforgettable celebration with friends and family in 2019 for about 6k. Hall, Sam’s Club booze, great DJ, catered food for around 100 people.

If you’re brainwashed into the typical 30k wedding, then yes, I would elope. If you and your spouse don’t need to keep up with the Jones’, you can have a great wedding for the cost of a nice vacation.

I don't regret it at all, weddings turn into a show and that's not what it's supposed be about.
