Subject: RE: Im engaged!One thing I will say about eloping...while I don't regret it and it was great for my DH and I, almost 10 years later my parents are still mad at us about it. My dad didn't get to walk either of his daughters down the aisle as my sister got married on the sly too. Eloping was right for my husband and I because neither of us ever thought we'd get married, ( I was all about career ) and I was never one of those girls that dreamed of planning a big wedding and being a princess for a day. Plus, we are both super careful with money (not cheap ) and we wanted to buy a house right away instead. (Which we did and still live in! ) But my parents were hurt, and that part I do regret. We could have handled it differently. My husband and I are planning to re-new our vows for our 10 year anniversary to hopefully try and make up for what they missed. But whatever you do, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! |
