My husband and I got eloped and never did a wedding. We understand that
it would not make sense to have one, now that we are married. However,
we would still like to have a sort of celebration for our marriage. (We
had to go without the wedding due to certain situations that will be
left unsaid.) Neither of our families were there with us, we had two
people for our witnesses and that is it. We want to do something small
so we can not only celebrate us getting married, but also have our
families together as they would be in an actual wedding.
We
thought of doing a pot luck type of thing. The attire would be Sunday
best, so there isn't a huge wedding gown, or the maids or grooms men.
We
will have music and a couples dance with some karaoke. A "Battle of the
sex's" sort of game "Family Bingo." We are thinking of doing a toast
with speeches but haven't made our mind up on that yet.
Is there
anything else we should do? I want it to last a good amount of time.
How should we word the invitations? Any ideas? Thoughts? Please help
us!! (NO NEGATIVITY PLEASE. I see a lot of people bashing others for
getting eloped and not having a wedding till later on. REMEMBER THIS IS
NOT A WEDDING!)
Also, not many people knew of us getting
married some of them are a little hurt that we didn't tell them about it
until after wards.
