Throwing in the towel?

Is anyone thinking of throwing in the towel? Not on getting married, but the whole wedding part, and just eloping or something?

    FI mentioned something about this recently.  I think I freaked him out when I said "okay, whatever you want", then he was all in love with our original idea again.

    I've thought about it a little, but I know I would regret it. FI just said the same thing, that we should just go get married on a beach somewhere. I know he would love that, because he doesn't like to be center of attention or fussed over, and he feels a little bit like some parts of the wedding are a waste of money. But we talked more and agreed our family and friends would be so sad not to be able to celebrate with us, and that's why we are doing this whole thing. To celebrate our love with our family and friends and thank them for being there for us through everything. I think in the end we will be happy we choose the whole wedding route and not eloping, but that might be the right choice for you and your FI. Just really weigh the pros and cons, would you have any regrets?

    I just went through 2 months of wedding-anxiety and I was totally burnt out on planning -- I just wanted to elope. Now I'm realizing why we want a big wedding -- to share it with the people we love. So, as tired as I am of planning, I know it will be worth it.

    I've said it once or twice when I was feeling overwhelmed, but I don't think I've ever seriously considered it. I agree with rmp though, I would consider all the pros and cons before making a final decision though. Good luck!

    FI and I seriously considered eloping when we first got engaged. We got engaged last August and did no planning until late October, because we didnt know what to do. I was the one who wanted to elope, he really didnt want to. So I gave in, I do want my friends and family around me, but we are really are only inviting close family and very close friends...and thats around 200 people.

    I say it all the time LOL but do I mean it...partially... only because of the cost of the 'big' wedding compared to just going to Vegas and "getting it over with" seems so nice!

    I was thinking about it but the timing would be not perfect. Because we would have to wait til our taxes. By that time we would be so far ahead.

    Haha we did!!! Our original plan was set to be Married May 26th, 2012, we had the ceremony & reception to take place at my parents vineyard, did the cake tasting, color schemes, flowers, music, looked at ministers to marry us and the whole shebang.  Then in September we both threw our hands up and decided to plan away and if anyone wanted to join us great, if not then it would be just the two of us.  Thats when we did all our planning for Barbados.
    Not much really, just picked out a location, a villa, a planning service and thats that.
