    It dawned on me that my SO would probably prefer eloping when we are ready to marry. I mentioned it to him and he said that is true! So now I have the problem I have every holiday season...want to propose to him. Basically, invite him to elope. What do y'all think?

    If you think he's open to it, why not? I think that's a great idea.

    If you want to elope, and you know he wants to elope, then I think your in a good place to ask him to elope!! Use your instincts, good luck!! :)

    Ok so he was out of town overnight and I will see him today. The urge to invite him to elope is strong, even though we have been living apart for a few months. In fact, our communication has gotten MUCH better since living apart. He is studying a book about attachment styles with me.

    So...thinking about asking him tonight. Trying. to. contain. myself.

    Still haven't done it. Am aiming for New Year's Eve. Trying to find a low-key place for us to spend the evening for a low cover charge. Hmm, do I choose the place where we met? It seems romantic to ask him there.

    Okay, I couldn't wait so I asked him last night, "Would you like to elope with me?" He thought for a while and said "Not right now." He also said eloping sounded romantic and kind of scandalous and that he liked that. Also that he thought it would be fun to elope in Tijuana and have a marriage certificate in Spanish, but maybe that wouldn't be practical. :)

    He said he was thinking some other things but would tell me later. I asked if I needed to worry and he said no. Hmm.

    At least he didn't say NO!! So I think I am on the right track. I told him I didn't want to come to the end of another year (next year) and still not be married to him.

    So, my cards are on the table. I feel much better now.
