    I always thought I would want a big wedding - that I would be ok spending a ton of my own money and even my parents money for the big day.  I've always known weddings were a lot of work for 100 different reasons but after lurking on Weddingbee for over  a month now, I've come to realize....

    HELL NO.

    The details, the money, the venue, the guestlist, people getting pissed, stressing myself out.  Just look at the boards menu - LOOK AT ALL THAT STUFF THAT COMES UP!

    No.  I can't.  I simply will not do it.  I want to thank Weddingbee because this actually made me realize eloping was the path for us before I even got bogged down by wedding things.  Thanks everyone :)  *cheers* TO ELOPING!

    Agreed, I'm really glad that you're doing what you want! I loved all the details and the planning and the freaking out, haha, but I totally understand it's not for everyone!

    Way to go girl! although I don't regret having a wedding. I was at a point during the planning where I just about had it and was going to run away with DH. LOL! I think Eloping is fun and romantic! Congrats

    I eloped and for me it was the best decision my DH and I made about the wedding.   We still talk about it months later with zero regrets and we are able to look back at a calm relaxing time that was just between the two of us.

    AWESOMENESS!  

     

    I have to agree w/you, I've always wanted a wedding, but the more I see about what bees go through to plan makes me think twice.  A friend who recently got married and had a small wedding even told me "elope.  It's not worth it." lol.

    I am SOOOOOOOOO close to feeling the exact same way.  I'm worried that I will regret the decision though!  AHHH I wish I could be as confident as you!  Go you!

    @Jamiezilla:  Thanks - it might not be confidence though.  It could be a bad thing.  It could be a blatant disregard for what others want/think/care about Tongue Out  Which is a blessing and a curse. 

    I don't want to deal with a wedding, I don't care if I hurt feelings (I mean I care a little bit but not that much), I don't care if people are disappointed, I just don't!

    *steps up on soap box and shouts with as much sophistication as possible*

    "Eff IT!"
