I'm sorry you feel disappointed. Is there anyway you could have a reception or a vow renewal at a later date without stirring up family issues? You could still do most of the 'wedding' things.
@mspony:I thought about doing a vow renewal, and I will probably look into that a little bit more. Thanks!
I would do a vow renewal so that you can have your day. I know several ppl have done this and families tend to forget their "issues".
I don't know if this is something you are at all interested in...but you can have a Catholic "convalidation." It's not really a second wedding, but it's a way to receive the sacrament, declare your intentions before God, and have your marriage recognized by the Church.
I know some people who eloped feel like they are cheating to have a second, formal wedding. But having a convalidation would kind of give you an excuse to do it. Usually convalidations are pretty low-key but you could talk to a local church about it.
On the bright side, maybe you taught your parents/families a lesson on compromise? That will go a long way if you plan on giving them grandchildren. :)

Soo here is the deal.. When we got engaged my husband and family was strict Catholic, and mine was Pentecostal... His family threatened that if we did not get married in a Catholic church and be blessed by a priest we would not be married in their eyes, and my family threatened that if we had ANYTHING Catholic at the wedding they would not have any part in it...It was a very hard time for me and my at the time Fiance. Every time we got together with his family something was said and every time we got together with my family something was said. One day my family was giving me a hard time and I ran over to my husband's house and just cried.. He told me to go pack a bag.. I did and we ran off and 'eloped'..
I knew there was really no other answer because we kept on holding off everything and nothing was getting better... Well now I regret my action. Whenever we go to a wedding or hear someone talk about a wedding I get this almost depressed feeling. I want to be a princess for a day... I want to walk towards my husband in a white dress in front of all my friends and family... And to make matters worse my dad regrets the way he acted too, and I am his only daughter...he has commented about how he wishes he would have been able to walk his daughter down the isle...
I know this doesn't really go directly with this website, but I was just curious if there was anyone else out there who has experienced anything like this, and if they had any advice....
