Congratulations and welcome to the bee :-)
Eloping is a personal decision. My FI and I first got engaged almost 10 years ago and I wasn't ready until now. We aren't eloping, but we are keeping the guest list to 50 or less.
I'm not sure what the problem is? Is it just that you feel you've been together so long that it's anticlimatic?
If you want a wedding, have a wedding! I think everything finally falling into place is all the more reason to celebrate!
Just elope. Planning a wedding takes a least a year. It will be much quicker and easier. (FI thinks)
FI also said that his grandparents on his mom's side eloped, and, lol, they got caught and had to come back and do the wedding the "right way"
Sorry I updated, my laptop submitted my entry before I was ready. But yes there is an element of anti-climax at this point too yup.

So my FI and I have been together for 10 years (I know it's a long time). He was ready to propose when I was still finishing college and I just wasn't there so I told him to wait. Grad school came and went and now that I finally have time for my personal life he proposed
It was super romantic and we were both very excited and had planned on having a destination wedding in Hawaii. My family seemed thrilled, but that all blew up in my face because of the destination wedding concept and my MOH (my sister) started a massive argument with me about the location.
This was during the holidays. I tried to talk it out during the holidays, but it went no where. I had resigned myself to a wedding in Carmel, CA, but no one in my family has discussed the wedding with me since! No questions, comments, inquiries etc. (Although my father did ask me if I was happy to be engaged). My FI and I stopped planning and have been putting our money to us on business ventures. Plus recently my father lost his job.
Between the financial hardship of a wedding and the fact that not ONE of my family members has discussed the wedding with me since the blow up should I just assume my FI and I should elope? I'm starting to feel like no one cares and it would just be an inconvenience. I won't lie, it's devistating to think they don't care, but ultimately I don't want to feel guilty for having a wedding where everyone is resentful they're there. I'm also sick of feeling like I'm never going to get married. Thoughts?
