Honestly, I would love to elope. Not for financial reasons either, I would just love to do it him and I, rather it being this big spectacle...
I wouldn't do it for the reasons your friends did, but if one of my parents were sick - or if someone in my FI's family was sick, I would get married ASAP. My soon-to-be SIL lost both her parents last year - within 6 months of one another. If that were my case (both were pretty sick and not old, either), I would've gotten married so that both of my parents could share my day with me - even if that meant my Mom, Dad, FI, and I were there. Everyone else could attend the regularly scheduled date.
On another note - I have a friend that was going to marry her BF that she bought a house with for him to get benefits...granted, they were not engaged - but they did end up breaking up 2 months after the 'married for benefits' discussion was had.
Sure, why not? They're getting married anyway in a year and if there's some pressing concern and getting married ASAP would alleviate stress, worry and financial burden why not>
@Abby M - yeah I definitely agree. As far as marrying FOR benefits - I don't agree with doing that! But if you're getting married anyway for the right reasons...
@sparkle - i share your opinion :)

Just a hypothetical for you girls who are planning or did have a big wedding and a long engagement.
I've got an acquaintance whose very large wedding isn't for a year or so, but she and her FI are going to secretly marry in the courthouse so that they'll be able to share some benefits of their jobs with each other. (To be vague: being married would save them a LOT of money.) They're not going to announce their status to anyone, even their parents; as far as the general public's concerned, they'll be getting married next year at their wedding.
Would you consider doing this? What do you think about this king of thing? And would you be able to keep it a secret? (I bet I couldn't!!)
