My parents eloped - this year was their 27th wedding anniversary. My mom drove down to El Paso where my dad was stationed and then when he got moved to Germany, she got a job as a civilian employee (she was a dental hygienist at the time) and went with him. They lived in Germany for a few years, then came home, built a house, and had me. Elopement was the best option for them for a variety of reasons.
The funny part is I never knew they eloped until I was SEVENTEEN - we had no wedding pictures lying around our house and I never even noticed. My friends families don't have wedding pictures out because most of them had shotgun weddings with a very pregnant bride, so I didn't think it was abnormal that we never had them out either.
GPDad has offered me a LARGE sum of money to elope but I think I want a church wedding.
