1. We had a religious ceremony for our family after we eloped. You can search my username to find the details.
2. Sedona, Arizona
3. I really wanted my grandmother to attend, but I decided not to because it was July in Arizona and it would be too hot for her. Moreover, she would have to fly into Phoenix from Orlando, FL, then drive up 2 hours to Sedona... Only my husband's immediate family attended. I had just met his mother the day before our ceremony. And she's such a Southern Belle.
Do I regret it? No. Because it's about your husband and yourself, anyways...
4. Worth every lost penny...
The biggest thing if you know your family will be pissed off, then you all need to align your finances together for upto 2-3 years. By that time some of your family will get over it.
I highly suggest reviewing some of the "Marriage Enrichment" information either secular versions or religious versions. I think there is a very good Catholic Couples Counseling called Retrounaville [sp?]. Google it.
You all will have to work on your "soul togetherness" or you will start to fight when family pries into your relationship. But you will need your folks. It is hard to let your "baby" go when one doesn't know what will happen.
