True or False? - I have thought about abandoning wedding planning and eloping instead

Joey, on December 3, 2018 at 08:05 Posted in WeddingWire 0 34

When planning stress gets all too, well, stressful, do you dream of scrapping the whole thing and eloping, just the two of you? Have you even made the decision to do just that?

    True for us, we've thought about it, but we abandoned the idea shortly after.

    False.

    I know I would never hear the end of it from certain family members for the rest of my life, and I am enjoying the event planning part of it.

    True - my parents went through a very messy divorce and to be honest have no idea how they will act when I put them both in the same room. My fiancée had to talk to me off a ledge (figuratively) and reminded me that this is what I have always wanted from the beginning - to have the pretty dress and feel like a princess for one day!

    Ugh, true. I hate all the opinions people give you when you're planning!

    True, we had a hard time with the guest list since I have such a big family but nothing too serious.

    False. The big wedding has always been my dream... haven't experience enough issues to even consider not wanting to do it. I've been very fortunate to keep things minimal and under control, and standing up for myself, so I never got overwhelmed being pushed around.

    False.
    Other things may happen and abandoning the wedding plans was not scheduled.

    I had friends who chose to just elope alone and a lot of people were angry. I don’t agree with people being angry is its YOUR day. Not anyone else’s

    True. We probably wouldn't actually elope because we do want to share the day with our friends and families but we joke about how we don't care who shows up as long as each other does. We just want to be married!!! I know the wedding day will all be worth it though.

    False- I want my wedding with everyone there. Eloping might be easier but I know I wouldn’t be happy if I did.

    True. If we didn't put all these deposits down, an elopement would be a serious idea right now.

    True. Mostly because this is what I've always wanted to do, anyway. I saw a bride and groom on the NYC subway on the way to their courthouse wedding when I was a teenager and nothing has ever seemed so romantic or glamorous.

    False, I haven't. I think it will be worth it. We are pretty hard on finances because of our short engagement, so my FH has discussed it but we are not down for losing our deposits!

    True! Especially if my mom is making things about her or making planning seem difficult! At the end of the day, I know I do want to have the wedding I'm planning so it keeps me on course!

    False. We had talked about it before we were engaged but it made me sad to think about not having my friends and family there so we nixed that and never thought about it again

    False- I want our family and friends to be able to be a part of our marriage and witness it. Plus my fiance and I both grew up with siblings that commanded attention so I'm looking forward for us having our day to shine

    We definitely are eloping. Invited just the parents and siblings as a compromise, but I would have preferred just the two of us.
