We eloped and told people after. Always thought we would renew our vows and have a dinner but we just celebrated 20 years of marriage and I would not share our day with anyone other than my husband. Marrying him was the best thing I ever did. I don't need a party to appreciate him or us.

Kudos! I figure weddings beat funerals...which are sadly the more common with my age group.
June 27, 1975. Cindy & I, dressed in denim, said our vows to a civil commissioner of marriage in the courthouse of Reno, Nevada. Two of his employees for witnesses. We're still together.
There's a lot to be said for elopement. The ceremony itself means little. It's the life together afterwards that means everything.
