lilian makori That one day is a celebration of binding with one person for the rest of your life. It's a pretty big deal, but I do get where you're coming from. Not everybody has that kind of money to spend.
To me the wedding is a celebration of love with your S.O and the biggining of a new life together. I think its a very special and important moment in a person's life. With that being said, since its such an important and intimate moment i think it should be shared only with people who are close to the couple. I don't think any person is close to 400 people to invite them to the wedding. You wouldnt invite 400 people to see the birth of your child, so why invite so many people to your wedding? IDK, never was a fan of big weddings. My wedding had 50 people, didn't spent much money, but was the most special and fun day of my life so far.
Estefany Gonzalez she’s not; she was thinking back to her time when she eloped. She kept going back to memory. That’s a body language thing. She was thinking about it the whole time
Jordin has been WIFEY MATERIAL. I'm not at all surprised she took the opportunity when the right partner came along. I wish for her blessings and success in this marriage!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Faduma Yusuf that’s what a good host does. They’re aware of the audience and actually engage with them. These are the people that put them up there where they are today
actually coz adrienne is siting in a corner and it gets obvious when she looks at the audience but if u observe all of them look as much as she does even tamera who is at a side is straight n can see the audience without her turning her face
When you elope, the wedding truest becomes about you and your partner. No family trying to give opinions, the vows don’t have to be so “speech” like... it’s about you and your love. That’s all.
A small intimate wedding is *NOT* eloping. Heck can you even put much planning into eloping? If the couple thought about having an intimate wedding or party or just a getaway but their closest loved ones know....then its not eloping.
Elope: verb (used without object), eloped, eloping. to run off secretly to be married, usually without the consent or knowledge of one's parents. 2. to run away with a lover.
I think they mean in the sense that you have talked about getting married and committing to one another and wake up one day and just decide to do it without all the hoopla of a wedding
KITTEN MAYZ right! I had my "small wedding" (200 ppl went) at a restaurant and i hated it! I hate being the center of attention. It was so awkward for me. It was a civil ceremony but now I am going to have a symbolic one in Cancun this August with my family and close friends. Sometimes big events like that aren't for some people.
6 yrs into our relationship.....I eloped...it was the only day off my huni and I ever had at the same time....we drove to Vegas, went to the county clerks office it was empty...good sign....found an Elvis chapel...they had a licensed minister to do a 2 min I do's...you sign and then I got a small arrangement of flowers and you have an actual ceremony with Elvis as an officiate. a young Elvis walked me down the isle while singing and the photographer was taking awesome pics and it was perfect... we didn't tell anyone...we stood at an amazing hotel with a beautiful view, we got pictures, a dvd and a fabulous time in Vegas...best day of my life :)
My husband and I eloped in the not planned way. We spoke about it multiple times and just decided to do it - $100 bucks well spent. Didn't tell family or anything it was just us against the world. I definitely believe it's not ideal for everyone and sometimes I wonder what would have happened if we did it the traditional way but we're still together 4 years later Some people can get married after 6 months and stay together forever, some people can date for 10 years and break up. It is what is.
jyabriel08 that's beautiful. However would you consider doing the wedding at renewing your vows ceremony like Tamara said? Just asking because you did say you sometimes wonder but if not that's fine. I personally can't live wondering for the rest of my life what if....
I was actually thinking about doing it for our 5th year but my husband is currently deployed. So maybe for your 10 year we'll renew our vows and have a big celebration. The only thing I miss from having a wedding is the dress and the cake lol.
Cecile Victoire that's what hubs & mine situation was. Everybody was against us from the start. We dated for a little over a year & then he proposed to me in September of 2014. We wanted our wedding to be December 2014, 3 months later but eloped that day instead. There was too much drama & stress & I felt like I was fighting armies just to be with him & for people to be happy for us. Been married 3 years & together for 4 1/2 years.
I honestly feel like... at the end of the day... First of all let's congratulate Jordin on this AMAZING news !!! She genuinely looks happy and Its so crazy to see her married now ! But i feel like whether you wanna an extravaganza and go all out or even if you want to go to the court house and elope then that is up to you ! As long as you married I'm happy for you !
Myronn Coleman right! Sometimes those big events aren't for everybody. On my wedding day i felt so awkward. But thank god I'm having a retake in Cancun with close friends and family. 💜
I wouldn't elope, my smallest lowkey idea would be the courthouse with just family and have brunch or a meal nearby to celebrate but it will definitely be an intimate event with no bridal party, my checklist is simply: food, entertainment, venue, color scheme and call it a day. The wedding isn't as important as the union itself.
I feel like Jeannie's question to Loni about having a feeling before marriage was personal. She probably is looking back and remembering her feeling. Sigh, I feel so much for Jeannie
Lash DB that's what sprang to mind for me... I agree also because I had an experience such as this I didn't listen though and disaster struck later so it's good to follow your mind not your heart
Maybe not now but later when he grows from an immature f**boy to man. For now,he is still running after plastic dolled up women with with gigantic butts for one night stands.I don't know how they even get together in the first place.Guess he was Jordan's frog to kiss before finding her prince.
Me and my husband always had the dream to elope. When we goT engaged and told our parents ( they would be part of it as well) they got all sensitive because some family members wouldnt be part of the moment (we wanted only our parents and brothers sharing the moment). Well, we ended up planning a intimate small wedding (50 people) and decided to spend money in our honeymoon. Even though i regret not eloping anyways (planning a wedding is only fun if you dreamed with it your hole life. I personaltly hated, just wanted to be married and done with the hole thing) not spending so much money was the best decision EVER. I never got the point of big weddings anyways.
Having a big wedding doesn't mean it will be successful. We had a wedding (planned for 1 year) with a guest list of over 100 people and spend approx 12k of personal saved money to pay for the wedding. I am now divorced and are no longer friends with none of the people that attended the wedding. Through everything one friend and family member called a few times over the past 2 years. I'm not hurt by it nor will I mend it. I just know who they really are. The thought of having a big wedding irritates me especially if there will be a bunch of people there so called there for me that I don't like and I don't care about. I'm not having a big wedding.
I had a civil ceremony and a party of 200 people. I felt so awkward. Hate being the center of attention. But right now we are going to have a symbolic ceremony in Cancun with close friends and family. Im more excited for the smaller party than the big one we had. Sometimes big events (like huge weddings) arent for everyone.
I remember Jeannie saying whenever she has a breakup she always look fatter and more beautiful. I was like "what the hell!!!!??" But daaaaaaaaaaaaaaooouuuuuuummmmmmmmmmm I believe her she's looking dope asf😥😥😥😁😍😘 Yaasss hun bunch!!!!🙌🙌🙌👐👏👏👏👏👏👍👍
I eloped at age 15 with my 19 yr old school sweetheart. On June 20 😉on June 27 we will be celebrating our 38th anniversary. We had to wait for the longest 7days to officially marry by his grandfather at his other grandpa family home in the country. We waited on my mom to sign consent. We are happy serving each other in God grace. First love and only 💘 love. Young couple can survive marriage at young age or to one partner if truly committed . thanks for reading. God bless.

I hate the term eloping... We went to the courthouse and got married. Period. We planned to do it, it wasn't done on one random day. But it definitely happened on a Monday morning with 2 family members only. Then we went straight into the immigration process bc my husband isn't American and although we met, dated and lived together abroad, I wanted to go home to NY and take him with me. People have asked us if we'd do a "real" wedding... Like foh, you think our wedding wasn't real? Do you think our marriage isn't real? You don't know real love until you're in an international marriage, dealing with being separated and the very costly and invasive process of immigration. It's like Jeannie said, It's about what the couple needs/wants. Some couples who just got married on their own are way happier than couples who had huge weddings.
I think it's a romantic idea especially when you've known your s/o for a long time. However, I couldn't do it. It would break my mother's heart for her not to be at my wedding. However, I wouldn't mind a very small, cheap and intimate gathering.
Yes!! Adrienne nailed it. Always hated that song “it’s a beautiful night, we’re looking for something dumb to do, hey, baby, I think I wanna marry you”😳 “Dumb”? Fr? 👋🏻
My husband and I bought our first house together so we didn't have a huge wedding. It was just us and his mother and my bestfriend. We didn't want to spend a bunch of money on one day. Our wedding was magical without all of that.
The fact that eloping by definition means in the spur of the moment, but where I️ live I️ can’t see that truly happening because u have to get a marriage licensee have specific I️.d. Last year me and my husband literally was going to just do it but found out we needed these things first.
My husband and I have been together for 8 years, married for 5 and we are renewing our vows on our 10th anniversary in 2019 because when we got married, our families couldn’t be there.
I think it depends on the people and if they want that for themselves. I don’t think I would ever do it (because I overthink a lot and I’m a bit of a perfectionist/traditionalist), but who’s to say it wouldn’t be good for someone else?
Me and my husband planned elope we went to the justice of the peace with Just my mom so I love it if it’s planned because we loved each other and I’ve been engaged before and I was planning at wedding and then I realized how much it cost and I think you should be financially stable because I don’t want to be in debt because of a party and we loved it we plan on having a wedding celebration as an anniversary thing but it saved us money especially because we were also moving state lines and we were together almost 3 years before we got married and that last year we got serious about what we wanted for our future because honestly unless your super young when you first start dating someone if you are not talking marriage after three years then you might need to just move on not saying you have to be married by then because some people stay engaged long so they can finance the wedding of their dreams and that’s great but if you can’t see future don’t waste your time
We did and it was planned 6mo(engagement) . it also happen to be during the Covid 19! Which means it still would have only been us. 5-20-20 💕Always Us. We saved money and everyone understood because of the Covid. It was great
I totally agree that it's extremely important to plan out an eloping day, make sure that it's the right, well known future spouse; appropriate/intimate/private/romantic location as well as proper/ethical/wise/respectful etc., Choosen, intimate guest, to be present as the newlyweds take that important step to a new beginning, because it's not like there going on a blind date, or clubbling., 😏
Myronn Coleman yasss lol. 💜💖 Someone told me abt the web exclusive videos so I subbed again. 😂 And yes I saw your comment, and gave it a thumbs up. I normally do 😉😄
My husband and I eloped planned with some witnesses don’t regret it. It’s what we wanted. And everyone was so surprised and that made it fun we’re very private my social media didn’t even know I was in a relationship whole t we were living together for a brick 😂 posting the pictures was hilarious lol
