ANNOUNCING THE ELOPEMENT

You must be wondering, when do you tell people that you're planning to elope? The answer is--you don't--unless you want to be talked out of it. There will be no shortage of self-appointed wedding planners and self-invited guests who will tell you "you can't do that." Share the news with the guests who will be included in your celebration and ask for their discretion.  When curious souls ask you about your wedding plans, just tell then it's a secret and that they'll find out at the appropriate time.


In our case, we invited others to share in our joy by sending announcements (promptly after the wedding) that included a link to our wedding website, where we posted our elopement story with photos of the ceremony and reception for them to view. Nobody appeared offended for not being at the wedding, and we received lots of well wishes from the friends and relatives who sincerely cared about our happiness. That's what marriage is all about.
