Hey all, I was wondering if anyone has been in the middle of wedding planning and with all the stress decided that they wanted to elope instead? Did you regret it, or was it the best decision for you?
Yes plenty of times. It's really hard planning a wedding but just breathe. Im sure it will work out for the best x
Best decision :-)
Yes but cos of the amount of money we would lose and find difficult to replace, we are going ahead with our original plans, if that wasn't an issue we would clear off on our own amd just have a huge family party after x
I got married in secret was best decision ever don't regret a single thing x
So much cheaper to get Wed abroad too x
I feel like this right now too with less than 5 weeks to go in hindsight I would have eloped but far too close now! Good luck! Xx
I am a little bit but I have a package deal with my venue so they are doing it all even full room decorations, dj, glitter dance floor etc the only thing that's stressing me out is finding bridesmaid dresses, bridal shops are too expensive and I got some off eBay and the sizing are way out or they just expect bridesmaids to be a size 6 .... Do what's best for you and your future husband
Gretna green close family freinds (13) best day ever
About 6 weeks before the wedding that was exactly how I felt.. but I am so glad we didn't as we wouldn't have the memories we have now. X
I so wish I had eloped. The stress has made me so ill :( too late now though. All paid for x
We get married in 7 weeks but I really wish we'd just gone away with just a hand full of close family! I've been so ill with stress I've even been in hospital. The only thing keeping me going is that the wedding we have planned is my dream fairytale wedding and I have faith that it will be worth it in the end. If you have time to change your mind and won't lose too much money in deposits etc then definitely just go and do it without the stress! X
I felt like that at several points in the lead up to the wedding, but the day went so smoothly and everything turned out so great, I'm glad we didn't. Everything I was worried about just completely went out of my head on the day and I had the best time xxx
I nearly canceled everything the day before the money became non-refundable. I didn't and I'm so glad, it was amazing to share the day with my family and friends. X
Knowing what I know now, I would have eloped but we would have lost over £2k so stuck it out. Was a beautiful day and I was happy but if I could do it again I would elope with just a handful of friends and family
This is how I feel right now lol!
We did something similar - although we didn't elope, just downsized and went abroad with less people. Best decision we ever made x
We almost eloped due to massive stress between our families hating each other but there was one song I loved that I kept listening to and thinking 'I want to dance to this song at my wedding' -
In the end we went through with the wedding, everyone was well behaved and it turned out the be the best day of my life.
Best wedding I've ever been too haha. Xx
I can't decide whether to elope and have a party for everyone else or plan a 'proper' wedding!!
I just wanted. A tiny wedding. With my kids but I was talked out of it. And I glad we had the best day with all our family and friends
This time i just wanted a regitry office do us and two witnesses but its h2bs first marriage and so we are going all out church do! Im very stressed!
Thank you there is a wed2be next to me so I will have a look x
Wish I had stuck to my guns with my H2B and persuaded him to marry abroad but instead I'm 6 months into planning our summer wedding for next year, stressed out my head already!
