yeah we eloped to denmark..
the only people who knew before hand were people we knew in berlin.. apart from that, both families were in the complete dark until after the fact.why? we have family in germany and australia.. so one of them would inevitably miss out to some extent.. also, neither of us wanted a big expensive wedding.. they are bullshit.
did we cop flack for it.. of course we did..
none of our family gave us any presents, not that we were expecting them, but to be told straight out we arent giving you a present as we werent invited to the wedding.. its a pretty straight clue..
but yep.. best move we ever did..
funniest part was we barely had any money.. so we had to catch the local bus from our hotel to the registry office in the next town..
the bus we caught happened to coincide with school getting out for the day..it was a bus full of 12 year old kids.. and us, dressed to get married.. on a bus.. in denmark..
in a lot of ways, it was perfect..
- even with this streamlined thing, it was still expensive.. but nothing compared to other friends we know..autoflavour
- the last wedding we went to, the couple spent about 50k on it.. fucking insane if you ask meautoflavour
- There's a study somewhere indicating higher divorce rates among over $50k weddings.vaxorcist
