[Sschell]

but didn't want to piss the parents off.

[Sschell]

at the wedding itself

 

[Sschell]

a few weeks later we will have a reception... with about 40 guests invited

 

[snickerd3]

pissing off the parents would be bad.

Congrats, Dude! The whole small ceremony, later reception thing sounds good.

 

[Sschell]

the place she... I mean we picked for the reception is pretty cool... little wine bar.

 

[Chucktown PE]

I've mentioned this before but my FIL offered me 20k to elope because he knew that would be cheaper than paying for the wedding that my MIL planned.

yeah... neither of us want to plan or have some big production...

 

[FLBuff PE]

No worries...I had no say in where the ceremony and reception were. But our ceremony was on top of Aspen Mountain, then the reception was at a multi-million dollar house of some friends, so I am not complaining.
