We got married at my parents house with about a dozen people there and then went to Sonny’s BBQ

We actually had a free venue. My best friend's parents live in a completely restored 18th century plantation home.

It's beautiful and they've hosted a number of weddings there before. They were my next door neighbors growing up and like family to me.

Even with a free place, it was still a pain in the arse to plan. We were looking for photographers online one night and I told my wife kind of joking, "we should just go to Vegas instead". She said "yeah, screw this. Let's go".

Probably way better and about 1/3 cheaper than what you would have paid in the reception.

I had a friend that eloped last September - she didn’t tell us until she got back from ‘vacation’

My husband and I got married at the courthouse - our parents and siblings knew but that’s it - not really eloping but close enough

How? You sign paperwork pledging to spend the rest of your life with someone.

We got married legally for financial reasons. Neither of us are religious. Just isn't something either of us give a shite about.
