My oldest son and his fiancee are having a planned elopement this summer with everyone's blessings. They can't afford a big wedding right now, but they are ready to make things official, so they'll be going to the city hall to get married soon. Parent's and siblings will be there, but that's it. She has an elopement dress and a photographer lined up for that day. Down the road they'll do a more formal renewal and reception and have a party for a larger crowd.
