Reconsidering

So. I have been married before, eloped really. It was on a whim to a long time friend. My fiance also got eloped. Of course, neither marriage worked out lol. I wanted to actually have our families there. But things have just been so crazy with literally EVERYTHING going on and I have so busy working that I barely remember to eat. Sure I am making money now, and we were going to start making trips to north AZ to look at places to eat, hotels, and parks for the wedding. But now is not the time for that.

Moving on to the title here...

I have been SERIOUSLY reconsidering doing even our small wedding. It would be easier for us to just get eloped. Sure we wouldn't get much of a honeymoon if we did it spare of the moment as he talks about all the time. But I am the reason we are doing the small (immediate family only) wedding that keeps our guest list at less than 20 people. MOST of our guest list is here in the state.

With everything going on, is anyone else reconsidering EVERYTHING they thought about for their wedding?

I am wanting to cave into my fiance's wild dreams/fantasy.

Do you want to celebrate it at all with those people ? Because it can be really simple like literally just a dinner in a private room at a restaurant with nothing else to it

Our wedding was going to be the wedding, we take everyone out to eat and then we go on our way. Nothing fancy. But I am thinking of reconsidering that lol.

I was like your fiancee and just wanted to run off - my FH talked me into a wedding, and now actually feel somewhere in the middle.
I think you can do it both, have a small getaway - spur of the moment wedding with just you, fiancee and parents. Plan a weekend, surprise everyone, ask them to join you on a road trip to XYZ and just do it. No planning, and everyone is happy. You get your minimony with close family and he gets his somewhat spur of the moment elopement.

That is the thing. We are doing it family-only gathering. Telling them to meet us at XYZ, then go out to eat afterward. It cannot get much smaller than that unless we elope with just the two of us. Cannot notify parents, my dad is the only parent invited that does not live in the immediate area, and he is a doctor, usually does not get much time off as an ER doc but, with the situation now, it is hard to get a text response from him.
We are already doing the very minimum for the plans we want, but I was just feeling like with everything going on, we might as well elope.
