It is normally considered for eloping to be a very bad thing to do, one filled with much recriminations, anger, and disappointment from the family, especially from mothers who think they have lost their son or daughter. Do remember that nothing is impossible, even eloping and getting your parents' blessings.
Disadvantages of Eloping When considering the option of eloping, there are several distinct and common disadvantages that are likely to emerge as a result. You'd have to consider that it might hurt your family if you suddenly take off to get married, they'd think that you don't love them enough nor consider them important enough to attend your wedding. And think of the photos you could have had, pictures taken with friends and family, striking various poses some serious and some wacky, part and parcel of a happy wedding ceremony.
Show Honesty
This can represent some major drawbacks, but there will be ways for you to go around those. If indeed you have chosen to elope, effective communication and honesty will become your saving grace.
If you decide to go ahead with the elopement, then it's time to see your parents. There's a good chance that you will receive some very adverse reaction, so always remember the reason why you're eloping. This is a good way to start the conversation.
Include in your arguments that eloping will save you from spending too much on a huge wedding when it's not really necessary. Think how it will save you from the hassle of figuring out seating arrangements so that warring cousins or divorced aunt and uncles won't have to sit on the same table.
Keep Mom Involved Keeping your mother happy, even if you elope, means keeping your mother involved in your personal decisions for the elopement. Get her opinion regarding the proper wedding attire. Remember to ask your parents about the different aspects of the wedding, this will make them feel important.
You Don't Have To Be Alone
Even if eloping, you can still have a best man, main-of-honor, your parents, and choice close friends present. Besides, you can always have a party with your friends and families later on. Tell all your acquaintances that you are well and truly married once you get back. Send everyone a message regarding the elopement. There is absolutely no sense in keeping any of it secret.
In Conclusion
You're the only one who can decide when and how you'll get married. You have the option to wait until your first wedding anniversary for a big bash, or you may make it traditional, or very informal. Eloping remains an exceptional and functional choice for those couples that simply cannot afford all the bells and whistles. Furthermore, postponing the reception may actually be more advantageous for the newlyweds, this gives them time to put away some money for the reception, something they can delay until their first anniversary as a couple.
