I need advice on this since my girlfriend and I are starting to consider eloping. We haven't gone into thorough conversation about it because I want her to come to her own decision about it and I'll support her on whatever she decides. Our situation is a bit complex, In the two years we've been together her parents and I haven't had the best relationship. They didn't want her to be with me because they loved her ex and I guess I wasn't up to their standards and they never really tried to get to know me up until a few months ago. Apart from them I get along with most of her family and friends. My family is pretty much limited to my parents and my siblings and a handful of friends. We've been engaged for two months and in between work and everything day to day haven't discussed any wedding stuff seriously. She brought up eloping kind of playfully and I didn't press her on it. I want her to have the ceremony because I feel like it's something she'll regret if we don't have it, but is it REALLY that important in your opinion?

I've watched Four weddings and Say yes to the dress until I am full of it.  Although it gave me some insight I don't think it helps much seeing other people s weddings.  What do you think is there anything I missed?   I still can't think of ways to wow my guests.  I don't think a wedding should have themes God is Love Love is the theme.  Outside the flowers the food and the ceremony I don't know what more I can do.  What do you think?  

My grandma planned my sister's wedding but my grandma is not here with us now.  Would it be ok to follow the same wedding plans for mine...I think she made it perfect.  I don't think my sister will care she's not even married anymore.
