| Hi,
One of the things that will come up later, when families don't get along, will be more important than your present decision of whether to elope. Moms, both sides, have the opportunity to be a grandma. Things later will be of more concern with you in this marriage; such as, will the Mom's actually be allowed to be a grandma? Will they ever be with their grandchildren?
Family matters are important. When two people get married, then believe it or not, their families are actually "married", too.
You should elope, and stop worrying about it. Getting people together, not caring for each other, is tough enough if they only live a 100 miles apart. But, 3000 miles?
Spending the next 5 months trying to get these families together for a wedding won't be worth the worry and aggravation. Go for elopement.
I do wish you the very best, and wish you happiness in the time to come after the marriage. |
