Women who eloped, how is your relationship going?

8 comments

1. So like technically my girlfriend didn’t ask my parents for permission so I guess that counts as being eloped? Married without parental approval? Seems like an outdated idea to me

   We only got married so we could both be on the birth certificate when I had our twins, non-birthing same sex partners get shafted on rights so we did the bare minimum to marry

   Going well, twins are 2 now, I’m doing the whole SAHM routine till they’re in school and I have an awesome family and great relationship

2. Wonderful.

   We were together for 6 months before we moved in and got engaged, eloped almost a year after that. It’s been 4 years and we’re very happy with all of our choices.

3. Great, we only eloped as we didn’t want the hassle of planning a wedding both families knew.

   We felt we wanted our day exactly as we wanted without having to consider anyone else ans that’s what we did.

   We have been together 4 years and married for nearly 1 year so still pretty early days in the terms of marriages.

4. Excellent! Celebrated our 10 year anniversary last week. We were together for 3 years before deciding to get married, which is a pretty short time in retrospect. But it all worked out and I wouldn’t change a thing.

5. We did it!! I absolutely loved it, zero regrets. Our families were happy for us after we told them, but they were shocked. lol It was just me, him, my 2 kiddos, and the preacher. We went to a beautiful spot on the river, close to home. It was short and sweet. I’ve had an actual wedding before, my first marriage. It was supposed to be “our day” but between his mom and some of our friends showing their butts over silly things. It caused more rifts than anything. Plus it cost way more.

6. We are doing great. I’ve gone to/been involved in several weddings since that only make me more relieved that I didn’t have one of my own. We’ve been together 16yrs, married 7.

7. Dated for one year for eloping. There were hiccups initially but it’s getting better and better with time.

   We enjoy each others company. Have honest conversations. Travel. Try different foods together. Get anxious together and then try to tell each other how silly are for even being anxious. 😅😅

   I’d say good overall. Would do it again.

8. Fantastic. We moved in together after less than a year, then got engaged 2 years later, then bought a house. We eloped 2 years later and this year celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary and our 9th year together this year. He’s my best friend, my best advocate for my medical condition, sexy as hell and the person I would choose to spend all of my time with. It’s only gotten better and better as it’s changed and grown. We got married for us, with 1 friend each in Hawaii with vows from Star Trek and it was perfect and neither of us would change a thing.
