I can’t help but wonder… is it possible to have an intimate, whirlwind elopement without pissing off everyone you love, especially your well-meaning, (yet slightly traditional) parents?

In short, yes. But like most things in life, it takes a helluva lot of compromise...

Don’t get me wrong, Pinterest is great.

If I want exercise routines to get arms like Michelle Obama, or if I wanna make a cheese ball in the shape of a pumpkin, I know where to go - not necessarily in that order, but maybe.

But, for a wedding? I’ll pass...
