I want to elope!

well i spoke to FH about everything and i think we have come to a compromise. We WILL have the traditional LI reception with all included but for our honeymoon, we will renew our vows in full destination wedding fashion, with everything i wanted. its fine with me that only my FH and I will be at the second ceremony. we will have to spend a bit more because we WILL me getting married twice(i want photography and everything) but both of our heart will be content in the end.

i know this means we will have to rent a little longer, but i know eventually we will get the house and picket fences that i wanted. i guess getting it 1 or 2 years later isnt the end of the world if everyone is happy and our wedding is a celebration! Thanks for all you advice, i dont know what i would do without everyones different viewpoints!
