More and more wedding drama... blah... and then I realized something: even if no one else was there, it would still be one of the happiest days of my life. So... perhaps the wedding invitations will say something to the effect of -- we're getting married, it'd be nice if you were there, but the only reason to really come would be to party in Vegas, with or without us. Geez, here I was getting all paranoid about whether or not people will complain... and then I realized that they will always complain, no matter what! They could be at the frickin' wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles (nevermind their eventual outcome) and they would've still complained about something! So... screw it. I'm tired of worrying about whether or not people will have a good time. We'll try to have a good time, and it's up to the guests on whether or not they will join in.

I realize that now. We can do something bigger (or at least have a giant dinner for everyone and their mother to come, eat, then go) later on, when we have the money and patience.

Even Whateley's step-mom suggested eloping.
