In case I haven't mentioned it recently, I love this board and the people on it.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'll also note that Nora is much nicer than me
Heh, not really. My own theory about eloping is that the wedding and the ceremony is about the bride and groom and not about anyone else. If they can't make any post-wedding celebration, that's their problem, not mine.
Elopement is an inherently selfish thing to do- and I don't mean that in a negative way. It's the act of focusing on ourselves, not others. Trying to revolve around others' plans sort of makes the whole elopement thing not worthwhile. IME.
I fucking loved eloping and not giving a crap what other people thought. BEST TIME EVER.
See? Not nice!

Someday when I grow up, I want to stop caring what other people think.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My mother has informed me that I am not allowed to elope.
The coffee grounds thing reminds me of a time in high school when one of my classmates tried to fix the copier and ended up covered head to toe in toner.

It all comes from recognizing that what other people think is often COMPLETELY INSANE.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I fucking loved eloping
Dude, yeah. Best thing I've ever done. But I'd amend this:
Trying to revolve around others' plans sort of makes the whole elopement thing not worthwhile.
to "makes the whole elopement thing not eloping".

to "makes the whole elopement thing not eloping".
I fully support the amendment.

Our wings are not tired.
Ew, covered in coffee grounds is a bunch better than toner. the coffee grinder thing I have done too.
How is it I have never visited your neck of the woods?
That's what I'm sayin! I think there should be a winter F2F in the keys.

I like the idea of getting all of my family together to celebrate, and I really hope they can all make it. The elopement for me is really about avoiding the fuss. Flower, dancing, cutting the cake, people clinking glasses all night, etc. I want the brunch to be more of a relaxed family party where hopefully the focus isn't all on me all day long.

Love this idea!
