Like I said, the current generation (mine) has parents that believe strongly in Mariage still. By the time my boys get married there will probably be much more eloping. My fiance considered going to Vegas but decided no to due to family. We're still keeping it very low key but doing it mainly for kids. We want children together and I am NOT going through the legal crap if something happens to one of us.. That and we're sick and tired of being asked 'so when are you two getting married?' :P
