Yes, we are eloping or having more of a "micro-wedding" since our guest list expanded a bit! But it isn't like the old days, but more so the modern take of an elopement. 

In its original usage, "elopement" typically refers to a couple getting married in a sudden, secretive, or private manner, often without the knowledge or approval of their families or a large ceremony. Today it often reflects a deliberate choice for intimacy, simplicity, or practical reasons rather than a rebellious act. The emphasis is on the couple's desire for a personal and meaningful wedding experience outside traditional norms. An elopement beautifully combines traditional and non-traditional elements, allowing you to create your day exactly as you've imagined it.

So just like much of our relationship, we're doing this our way. This involves our elopement ceremony and immediately followed by our dinner party.
