To elope or not to....

Hi everyone,

I've always dreamt of having a traditional wedding (not big but enough people), however... throughout the planning process, we have stumbled on very difficult family dynamics (divorced parents, control freaks, unease between siblings) that are making the process very unenjoyable to us... Everyone tells me this is normal but it has come to a point where I'm not even looking forward to getting married (I love my future hubby, its the party that has all the fun sucked out of it).

We have been discussing maybe eloping without telling anyone but it's a hard decision to make... I'm afraid I would regret it but on the other hand, planning so far has given me so much stress that I'm physically suffering :/

Would it be a good option for us? I read some people say to not do it if you're not freely choosing it. We would probably do a later party with friends and family but it won't feel the same? IDK, please help a stressed girl out :/
