We didn't elope, but by having out out of town me were able to make sure that only the people who really wanted to be there actually came. The exchange rate was really good for us too so we were able to have a great party for the people who did make it.
I thought I had the Ren Fair thing pegged! Glad to know I wasn't wrong. I don't go very often but I can't turn down a roasted corn.
Good luck with your planning. I know my wife nearly went mad with ours. Maybe I should have helped a little
