Should You Elope?

[@jenny-yn3lu]

Having a big wedding 👰 doesn’t mean the marriage will be successful

[@jjtt850]

Juna Antenor Having a 'marriage' doesn't mean it's a marriage either.

[@sunrises8760]

Juna Antenor Exactly

[@rogers5622]

Juna Antenor truth I know people who spent 100k on a wedding and lasted 1 year .

[@thembicosta4394]

Juna Antenor What is a big "marriage"?

[@1AngelNumbers1]

exactly and its not abt gettin married its abt stayin married. anybody can get married but can they last ?? can they survive

[@mamamara3223]

"Planned" eloped 13 years ago and still going strong!

[@DominiqueSBG]

Mara Fairfield Yes! So glad to here this!!!😄

[@golummcsmeagolhomie2396]

Mara Fairfield nice! I myself am a big fan of the “elope and grope” strategy

[@lilmakori]

I agree with Adrienne. I actually wanna elope, because I spending thousands of dollars on a one day doesn't make any sense to me.

[@LGSN96]

lilian makori That one day is a celebration of binding with one person for the rest of your life. It's a pretty big deal, but I do get where you're coming from. Not everybody has that kind of money to spend.

[@tylerthurston7918]

lilian makori THE REAL

[@livelife7955]

I also agree, it's the memory that counts. Do something intimate and special, not crazy expensive.

[@priscilaandrade8618]

To me the wedding is a celebration of love with your S.O and the biggining of a new life together. I think its a very special and important moment in a person's life. With that being said, since its such an important and intimate moment i think it should be shared only with people who are close to the couple. I don't think any person is close to 400 people to invite them to the wedding. You wouldnt invite 400 people to see the birth of your child, so why invite so many people to your wedding? IDK, never was a fan of big weddings. My wedding had 50 people, didn't spent much money, but was the most special and fun day of my life so far.

[@jiminsmix3403]

A wedding is never about the marriage. It's a party for your friends and family. That's it.

[@valeriaperez9349]

Loni’s hair is perfect on her.

[@ohhthatemma]

Jordin has been WIFEY MATERIAL. I'm not at all surprised she took the opportunity when the right partner came along. I wish for her blessings and success in this marriage!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@MaishaOnTop]

Emma Mufundi Amen friend!

[@ohhthatemma]

Right? And it's a Christian marriage!

[@rogers5622]

Emma Mufundi exactly Jordan is the type of girl I always tell my nephews they should find.

[@ourhomeiscool]

Emma Mufundi REALLY?! :-D That just made me smile. She is precious!

[@laurencameron3150]

Yeah but they eloped because she pregant IMO and being that her family is religious, she knows that "daddy dont play that"

[@EstefanyGonzalezXO]

Loni is over this conversation lmao 😂

[@lianet777]

Estefany Gonzalez she’s not; she was thinking back to her time when she eloped. She kept going back to memory. That’s a body language thing. She was thinking about it the whole time

[@Famegonna9999]

Estefany Gonzalez 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@omphilemoerane2569]

Estefany Gonzalez KLol cause it brings back bad memories

[@xredb]

I noticed, hahaha

[@uniqueunique28]

If your going to get married make sure that person is right for you they should have the same morals and values you do if not it won’t work

[@kgarcia5185]

[@Jasmyne444]

AMEN!

[@shanelleellis2540]

Amen

[@Destinay4lyf]

A small intimate wedding is *NOT* eloping. Heck can you even put much planning into eloping? If the couple thought about having an intimate wedding or party or just a getaway but their closest loved ones know....then its not eloping.

[@ericax7812]

Naseeha Amrika Lol true, true

[@SJ-tb2wq]

Elope: verb (used without object), eloped, eloping. to run off secretly to be married, usually without the consent or knowledge of one's parents. 2. to run away with a lover.

[@Destinay4lyf]

Exactly!!!

[@priscilia48]

Their parents didn't even know. They did it at spontaneously with their friends

[@CaribbeanPatience]

I think they mean in the sense that you have talked about getting married and committing to one another and wake up one day and just decide to do it without all the hoopla of a wedding

[@puppyalvin]

Eloping is just the bride and groom ALONE! no family present.

[@andreafoxx1695]

agree because ppl want be private and be happy

[@ellenwhite2973]

When you elope, the wedding truest becomes about you and your partner. No family trying to give opinions, the vows don’t have to be so “speech” like... it’s about you and your love. That’s all.

[@fadumayusuf3027]

Adrienne always so aware of the damn audience lmao

[@lianet777]

Faduma Yusuf that’s what a good host does. They’re aware of the audience and actually engage with them. These are the people that put them up there where they are today

[@faizasaeed1000]

actually coz adrienne is siting in a corner and it gets obvious when she looks at the audience but if u observe all of them look as much as she does even tamera who is at a side is straight n can see the audience without her turning her face

[@Cynthiaa.c541]

if you notice sometimes she will talk to the audience

[@doseofdeja1425]

I eloped and I couldn't agree more with Genie!! Saved all the opinions and naysayers from ruining my decision 😚

[@bennygreene1421]

Exactly!

[@jetnight88]

Hmmm but what if it doesn't work out It's in the moment

[@christina2311]

I don't care about the wedding, I just want to be married to the love of my life. That's enough .

[@nichellesusan8537]

@Christina totally agree!! 👏👏

[@jyabriel08]

My husband and I eloped in the not planned way. We spoke about it multiple times and just decided to do it - $100 bucks well spent. Didn't tell family or anything it was just us against the world. I definitely believe it's not ideal for everyone and sometimes I wonder what would have happened if we did it the traditional way but we're still together 4 years later Some people can get married after 6 months and stay together forever, some people can date for 10 years and break up. It is what is.

[@ceciliamartinez6292]

jyabriel08 that's beautiful. However would you consider doing the wedding at renewing your vows ceremony like Tamara said? Just asking because you did say you sometimes wonder but if not that's fine. I personally can't live wondering for the rest of my life what if....

[@jyabriel08]

I was actually thinking about doing it for our 5th year but my husband is currently deployed. So maybe for your 10 year we'll renew our vows and have a big celebration. The only thing I miss from having a wedding is the dress and the cake lol.

[@KAMYLAH29]

How long were you together before you eloped?

[@tab0108]

I eloped and it was planned. Got married on the beach in Mexico and our best friends attended. No regrets.

[@shirlstemple8741]

Jeannie's thoughts are always my favorite! Love is very very personal. 👌🏾

[@candlewoodsecurity5204]

6 yrs into our relationship.....I eloped...it was the only day off my huni and I ever had at the same time....we drove to Vegas, went to the county clerks office it was empty...good sign....found an Elvis chapel...they had a licensed minister to do a 2 min I do's...you sign and then I got a small arrangement of flowers and you have an actual ceremony with Elvis as an officiate. a young Elvis walked me down the isle while singing and the photographer was taking awesome pics and it was perfect... we didn't tell anyone...we stood at an amazing hotel with a beautiful view, we got pictures, a dvd and a fabulous time in Vegas...best day of my life :)

[@twirltwirlful]

I’m DYING at Adrienne’s lil “ok” at 0:25 😂😂😂

[@chipotleobsessed]

twirltwirlful same lmao

[@mercyo9073]

Thought it was Jeannie

[@kittenmayz611]

Me & my husband eloped(planned) & it was the Best decision i ever made.

[@bubblybuddy3441]

KITTEN MAYZ right! I had my "small wedding" (200 ppl went) at a restaurant and i hated it! I hate being the center of attention. It was so awkward for me. It was a civil ceremony but now I am going to have a symbolic one in Cancun this August with my family and close friends. Sometimes big events like that aren't for some people.

[@LJ-yp8vx]

My husband and I did as well! Just the two of us and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Saved us money!

[@WhittyHutton]

If I ever got married I would elope because I just lost my father and I wouldn’t want a big wedding unless he was there

[@nessawithsmiles]

Whitty Hutton my condolences Whitty

[@WhittyHutton]

O Love thank u so much 😌

[@Pal3sa]

Eloping saves so much money. Do what works for you but remember that eloping means more money for a honeymoon &/or your future.

[@cecileissowa6691]

Im most likely going to elope. I can't please everybody

[@bubblybuddy3441]

Cecile Victoire right!

[@angelicaa93]

Cecile Victoire that's what hubs & mine situation was. Everybody was against us from the start. We dated for a little over a year & then he proposed to me in September of 2014. We wanted our wedding to be December 2014, 3 months later but eloped that day instead. There was too much drama & stress & I felt like I was fighting armies just to be with him & for people to be happy for us. Been married 3 years & together for 4 1/2 years.

[@MaishaOnTop]

LONI THAT GLOW MAMA !!

[@MajesticMyronn]

I honestly feel like... at the end of the day... First of all let's congratulate Jordin on this AMAZING news !!! She genuinely looks happy and Its so crazy to see her married now ! But i feel like whether you wanna an extravaganza and go all out or even if you want to go to the court house and elope then that is up to you ! As long as you married I'm happy for you !

[@bubblybuddy3441]

Myronn Coleman right! Sometimes those big events aren't for everybody. On my wedding day i felt so awkward. But thank god I'm having a retake in Cancun with close friends and family. 💜

[@theechubbyone]

I wouldn't elope, my smallest lowkey idea would be the courthouse with just family and have brunch or a meal nearby to celebrate but it will definitely be an intimate event with no bridal party, my checklist is simply: food, entertainment, venue, color scheme and call it a day. The wedding isn't as important as the union itself.

[@kiranv4605]

What in the Blanche Golden Girls is that top Adrienne???????????

[@kaijoslynn]

All their outfits kinda looked old today...

[@jane62603]

[@heythere5817]

Elopeing doesn't mean a rush. It means going away to get married with just the couple. Mine was planned for six months.

[@gigglyfitzgirl]

Didn't Tamera have like 4 separate parties with 4 different outfits for her wedding? Lol that wedding lasted like a whole week. 😭

[@Neeshpeesh123]

[@absolutelyridiculous3696]

[@priscilaandrade8618]

Me and my husband always had the dream to elope. When we goT engaged and told our parents ( they would be part of it as well) they got all sensitive because some family members wouldnt be part of the moment (we wanted only our parents and brothers sharing the moment). Well, we ended up planning a intimate small wedding (50 people) and decided to spend money in our honeymoon. Even though i regret not eloping anyways (planning a wedding is only fun if you dreamed with it your hole life. I personaltly hated, just wanted to be married and done with the hole thing) not spending so much money was the best decision EVER. I never got the point of big weddings anyways.

[@aMaryK1]

No shade.. i just bought my grandma that H&M plaid shirt that Tamera's wearing

[@ceciliamartinez6292]

😂😂you made me laugh

[@angienew8499]

yeah what was with that shade... why can’t they just act professionally and not like high schoolers. Report the story..

[@bubblybuddy3441]

I had a civil ceremony and a party of 200 people. I felt so awkward. Hate being the center of attention. But right now we are going to have a symbolic ceremony in Cancun with close friends and family. Im more excited for the smaller party than the big one we had. Sometimes big events (like huge weddings) arent for everyone.

[@danyielsays4621]

Im loni when it comes to this topic👌💁 just sipping tea,nodding my head and smiling 😂 #teamsingle

[@chocolateprincess8543]

Yes!❤️❤️❤️ I will most definitely be eloping in the future .😌

[@somieesomiee]

Adrienne's point 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@caenterprisellc6922]

Having a big wedding doesn't mean it will be successful. We had a wedding (planned for 1 year) with a guest list of over 100 people and spend approx 12k of personal saved money to pay for the wedding. I am now divorced and are no longer friends with none of the people that attended the wedding. Through everything one friend and family member called a few times over the past 2 years. I'm not hurt by it nor will I mend it. I just know who they really are. The thought of having a big wedding irritates me especially if there will be a bunch of people there so called there for me that I don't like and I don't care about. I'm not having a big wedding.

[@AS-kf1ol]

I hate the term eloping... We went to the courthouse and got married. Period. We planned to do it, it wasn't done on one random day. But it definitely happened on a Monday morning with 2 family members only. Then we went straight into the immigration process bc my husband isn't American and although we met, dated and lived together abroad, I wanted to go home to NY and take him with me. People have asked us if we'd do a "real" wedding... Like foh, you think our wedding wasn't real? Do you think our marriage isn't real? You don't know real love until you're in an international marriage, dealing with being separated and the very costly and invasive process of immigration. It's like Jeannie said, It's about what the couple needs/wants. Some couples who just got married on their own are way happier than couples who had huge weddings.

[@jetnight88]

But if you rush you get blinded at the fact later.... Oh by it's too soon

[@melaniemoore2945]

So happy for Jordin!

[@lashdb2057]

I feel like Jeannie's question to Loni about having a feeling before marriage was personal. She probably is looking back and remembering her feeling. Sigh, I feel so much for Jeannie

[@IfyouBelleve]

Lash DB I agree they did another topic where she didn't feel ready to marry Freddie when he asked her

[@lashdb2057]

IfyouBelieve oh sigh. Was that today too?

[@jennyeddins7809]

Lash DB that was a while back when they were talking about proposals.

[@TheLifeandThoughtsofShan]

Lash DB that's what sprang to mind for me... I agree also because I had an experience such as this I didn't listen though and disaster struck later so it's good to follow your mind not your heart

[@Oldaccount-wx2lg]

Loni looks so fucking beautiful and her hair is just out of this world!!!!

[@gigglyfitzgirl]

I just know Jason Derulo is somewhere crying over this right now.

[@MegaCadette55]

Maybe not now but later when he grows from an immature f**boy to man. For now,he is still running after plastic dolled up women with with gigantic butts for one night stands.I don't know how they even get together in the first place.Guess he was Jordan's frog to kiss before finding her prince.

[@bubblybuddy3441]

Rosa he lost a good one -.-

[@rogers5622]

gigglyfitzgirl nah he worried about hooking up with THOTS..😂

[@SJ-tb2wq]

No he ain't. He's young and has access to a bunch of hot broads! He might think about it when he's pushing 40 and wants to finally settle down.

I'd rather have a small wedding and tell everybody later

[@11SierraMist11]

Loving these longer videos!

[@jtaggartt]

My husband and I bought our first house together so we didn't have a huge wedding. It was just us and his mother and my bestfriend. We didn't want to spend a bunch of money on one day. Our wedding was magical without all of that.

[@MYMusicMYLove]

I think it's a romantic idea especially when you've known your s/o for a long time. However, I couldn't do it. It would break my mother's heart for her not to be at my wedding. However, I wouldn't mind a very small, cheap and intimate gathering.

[@miaqueen3306]

I can never decide who i like the best out of them..love them all!

[@mamartinez9340]

I eloped at age 15 with my 19 yr old school sweetheart. On June 20 😉on June 27 we will be celebrating our 38th anniversary. We had to wait for the longest 7days to officially marry by his grandfather at his other grandpa family home in the country. We waited on my mom to sign consent. We are happy serving each other in God grace. First love and only 💘 love. Young couple can survive marriage at young age or to one partner if truly committed . thanks for reading. God bless.

[@CedySeb]

That is so beautiful. May God bless you both

[@emyyyxx]

ngl it’s kinda weird he was dating a underaged 15 year old…. umm.. you couldn’t even legally give consent :/

[@yahainHotPink]

Most cases of eloping are more planned than not! This is nice for Jordin & Dana

[@In_time]

Yes!! Adrienne nailed it. Always hated that song “it’s a beautiful night, we’re looking for something dumb to do, hey, baby, I think I wanna marry you”😳 “Dumb”? Fr? 👋🏻

[@HummingbirdQueen]

Loni looks so beautiful today... she will always be beautiful but today the way her hair, makeup, and outfit is, really accentuate her features.

[@gracesaysgrrr]

My husband and I have been together for 8 years, married for 5 and we are renewing our vows on our 10th anniversary in 2019 because when we got married, our families couldn’t be there.

[@Anbu_Leaf]

The fact that eloping by definition means in the spur of the moment, but where I️ live I️ can’t see that truly happening because u have to get a marriage licensee have specific I️.d. Last year me and my husband literally was going to just do it but found out we needed these things first.

[@sajini7925]

I love Adrienne's answer. We all need accountability on some level, no matter how old we are.

[@bennygreene1421]

Elopement is the personal business between man and woman, and you notice every time you tell your business you suddenly have millions of opinions from people.

[@journeygalore]

[@LiLmSzDiVa]

I really like the idea of a planned eloping.

[@Nanyal1]

Finally. Longer videos

[@biancamartin1606]

My husband and I eloped planned with some witnesses don’t regret it. It’s what we wanted. And everyone was so surprised and that made it fun we’re very private my social media didn’t even know I was in a relationship whole t we were living together for a brick 😂 posting the pictures was hilarious lol

[@bennygreene1421]

Keep it always from social media. If not you will have people making stupid and vulgar comments.

[@MichelleJacksonM_bluecaramel14]

Me and my husband planned elope we went to the justice of the peace with Just my mom so I love it if it’s planned because we loved each other and I’ve been engaged before and I was planning at wedding and then I realized how much it cost and I think you should be financially stable because I don’t want to be in debt because of a party and we loved it we plan on having a wedding celebration as an anniversary thing but it saved us money especially because we were also moving state lines and we were together almost 3 years before we got married and that last year we got serious about what we wanted for our future because honestly unless your super young when you first start dating someone if you are not talking marriage after three years then you might need to just move on not saying you have to be married by then because some people stay engaged long so they can finance the wedding of their dreams and that’s great but if you can’t see future don’t waste your time

[@melissadin9718]

[@lumieredarling3739]

I think it depends on the people and if they want that for themselves. I don’t think I would ever do it (because I overthink a lot and I’m a bit of a perfectionist/traditionalist), but who’s to say it wouldn’t be good for someone else?

[@MsMdip]

Yes you should elope. The average cost of a wedding in the US is $25000. The cost of opportunity is too damn high for getting caught up on societal expectations.

[@smeak9246]

I don't think you should elope on impulse. I do think it's a great way to save money and have money for your future. Bringing the idea to your significant other will show you whether or not they want a marriage or just a wedding. They don't have to be on board with the idea but if they fly off the handle about the suggestion that relationship is going nowhere

[@a-totally-random-person]

Elopement is perfect for avoiding a dysfunctional ass family. I would definitely consider.

[@mistymoody6291]

I totally agree that it's extremely important to plan out an eloping day, make sure that it's the right, well known future spouse; appropriate/intimate/private/romantic location as well as proper/ethical/wise/respectful etc., Choosen, intimate guest, to be present as the newlyweds take that important step to a new beginning, because it's not like there going on a blind date, or clubbling., 😏
