This is for those that only want to put on a "wedding show." Apparently having friends and family around might ruin your wedding show because, after all, friends and family aren't what's important on the big events in your life. What's important is how everything looks. This expensive elopement thing, I think, is for those who truly believe the wedding is not about the event and the celebration of the event, but about the show. For them, the wedding is an elaborate photo shoot - beautiful and perfectly staged. I can't think of another word to describe "people who value how stuff looks over the presence of family and friends" other than "superficial."

Personally, if my reason for eloping was to be alone with my significant other and have the event be just about us, I'd probably end up with an incredibly simple event with as few people around as possible. I'd want it to be sweet and romantic, with lots of spontaneous moments. Hiring a huge gaggle of strangers just to make everything look nice stresses me out just thinking about it!
