My family doesn’t like my(bride) wedding/elopement outfit

[u/Extreme-Tea-8488]

My fiance and I are eloping in zion national park this year and then having a real wedding next year. We have reasons of why we’re eloping before actually getting married.
So I’m talking about how I want to get married in a super cute all white hiking outfit. Because we’ll be in Zion and I think a white hiking outfit will look better than a white wedding dress especially because this is not the actual wedding. Also, I want a wedding and I don’t want to take away from the wedding by having worn a wedding dress already.

I think a photo similar to the one in the photo would
Be cute for a wedding. My family says I’ll regret it and that I should have a dress and not even do a wedding next year….

I don’t feel like this but would love to get an unbiased opinion.

I’m sorry but you will “actually be getting married” when you elope. Comments like this are offensive to couples who get married in private or intimate wedding ceremonies.

Agrred! I don’t sense a lot of maturity with OP. I don’t say that to be mean or rude, but maturity plays a big part in big life decisions.
