Dear Amy: My husband and I recently eloped to avoid all of the wedding drama, stress, expense and hubbub. We are in our 30s, and we are the last of our friends to get married. We chose to elope five months after getting engaged and did not tell many friends. Since getting married, however, we have not received many congratulations — not even text messages congratulating us. You have no cake to share, no ceremony to share, no communal celebration to share, and only the leaked news of your elopement to share.
