I was a child when a family friend's daughter eloped. She had actually been dating a relative of mine, and eloped with someone else. Her family wanted to see her marry, so the minister was asked, and complied, with a simple ceremony. I guess the wording he used was, "Did you agree to love, honor, and respect one another?" (It has worked out. They're still married, 50-odd years later)
Having worked for a few years in bridal shops, I have the same attitude as the bride in Guihong's post. I work in a men's store, currently, and weddings are still being planned and held. Some are looking toward big receptions next year. At least one couple has used the situation to their advantage: both families wanted huge, elaborate festivities, and the happy couple simply opined, "Oh, that would be nice, but we don't want to wait to get married."
