So, anybody want to pony up some advice? Preferably amusing advice instead of depressing advice? This will be a first marriage for both of us.
I actually have some etiquette questions that I think I know the answer to but would like some reinforcement. For example, we are going to elope. But I know that people in his family and my family are going to want to buy us wedding gifts even though we're not having a wedding. Would it be tacky to register even if we're not having a wedding? I wouldn't announce to people that we had registered but if people asked me (or my mother), I would let them know. How tacky is this? Where is Debtslave?

Congratulations!
Having never gone through anything like that, I have absolutely no advice to give. I will point out that my parents got eloped nearly 36 years ago. It seemed to take. There are a couple of pieces of silver around the house that they say they got as wedding presents after people found out about their marriage, but I don't think they registered anywhere.
ETA: Let me know how it goes. I'm under orders to follow the family tradition should anyone be stupid enough to want to marry me.
