My DH and I were together 8 years before we got married. We originally want to run away and elope. But then people near and dear to me couldn't be there, like my grandma.
We decided on a very small, intimate wedding - 15 guests. My brother and DH's sister stood up for us. We got married, had cocktails, and dinner. Everyone went home by 9:30.
If you're not sure how your family will take your new DH, then go for something small or eloping. Talk to the people you want there ahead of time and ask if they would be able to join you if you went away to get married.
The rest of our huge family forgave us that we kept our wedding to immediate family - we were on a tight budget and we're not showey people, so a big crowd where we had to be the centre of attention was way out of the question.
I wish you luck, whatever you decide!! Congrats!
