Can I Elope Without Him?

I’m getting more and more frustrated. My mom was kind enough to call around to venues today to book appointments for us to go see them. She got an idea of the prices, about $70-$90 per person. Not bad. A couple of places will reduce the price to $30 if I book for sometime before the end of the year. What a steal! Getting a wedding together in four months would be difficult, but it would be do-able. Especially if it would save 1/3 of our reception costs. quanta won’t even discuss it. I’m getting the feeling that he really didn’t want to get engaged, or at least he wants a very, very long engagement. It would be nice if he would show even the slightest interest. I’m begining to think I shouldn’t waste my time.
