My friend just eloped in Vegas without telling ANYONE.. not even her parents. She just broke off an engagement with a different man less that a year ago, and ran off with her now husband after only knowing each other 6 weeks.
I am obviously worried for her, she barely even knows this guy and comes from a lot of family money, but is it too late to say something? She is a good friend of mine, and I know she will act defensive if I voice my concerns, so is it best if I just keep my mouth shut since the damage is already done??

Oh my lord. Just tell her to be careful.
1I think there is absolutely nothing you can do about this. I would say it is her business. The only thing you can do is be there when she gets her divorce (which I think she might). Sometimes we just have to let them ride the waves themselves
2And please please please try to get along with her now husband instead of resenting him. You friend will choose him not you. Be very careful not to alienate yourself.
3I would say it's too late to really voice a dissaproving opinion of the whole situation. There is a reason that they eloped instead of having everyone they know with them for that time, and that was probably that they knew that they would meet so much resistance. Personally, I think the best thing you can do is just be her friend, because there are just some lessons that you need to learn yourself... even though it will be hard.
4Agree with everyone else that you have to keep quiet at this point. The best thing to do is just to be there for her if she gets hurt, knowing that she probably just learned a hard lesson.
5I agree with the others to just be supportive of her friend. I in fact know several couples who have known each other for that time frame and then got married in a 'rash' manor that are still together and very much in love. However the financial aspect worries me. I think thats worth mentioning since they almost def. did not get a prenup....
6I agree with everyone else.
Just be there for her, so that when things go wrong she
has a shoulder to lean on. I mean, the financial stuff worries me too...if she's a super close friend I would say something like, "You didn't get a pre-nup? What were you thinking?" or
something like that. I dunno.
7wish her the best.
8Just be a supportive friend and stick with her come what may. The situation may not be as dire as you imagine it to be. My parents had a secret elopement after dating only a short time and have now been happily married for almost 31 years!! So wish her the best and just be there to listen if she ever needs you. You are a good friend to care so much for her well-being
